I finally have a deal made to get the 1997 7.3PSD out of my garage.
I'm trading it for one of these:

Almost new, used 3 times. This deal is going down with Jim - the guy who helped me mount my t-case. He needs a PSD for his 96 F350 dually 4x4 (35's, 8" lift - killer PSD Ford with a 6spd ZF) and I wanted a winch big enough to pull my beast out should the need arise
....The shop he works in is a Warn dealer so I stopped in to see him about buying one used or warranty return....We got to talking and within 5 minutes a deal was made.
He had this on his Jeep but now that he wants to rebuild the 7.3 in his truck he wanted a good runner to keep it going in the mean time. He was eyeballing my PSD while he was working in my shop....
I'm going to make it a mobile mount use for the front or rear of my F250, my buddy's car trailer and a freebie mid 80's Suzuki Samurai I'm supposed to pick up this week.....Got plans for the Zook, snowplow in the winter, mud machine in the summer with a tow bar on it - the price was right.

.....I don't offroad with my truck and I won't be for sure if I get the Samurai. Mostly just use the F250 in the snow, woods for firewood transport and hauling heavy loads or gravel. My front mount will be as good as a class 5 rear. 1/4" wall reciever tubing. The temptation will be gone but I like my IDI too much to pull it out....Low on HP compared to the PSD but so damn reliable....My IDI is tight - 1/2 a litre of oil used in 3500km.
