I think I've posted here before, maybe a year or three ago. Anyways, I've been wanting to buy a IDI truck for a long time, and it finally happened. 1994 Crew Cab dually with factory IDI turbo and 121k miles. Fresh transmission and AC. I think this is the best running IDI I have driven, seems better than most of the first gen Powertrokes also. Needs a drivers side dually fender and a rear bumper. Otherwise it's complete and completely rust free. One of the few real benefits of living in Southern California. Interior is so so. It started easily. No smoke at all. I guess now it's time to put some of the stuff I've been reading about for years to use. Pick the truck up tomorrow after work.
It's got kind of a funky paint job. I think the 2 tone stuff like this comes with the Roll-A-Long package. Pretty sure that package is regional.
It's pretty clean under the hood. No leaking diesel, everything seems like it's in place. Couple minor oil leaks. New return lines. Radiator and coolant look clean, no signs of overheating.
Can't wait to start tinkering with it. Already ordered a couple gauges, a-pillar pod and "turbo Timer". Already have almost 500 gallons of filtered WMO to start blending. Once the gauges (pyro mainly) are in I want to bump the timing and pump slightly. Want to work on some of the restrictions in the factory turbo setup also. I do some TIG welding at work when the fabrication side needs help, so I think that part of the project will be home brewed.
I learned a lot by reading this forum over the last few years. I think (Hope) the tips have helped me pick a good one.
