Well, I re - purchased the old black 1986 dually today... and it needs almost as much work now when I bought it the first time. How do some people have so little respect for vehicles that they literally drive them through every little problem they acquire until the one that leaves them on the side of the road? 
The kid I sold it too managed to break tilt column so it just flips up and down freely... kept driving it. Wedged the truck between two trees with both doors open, so neither one would open more than maybe a foot... kept driving it. Blew out the clutch... you guessed it... kept driving it. Broke the shifter off... put a 4-way over the stub and kept driving it. Finally broke something in the transmission (I wonder if he was jamming gears?), leaving it with 2nd and reverse only, and drove it back to me so I could fix it so he could sell it. I laughed and told him he'd be better off selling it back to me for next to nothing then paying me to fix it and then trying to get real money for it. This is the second time I've rescued this truck... some people's children 
The good news is, now I have an IDI again and I got it for $800! I have the tranny and clutch for it sitting around, I fixed the doors already, and the column shouldn't be a big deal... I'm hoping to have it on the road next week. Got the old tranny out already. Alright I'm done ranting... I'm excited about having an IDI again, I'm planning the WMO system for it at the moment. Been reading through those threads and can't wait to get that in place. This is the Best forum on the web, I'll be glad to spend more time here...

I know they are IDI's as well...but listen to this. When one says, I drive an IDI, I bet most of us think about a IH 6.9 or 7.3. Usually guys with 6.2's or 6.5's talk about there rig, they say they've got the 6.2 or 6.5 diesel in them, I've never heard a guy with a 6.2 or 6.5 say yeah my chevy's got an IDI in it. Thats why IH 6.9 and 7.3 are the real IDI's (its was ment as a joke
