IDI Population

[Exekiel69]

Maybe a little different around here, but there are plenty of IDI equipped vans. Have a few customers at the shop who have them (one an ambulance). Also in med duty trucks! Lots of 6.5 GMs too. Maybe this is IDI country. Did I mention I own a 350 diesel? I bought it locally, too

If I go forward and succeed with my wvo project I'll be looking for an IDI van :Sly .

Also there is nothing on the outside of the IDI vans indicating that they are diesels, as opposed to the PowerStroke vans and diesel pickup trucks. So unless you hear the diesel engine in the IDI van, you don't know.

The badges on my truck I got them from an IDI van. I removed them from the van myself. It was an eighty some year don't remember exactly but it could be 87.

Seems like those darksiders are wanting to know which truck is the best bang for the buck...drop by www.superdutydiesel.com and VOTE in the poll. If nothing else, we can go mess with their results

I remember in the late 1980s reading the Navistar was building around 50,000 Diesels per year for Ford. This would have been before the Diesel craze really took off. Somebody out there must have more accurate numbers.

My guess is, Roboto was referring to '92+ vans. I know that my old '84 E-350 had "DIESEL" badges on both front fenders and on the starboard side rear door. But, I don't think I've ever seen a diesel badge on a '92+ IDI van (although I think at least some darkside vans had badges)...

Idunno, we don't have a lot of IDI's around here. With one exception. There's an older fella across the lake that has 2-3 of them. He likes wrenchin on um.

But I do see a lot of 94-97 PSDs.

We have a older fella over by the river that has 3 IDIs. One is in a Bronco!

LMAO

Don't forget the guy in my neck of the woods with two running IDI's and countless dead hulks/IDI parts strewn about the workshop

Then there's that obnoxious young weirdo out West with three IDI's...with two of those IDI's missing three cylinders...

IDI vans may not be too rare but I bet there are not a lot of E-350 6.9 based motorhomes. I have a '86 Jubilee 27' MH I bought last summer. 34,000 miles on it.
