Well, my time as an IDI driver has passed. I want to thank everyone here for all your help over the past few years while I had one of the best trucks on the road. I have enjoyed the heck out of my IDI, for the most part, and have CERTAINLY learned a thing or two about diesels and overall auto mechanics... but it is time to move on.
The move was less due to issues associated with the truck than to issues associated with my 2001 Chevy Impala. In addition to the transmission failure 2 months ago (40,000 miles), the Impala had some more issues that were finally diagnosed last week (catalytic converter is gone 41,000 miles and there are front end problems that'll cost a good bit to fix.) While the Cat is covered under warranty, I'm seeing a trend toward expensive repairs on the vehicle... and it is just time to cut my vehicle herd down to 2 vehicles and to get rid of the troublesome Impala and into a new Ram 3500 diesel with full warranty for the next few years.
No sense in having two one ton trucks in the family, plus my wife's truck.
SO... I elected to sell my '91 F-350 diesel. Squirreltow is the new owner, and I'm sure he will probably chime in sooner or later. I think he will be well served by that nice '91 F-350 he drove off with 5 minutes ago.
I'll be moving into an '06 Ram 3500 by about July or so. Not sure on attending the IDI rally since I won't have a diesel to bring by then, but have IDI in my blood and appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of the IDI crowd here over the years. Will look forward to reading/replying to posts here from time to time, and will always smile when I see an IDI rolling down the road.
Ba-a-a-h-h-h-h.... Ba-a-a-h-h-h-h....
Thanks, y'all! for everything. I'll be around.
