IDI Til I Die
Registered User
Just wanted to introduce myself here since Ive been lurking alot lately. Just bought myself a 1985 CCLB 4 Spd 2wd IDI with 87,000 miles on it. I've had a cummins, and a 7.3 stroke and theres just something about this thing that I love. I will get some pictures tomorrow.
The trucks interior is my favorite part the bench seats are like big couches. The truck also has a gear splitter with underdrive. I have a few questions for you guys also.
The two tank system doesnt work so should I replace that electronic fuel switcher on the inside frame rail?
The truck has a dual range underdrive I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of oil it uses as I am flushing everything and replacing it with new oil.
I have a car trailer that weighs 2500 and it holds 7500lbs can this truck handle towing 10,000 on the hitch? I assume it can but I could be wrong, the truck feels very strong ( truck does 60 at about 2500 rpm so I assume it has 4.10s or so).
The trans is a little finicky and rattles like mad at low rpms in 1st and 2nd should I be concerned? I just changed the oil and it still does it. My 2000 7.3 did the same thing in 1st.
That sums up my first post, looking forward to joining the IDI community. Thanks in advance.
