sad day

[creighta]

Bitter sweet week. I bought a suburban and sold my IDI. I was glad to be rid of the cab cancer for a day or two, but miss the smell of diesel fuel in the drive now. Still have a Powerstroke, but just not the same.

Anyhow, thanks for all the help and advice along the way, I may be back if I run across a deal somewhere.

technically if its a 6.2 or 6.5 its still an idi. just not international.... actually to be even more technically correct, my 1996 6.5td suburban 2500 had a international (navistar) cast engine block. So i guess its an international IDI too lol.

But do they all have the scent that whispers of loyalty and love in your ear late at night? The C6500 flat bed I used to drive at work smelled like lies and disappointment. The new gasser I got last week smells like mildew and lonliness.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend finds none of these attractive on me.

But I guess what you're saying is Creighton doesn't have to leave the fold?

You must be registered for see images attach

Motor was cast by Navistar. IDI motor by design, truck had a bunch of stupid little quirks, the cheap plastic parts on the dash were starting to fall apart even though my ford is older and after replacing 2 IP's on this thing to the tune of 1500 bucks i said to heck with this thing and the stupid optical sensor. I do kinda miss it, guess i am a *********./

edit: i used to joke that if the Burb could speak i would near nothing but lies and deceit. "oh take me to orlando, i won;t leave you on the side of the road"

So what you are saying is I should throw a gallon of Diesel on my wife? Either it will be an aphrodisiac or I am sleeping with the dog!

I thought the 6.5 was a Detroit design.....was this a contract between the two?

its an IDI, indirectly injected design. AMG went to Navistar to build their improved blocks over the GM block. The improved block was a replacement in many Hummer trucks. I happen to score one in this Suburban. Beautiful navistar logo in the valley of the motor.

My burb is a 99 with a 350 gasser. Everyone convinsed me that since I tow instead of using the bed this was a good move.....I like the ride, but when I pulled our mower (a 60" dixie chopper) onto the trailer and could see the rear end drop about 3" I started to question my judgement. Now when I try to put 6 head in the bumper pull stock trailer or hook to the camper I may realize that this was another dumb move.

I guess the old Ford tractors we have around are technically IDIs and are Fords to boot, huh may have to hang around for a while afterall.

Nothing like the smell of diesel in the morning to wake you up at 6:30.
