A couple of years ago, I regrettably had to let my 89 F350 IDI go- despite really low mileage, all of the age-related things started to fail in quick succession (hoses, alternator, heater core....) and even though it was all stuff I am able to fix, I was spending every available dollar and minute fixing it (it was my only daily driver), which just didn't work with being a single dad who is lucky enough to have my son 1/2 time, and the job, etc.; I crossed path with a guy whose kids are grown, knows this series rig, and who has the time, and so now he's the 'keeper' and glad to have it.
I miss it, and I miss this group, but so it goes. At least I had the opportunity to experience both.
I have often thought of and appreciated the great knowledge, ingenuity, and 'culture' on this group- I've been on a lot of interest-based internet groups, and this group has the best "signal to noise" ratio I have ever experienced, combined with a welcoming outlook and a eager willingness to help.
So, thank you all, enjoy your IDIs, and long may you roll.
PS, I got back every dime I had in the truck after driving it for 3 years and about 13,000 miles, the best I've ever done on a vehicle...
