I've got an '87, 6.9 idi, best truck I've ever owned.

Looks like you might have e stopped making content. Bummer, my dad and I are looking to restore his 1985 f250 diesel. Was interested in see this one transformed.

peg will be proud of you

Niko’s got his own Ford hospital 😅.

I have an ‘87 the same color. It’s name is “Old Brown Eye.”

Good old international harvester IDI!

OOOOHHHHH, Never....ever....use starting fluid on a ford idi...even if the glow plugs are disconnected. But connected, you'll bend rods when the eather fires way before top dead center. Don't ask me how I know.

That's what never to do with any IDI. THEY'RE NOT DESIGNED FOR HIGH RPM, IT'S A LOW ROM TORQUE ENGINE. NUMBSKULLS HAMMERING ON THESE THINGS DESTROY THEM CONSTANTLY AND THEN THEY'RE MORE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE IF AND WHEN YOU CAN FIND ONE. PEOPLE THAT DO THIS HORSESHIT HONESTLY REQUIRE COPIOUS BITCH SLAPPING.

Where’d you go? I wanted to see what happened to it!

Ok note to self.. glasspacks on an idi are shit

429 Cobra Jet and 6.9 IDI are the only Fords I'll drive 😂

69

i love the old idi fords i still drive one today in my mind the idi diesel was the best diesel engine ever made

As far as your O rings go, you can get comparable ones that will work at Ace hardware stores, I own a 1988 F250 with the 7.3 IDI and they use the same rings. I tried them on a whim one day since Ace was closer to my house and they worked and well. Bring one to the store and get them from the plumbing repair section. If your transmission shifts well you likely have the C6 transmission, it is one of the toughest and best Ford transmissions ever made. It's not the most finessed, it definitely is crude and has tall gears which show at highway speeds, but damn tough and reliable. It is what's in mine.

3:40 underrated joke

Hell yeah

This kid really wants to be Peg hahah

How do Ass Heads like this... Find deals like that... Eye, Yie, Yie...

I just recently completely restored a 1986 f-250 4x4 with a 6.9. I've restored a few other gas trucks and a 1966 mustang. But this is my very first diesel ever. I've always wanted a Ford diesel truck but refuse to pay the ridiculous prices people ask for there diesel's. I was looking on Facebook 2 summer's ago seen a add for a 86 ford diesel for 600 dollars well by the time I made it to the guy's house to see the truck he said 400 dollars would take it today. I bought it. Had to buy a rust free 86 gas cab so then I had to pull the diesel harness out payed a guy 300 dollars to completely restore the diesel harness because it was chopped up over the years. The hardest part to find was a 1980 through 86 bed it took me 4 months to find a rust free perfect bed for that truck then had to pay 700 dollars for it. It's on the road now completely restored to factory condition and using all true factory ford parts except for the vinyl floor mat that's aftermarket. I just love the sound of these IDI diesel's but I've learned 1 thing these 6.9 don't like hills. Have fun restoring yours. The prices of these idi trucks are on the rise. A rust free 1980s diesel core supports are IMPOSSIBLE to find I had to cut the bottom half of my diesel core off and weld it the the top portion of a gas core support. They don't make 1983 through 86 diesel core supports aftermarket anymore.

When is the next video man

Yeah don't put chevy parts in it ... it for sure won't run.😄

speaker wire from the 80's !!!!!!! fuckn minty !!!!!

Nothing like using a little consent in a can

I wonder how much that Jensen has played a Poison tape or Def Leopard heck maybe even G&R!!?

The intro killed me lol

Putting the supervisor to bed... LOL burnout kitty

Ixnay on the stacks... just needs a flatbed and a spot for the kitty cat to ride lol.

If you want that running good you’ll need propane injection and a turbo. Just saying. Those 7.3s are awesome with that.

This is awesome! Love watching

Hopefully that electric fuel pump is not hooked up and pushing fuel through the mechanical one.

I was looking for my cat when urs was meowing lmao

Good find

Wild seeing a 6.9 still running. All the trucks I know of have been swapped to 7.3 idi 10+ years ago

I’m missing both of mine 😢

Lmao VIP parking 😅

With IDI's you should NEVER use ether in conjunction with glow plugs. If a glowplug is hot and ether gets into the prechamber it can blow the chamber out and destroy the block deck. If you need to use ether make sure the glowplugs are disabled or leave the key on long enough for them to cool down. Always a good idea to spray ether onto the filter element to diffuse it and keep it from all going into one cylinder.

Why not just buy and injector seal kit ?

6:28 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 💪🤙

Cute.

“Rides like a covered wagon” 😆

Couple tips. Dont use the glow plugs with ether. If you gonna use ether leave the key on for a couple minutes until the glow plugs cycle then cool back down. I've seen ether and glow plugs mixed resulting in a blown apart intake manifold and I've heard stories of heads blown off. you didn't give it enough of a chance with out the ether. Also a idi will not fire off ether alone it needs fuel too so if your not getting smoke yet from the exhaust ether will only ether lock it (when it sounded like a gas engine with the timg too far advanced and you said that the batteries were low) but otherwise solid content

why is there 2 batteries? Am i stupid..?

These engines are known for lasting a long time- HOWEVER, ether or starting fluid can literally destroy them the first time you use it. It can blow the precups out of the head and into the cylinder

those 6.9s will run forever i had one and the only reason it quit on me was because it lost all compression

these idi's need a 12 volt fuel pump i got one its a must have

Ether is worst thing u can do to start a diesel

Hahahahaha you tighten that down. Smack smack smack smack smack 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love the channel going to be buying an idi soon

Whens the next vidya bud? INB4 this channel explodes with subs.

The problem with starting fluid, is that the diesel has no throttle blades, so most of the fluid evaporates immediately. I've found Ford IDIs like WD40!
