Best 6.9 diesel EVER!!!!!!

[@OBS_Ford_Diesels_Inc]

Sounds like my 86 f350 4x4. It's got a 6.9 that's been completely rebuilt. Except it doesn't smoke like yours. You guys have some seriously cool diesels. Keep the vids coming, they're usually quite entertaining

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

it probably doesn't smoke like this, because this engine is messed up, we've been rebuilding it and it actually had a blown injector. and this still ran haha.

[@OBS_Ford_Diesels_Inc]

Yeah that's pretty bad. Maybe that injector was why it sounded like it was loping at first. We used to have a 87 f250 4x4, 4 speed manual. In it's last days it smoked like that blue truck. Was in our family since 1988, had around 450,000 miles when we retired it. Everything was original, except clutch and rear leaf springs. Had the heads rebuilt with new gaskets. It sure took an awful lot of abuse over it's life but still ran when we junked it

1:34 rolling coolant

[@kaulincurtis9665]

Looks more like motor oil lol

[@trashman1694]

Probably both lol

[@carterbowe9964]

[@Whatdayawanttodowithyourlife]

How dare you

[@sherinbv]

Beautiful countryside. Love the truck.

[@kleetus92]

Miss ours... I learned on an 86 6.9 4 speed 4x4 4.10 gears. I know that sound all too well. Had the pump turned up to run with the 7.3's of the day worked great until about 110k miles and the middle bank of cylinders wanted to go for a walk... That was their weak link, needing that special additive shit to keep cavitation down on the cylinder walls in the water jacket.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

yup thats the killer of those 7.3's

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

I've owned a 6.5 a 24 v Cummins but recently got a odd ball 1988 f250 6.9/c6 4wd combo most 88 had a 7.3. buy far my favorite diesel rn.

[@oskar-vz2vh]

Wow that truck is awesome man I just bought a 84 f250 6.9idi like 5 days ago and can't stop looking out the window looking at it lol I Mainly bought it for Hauling livestock I know they are underpowered to today's diesels but I dont care 6.9s engines have a good reputation and love the sound of them. Cool truck man

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

yeah, as long as it has been taken care of it will run for ever. ( that goes for most engines really) but they are very stout engines

[@jedk9523]

this and the 12 valve are the best sounding pickup truck diesel motors

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

Agreed!

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

We had used a bunch of starting fluid, that's what the knocking was.

[@alexwood99]

This Guy's Stuff and Stuff ether knock is a pain

[@jared3543]

Man I miss my old 6.9, smoked just like that. Not a race truck but never left me walking.

[@JBPalmer]

I’m just impressed the reback lights work

[@jacobyoung3102]

Wish that was my truck

[@andymalicki7202]

Jake Young me 2!

[@michaelbergen4275]

Smokin like a 2 stroke

[@skeggjoldgunnr3167]

I know a guy that earns about a million annually. His present truck is a 1976 ford F-150 I think. It's so ratty and has had panels, bed, cab, engine, transmission from so many other trucks swapped on that it's hard to tell. It's reached the point again on it's present 6 cylinder motor that I don't think it can handle yet another trip up north wisconsin for clearing land again. He always knew what was best for long lasting tough rugged service. But he always demolishes a bed and a fender on each tree clearing / boulder removal weekend of work. The stacks of leafs in the springs, the reinforcements welded here and there...The heavy axles..."it just doesn't look like a truck anymore today...I think this is it for the old girl - I think you've wrung out all the work she had in 'er." I said. So he said "Find me a new truck then." I located a Chevy 2500HD Duramax turbodiesel with 5 sp allison trans, 4x4, extended cab at a dealer 30 - some miles away. We went n got it. He wanted a place to set his big coffee mug. He opened the tool box on the work truck, grabbed a framing hammer and chopped a pocket into the soft cushiony fancy pretty dashboard right there at the dealer. Sat his coffee mug into there. Then he floored it and left. That truck was a pile of crap. It sits unused and unloved.

[@munklikescheese9507]

Nice truck!! Love the old IDI/6.9 and 7.3's. Getting harder to find. Nice country - what part of WA you guys in??

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

yeah it's beautiful around here, just central WA, i don't really disclose locations

[@RoostaIRL]

4 mins in it seems to be fine, so from what i can gather its got an oil leak in a valve guide seal or something thats letting oil into the pots while its sitting

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

at the start yes, but it burns oil constantly we are going to rebuild it anyway

[@conwaysdetailing387]

It would make my day to hang out with you guys lol

[@P7777-u7r]

The body is in such good shape for this body style that it would be worth fixing up

[@chrisrozhdestvensky1034]

1:48 drive it like you stole it

[@AaronBilger]

perfect farm truck

[@just_brett199]

Get a cord with the 6.9l has a sidewinder kit on it very happy lol when I get it

[@octavioescott1022]

“Wow that is Nocky” No- that what a diesel is supposed to sound like.

[@UnderSprayedWhiteSkies]

I am considering buying an '84, F250, odometer shows 54K and change, not sure if it's 154, 254, 354, etc. Has standard cab, 4spd manual trans, 4WD; body/frame are completely rust free, but body has some minor dings/scratches, duel fuel tanks, heavy duty headache rack, and tailgate is MIA. Windshield is badly cracked, and top/center of dash has a 6, or 7 inch diameter hole (??), stock wheels/tires. Seller said he last started it a couple years ago, but it needs new glow plugs. He wants $1000 for it, but I would offer much less. Engine/engine bay has typical, layers of caked-on, crud. Please, do you think it's worth salvaging/resurrecting as a firewood truck, and occasional car hauler? I watched your 6.9L engine rebuild videos, to get an idea of the parts expense, but if you mentioned it, I missed it. Please can you list all the parts, parts' costs for your 6.9L rebuild? Thanks from AZ.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

honestly unless it is burning oil or has lots of white smoke. the engine is fine and worth at least 500 for it alone. Depends on the trany and the rest of the drive train, but 1000 isn't bad. If it isn't running righ now i'd say that a good offer woud be 500 to 800 depending if you can start it and drive it. And a 6.9 will run on 7 cylinders and still pull a trailer, albeit slowly. The one in the video was running on 7 cylinders most of the time. a slandered rebuild is 1,100 -1,200. The more expensive one will come with the cam shaft, rod barings, crank shaft barings, cam barings, lifters, push rods, and ARP head studs i belive. honestly, one reason why i like 6.9's is that they can be beat to hell, but still work. Even if its on it's last legs it will still do everything you need it to.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

the one we got was 1,500 actually from northern auto parts

[@ginomartinelli2095]

i love this grizzly yeahhhh!

[@tirowiec440]

Hey that 6.9 sounds cool. Especially at 3:55 Does it have original exhaust or is it somehow modified?

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

yup OG exhaust, just cut off half way down the truck, these engines sound great straight pipped, same with 6.2"s

[@tirowiec440]

Thanks. Gonna do the same thing in my IDI.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

nice, this wasn't permanent, so make sure you angle the exhaust at least down or out of the truck, exhaust isn't the best for the undercarriage hahah

[@myalaskalife5837]

My 1990 well be up soon

[@tylerbonser7686]

you must not have been in doubt because you only yellow lined it out

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

what you mean?

[@tylerbonser7686]

The yellow line on the tach. Usually 500 rpms before ride line. Just saying she could have taken a few more revs bud.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

oh ok, the terminology just seemed weird, yeah sure there was more left in her, but she is really tired and old too

[@P7777-u7r]

When in doubt redline it out. Minty!

[@justinsellars5819]

Better do something about all that coolant the combustion chamber

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

nah...i think its fine

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

P.S. this is the motor that we rebuilt

[@christopherd2100]

"I'll give you a hint of what it smells like... It smells like diesel exhaust, but like burnt and oily... NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

haha, it smelt so so bad, i just couldn't put it to words

[@christopherd2100]

This Guy's Stuff and Stuff Ya I've been hit with that smell on a few occasions, it makes yo' eyes water. But I love 'em all the same, just needed a good laugh you know?

[@andymalicki7202]

Dam I wana take this thing for a spin!

[@robbam5568]

Hey yours still runs I can't get mine to run bc it has been parked sees 2009

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

should still be fine, these things run like shit their hole life, but they just keep going. check the injectors, also might need a new injection pump.

[@linkedmoo_man]

If it ain't starting, you ain't using enough ether. Lol

[@GSKYYT]

hows she going these days?

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

We tore the engine out of this one and rebuilt it. On the channel you'll see the rebuild videos. We put this into the "Brown Sponge"

[@Smokey298]

A true Jem

[@claudiocarbone2225]

1:43 when you stole a cool parked car in GTA🤣 BTW if you fix this beast it can still kicks ass

[@jefflarue3965]

Sweetassride

[@robbam5568]

Well if it needs a new injectorpump I will just sell the truck bc that thing here is a $1000 and the cheepis I have seen it was $500

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

just depends if you want to keep the truck, it's old, and what they need is more involved maintenance, but once you do that, there's another 30 years of service!

[@Reece634]

thats a real diesel fuck powerstrokes i want international

[@luciankristov6436]

Murdered piston rings for days bois

[@keepinitgreasy7462]

Just fuckin minty

[@sethgrimsley8569]

more interested in the duce and a half

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

there are videos of it on my page

[@jaydenlee4886]

That shit is loud

[@2ndspingarage]

My 7.3l only smokes that bad at full throttle

[@freedom24v86]

sexy sound sad bout the shape whats the miles bet there high

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

owner said 600,000 buuuuuuuuuuuuuut i don't see a 6.9 running that long, i love these old things, but come on....they have limits. i would assume around 300,000

[@freedom24v86]

This Guy's Stuff and Stuff meh... ive had quite a many 6.9s last that long. lol as long as there maintained well they last pretty long ive seen many last to the 1 mill miles mark. ao i could see 600k just fine plus who would lie about that many miles? most would rather say that it has "29k original miles " because of the 5 digit odometer

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

thats very true, but this engine had all stock parts, im not so sure a hole lot had been replaced. i mean it did have oil running out of the exhaust port on cylinder eight. im not sure it was " well taking care of"

[@collint608]

my 85 6.9 will be up in a month lol 15 k engine being put in her

[@MrMihail1989]

Detroit?

[@christopherd2100]

That's a gm company. Ford used international harvester/navistar diesels up till the 6.4. The current 6.7 is designed and built in house.

[@danielmeyer4515]

Drive it like you stole it for a couple ours it might clear out

[@EragonSuperM]

Misfiring?

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

yes, it has quite a bit of miles on her

[@robbam5568]

Ok well what do you think it's worth and there is no rust

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

depending upon mileage, i'd say easily 3-5 G's. but i have seen utter peaces of shit sell for 5000, so if it's in good shape and runs, you can make some money. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut i have seen a few "rusto mods" go for 10,000

[@robbam5568]

I no

[@pcimage100]

Change ur oil
