My 85 6.9 sat for almost ten years. After some fuel line fixed, brake lines that rusted and some body grounds cleaned it started like it was sitting for a few months. Now it’s in my main fleet making money hauling rock since it’s a dump body. Starts on third revolution every time if you use the glow plugs

Thats awesome. My 94 7.3 turbo starts like clockwork even if it sits for a few weeks. Have to stop myself from using it as a work truck again.

Respect for both the 6.9 & 7.3 idi. Have experience with both.

these IDI diesels smell very distinct from the other modern day engines on the roads. I’ll smell one before I see one always

The uncultured think it is the stinkier diesel. They dont understand its pureness compared to today.

That diesel idle is a beautiful sound. Never too late to get another!

Yeah I had a 6.9l and it towed fine NA 14,000lbs, 16,000lbs, and even a guy grossing 34,000lbs with no issues and as fast as a freightshaker pulling. Sorry but the idi is better
