My '94 IDI Turbo is one of my favorite trucks. AND it'll blow the doors off of a first gen Powerstroke. It's straight piped and THE BEST sounding diesel EVER! And I'm a CUMMINS NUT.😊 Put a Holley RED pump on it, BYPASS the factory lift pump. WAY easier to prime the system, especially after changing fuel filter(s). International IDIs will NOT start unless you have a functioning glow plug system or plug in the block heater. I don't care if it's 90 degrees outside. Starting fluid KILLS these things. The glow pluds (if they're working) can ignite it and fire all of the cyliders at one time. It can break rings and give it that lopey starting noise your getting due to low compress from those broken ring cyliders etc.

International Harvester IDI (from Indirect Injection) engine is a four-stroke diesel V8 engine used in International Harvester school buses, trucks, Ford F-Series pickups, and Ford E-Series vans from the 1983 to 1994 model years. The engine was built in two displacements: 420 cubic inches (6.9 L), which was used in Ford trucks from 1983 until 1987, and 444 cubic inches (7.3 L), which was used in Ford trucks from 1988 until 1994 (naturally aspirated) and in 1993 and 1994 (turbocharged).

That's a newer '99 up Super Duty axle/wheel that's hub centric. STUCK on the register.

My dream truck

Not sure about those rear hubs but those rear calipers are on the the wrong side which is why the bleeder screws were at the top. It should be at the bottom which means the left side needs to be put on the right side.

This is true.

The rear axle has been replaced with one from a newer truck. I could tell the second I saw that hub

Without watching the rest of the video, the newer Ford wheels and disc brakes in the back make me wonder if someone did an axle swap at some point to Super Duty axles

@tcfinds

Yep. Someone did

That pinging sound is either knock. Aka too much starting fluid

Vacuum pump is thst sound u hear and the rear I probably 8x170 and put a 4 inch exhaust on it will sound good and put a bit of atv in the tank will lube Injectors so no knocking

Might be a mid year of 93 if it has a turbo, 94 I think was the only time the idi 7.3 had a turbo. Pretty rare to see them now. That rear end is out of an 2005 and newer superduty, they're actually wider than even the 99-04's and is the reason the hub looks so short on it. I wonder if they planned on doing the front coil spring dana 60 front axle set up as well? And with the reliability of the ole idi that would be a sweet rig
