I have a 94 IDI also. Used to pull a 32 foot fifth wheel with it, had to put a big exhaust and a downpipe. Cold air intake. That's about it. Beautiful truck. Mine's of four by four with F450 added suspension. He is a stud.

This... is the real deal, the true truck. I love it !

Great truck! I was looking for a Dodge Cummins 12 valve or Ford IDI, because they have less electronics and are easy to repair on my own. I finally bought a 2nd gen Dodge Ram 3500 with a 12 valve Cummins with manual trans. But I would have bought an IDI like this too, if it was available.

Hi Ray, I love it....My Father-in-Law retired from Ford, so I follow Ford Like a religion...nothing but Fords in our driveway. I pull my camper with a 2000 7.3...very reliable...everyone says the 7.3 International engine was the best Ford ever used! While it is loud like a pea thrasher, it pulls my camper through the mountains and to the coast. While I only pull 5000 lbs with that SWR, I never know its back there! I dont mind the noise at all, afterrall its a diesel, I dont need to spend 50-70 k to be pampered! Since its a SWR I use a sway bar, but have contemplated converting it into a dually if I ever step up to a fifth wheel! I have 6 more years till I retire and that 2000 7.3 will carry me around the nation! Dont ever get rid of that gem! All the best!

I like your truck, a good solid diesel, as you said previously about power output being the only difference vs. todays trucks, it is a good investment to stay with late model trucks for many reasons. There are some great buys on old body style Fords and as an example I had a chance recently to purchase a 97 dually 2wd custom, the guy only used it in the summer and only to haul a boat short distances, it was not modified at all $15,000 I already own a 97 Powerstroke I will not give it up. Anybody looking to full time it or use their Trailer often I would recomend looking into older trucks it saves the bankbook and I believe better mileges and reliability than todays trucks. My 2 cents. Thanks for the great blogs.

The IDI are kind of pigs power-wise and I was near its max towing capacity so it ran very hot climbing the steep mountain grades. After towing steep parts of i15 out of Phoenix to Flagstaff one day it started making a loud knocking noise and leaking oil from blowby pressure. Later I found out my clutch fan was weak so that made it run even hotter than normal likely led to the failure. Anyway, I sold it off and bought a new Cummins Ram in 2018, and man night and day better power and love the exhaust brake makes towing the fiver a breeze. Can go up any grade as fast as I'd like with no overheating at all. :) But cost a pretty penny.

Towing in the mountains or wind or if I try to push the speed above 60 MPH it falls to 8, If I keep the RPM around 2000 and speed about 55 with no wind and a good road I'll see 12. Not towing it can vary from 14 -18 MPG depending how heavy my foot is and the speed, again once over 2000 rpm the fuel efficiently suffers. It has a E4OD auto tranny with 4.10 rear end. Not the most fuel efficient beast but very reliable.

Depends on the exact setup of the truck and your trailer GVWR. Dry weight isn't the one to go by as that's the weight it comes out of the factory at, it will likely be 1500-2000 lbs heavier once it's all loaded up for camping. Look at the tag on the inside of the driver's door and see what the trucks GCWR is. That's the Gross Combined Weight Rating and is the max both the truck and trailer can weigh. For instance, my trucks GCWR is 20,000 lbs. I've weighed the combo at the scales and I'm 16.500 combined weight with the truck coming in at around 7000 lbs. So you may be very close to max weight. Which may be fine if you live where its flat like in FLA, but in the western Rockies I think the truck would struggle going up the steep hills. mine does and our trailer is only 9500 lbs. Dry weight rated at 7200 Cheers, Ray

Why does everyone put the brake controller in the ONLY cubby hole in the entire cab?! *facepalm*

Out of the way and easy to reach if need to manually engage the brake slider.

Nice, but too bad it's not 4x4.

idi means its not a turbo.

The International Harvester IDI (from Indirect Injection) engine is a 4-stroke 8-cylinder Diesel engine used in International Harvester trucks, Ford F-Series pickups, and Ford E-Series vans from 1983 to 1994. The engine had two displacements: 420 cubic inches (6.9 litres), which was used in Ford trucks from 1983 until 1987, and 444 cubic inches (7.3 litres), which was used in Ford trucks from 1988 until 1994 (naturally aspirated) and in 1993 and 1994 (turbocharged) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Harvester_IDI

The NONtactiCOOL IDI means "Indirect Injection." In 1993-1994, Ford had an optional turbo for the IDI trucks. The exhaust was intentionally restrictive to give way to the up and coming PowerStroke, which had more power than its predecessor. But from '93-'94, these trucks came with an optional factory turbo.

Way to much for a useless IDI

joe bourdeau, I wouldn't dare say useless, as their truck gets them around just fine, and without an expensive repair bill. I'd say it's fulfilling a very useful duty. :)

They could be wired together to work in tandem. 2 2000W to make 4000W total. I was then able to run the RV air conditioner www.loveyourrv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Champion-2000-watts-generators-stacked.jpg
