1992 7.3 IDI 4x4 $1000 good deal?

[Strokewitpower]

I found a 7.3 IDI the guy wants $1000 for he was asking $1500 but he came down. He says it runs thinks it needs an o-ring in one injector and some minor little things like locking hubs and radio. I have always owned the PSD 7.3 and know little about these IDI's but this seems like a good deal with some paint and a little wrenching should be a good truck. Whats this cavitation? I tried searching it to research but nothing informational. How can I tell if this truck has it?

ya its a deal and really is iif its a f350 as the front alone is worth the $1000

Ya good buy. Not gonna be a powerhouse like the PSD, they just never were. But reliable, and decent pullers if you don't mind taking it slow.

I am getting the truck cause I just got rid of my F350 and bought a jetta (much better on mpg and I am commuting a great distance) However, I need a truck to load the dogs up and go hunting, picking up lumber and things of that nature so I think I can get this truck put some money in a paint and in the engine and tires wheels get it looking half way decent and have a nice little truck. You mentioned being a little slow. Surely it would help to put on a turbo. How do these older trucks react to a turbo kit? If anyone knows.

They love turbo's. For the price, I would pick it up. Hell you could probalby make most of your money back in scrap prices

Like he said, the difference is unbelievable. Do that, hypermax or ATS, or even a used banks work fine. Do an exhaust, (straight pipe is preferred, but louder and also not emissions friendly always) or get a good open muffler. Make yourself a good homemade intake, turn up that IP and put a pyro in the cab, good to go!

For a 1000 bucks I'd buy and use It for daily driver or a work truck. These are great trucks and tough as nails.
