That's pretty much it. I've never seen a 6.9l. The earliest of diesel trucks I ever dealt with were the 7.3IDIs. Does anyone have pics @ different angles of their 6.9? I'd just like to learn more about it. :thumb:

It looks almost identical to the 7.3 IDI

Yeah, I thought that I read that the 7.3 is just a punched out 6.9 :dunno:
When was the 1st year they came out with the 6.9? Was there a 'transition' year where you could buy either a 6.9 or 7.3?

Basically, with some other minor changes.

They look the same, some things are in different locations but all in all they are the same beast.

I will get some of mine and throw them up there for you to see, though I have a different intake then most :thumb::woot:

man that oil fill neck is like WAY better than the 7.3 idi
i hate it i hate it and i hate it

what would determine the engine size
and if the 6.9 is basically the same , that means the cylinders are the same size

wasnt that in 89 where you could get both 6.9 or 7.3
88 was the first year to get the 7.3

we have an 88 with a 90 idi in it

thank god they came out with turbos on these diesels. I used to drive/ride in an old ford work truck to school every day. It was the 6.9 and what a slug. It would pull things but as far as speed or even being able to take off and not slow the traffic behind you... forget it! I think i remember it topped out at 75 and that was WOT for about 2 minutes in a straight line. Wouldnt budge. It ran forever though. I still see it around this area sometimes cruising around the vineyards. Im sure it has well over 300k.

a 7.3 is basicly a 6.9 bored out. But you cant bore out a 6.9 and expect to throw in 7.3 internals in it. I cant remeber the reason why but a local diesel machine shop operator told me that.
