Saving A 1985 F250 6.9 IDI 4X4

Truck is a gem. A mint 1985 F250 extendo cab, 4 speed, 4 wheel drive, diesel. Video did not turn out too good I had problems with my SD card for camera. I had a walk around and check out intro but lost it. I made due with my pocket computer.
She has sat for 5 years we had it very easy because brakes work and clutch felt good. The old gal just needs a good bath, cleaning, some tinkering and she will be a awesome truck again.
Thanks for watching!

What is that knocking sound, misfire?
Good to see a nice video of one of these running, I have one myself.

That knocking sound sounds to me like an exhaust valve guide is going bad. If you crack open the injectors one by one you will find the culprit cylinder. I screwed up the motor in my ‘83 by not listening to someone that told me exactly what it was and it dropped the exhaust valve over time. Idk if the motor is ruined yet or not but I do have another one to put into it and will be paying very close attention to things like this from now on.

I need that sun visor in my life.
