Gotta love the old idi diesels, I do alot of videos about them.
Dude I’ve watched a bunch of your videos! What a trip. Thanks for stopping by and watching 👍
@HarrisT Any questions just ask, look forward to seeing what you do with the truck. Good buy.
My uncle has a 1987 F-250 4x4 stick shift with the 6.9L diesel. He always brags about how he pulled a semi out of the ditch with it!
Im a retired diesel mechanic . If you need any help ask me. If your located near bamberg sc i have a few of these trucks just parts to keep mine going.keep up the good work.
Sounds good! Thanks man!
Brakes went out on my old 90 f250, turns out it was the rubber grommet holding the vacuum tube into the brake booster. It was cracked bad from dry rot and lost all vacuum. Its was scary, but i got to stop. Changed the grommet and what ya know. My brakes were back! Great video, keep us posted!
That is a great tip. I’m definitely going to check that out next time I have a chance to work on it. Thanks man 🤙
One hell of a good deal. Great truck. Keep us updated on your build. Probably just fix the breaks and your good to go.
I’m excited to see how it turns out… hopefully no major issues in the future! Thanks for watching man!
What gear ratio do you have
Good job, my starter just quit in my 85 idi truck so I’m getting ready to order it. Thanks also for the trick to start the truck doing the jumper in the selenoid. Did not know that!!!👏👍👋
Glad it was helpful! Getting ready to record part 4 today 👍
Great job on The Start Up !"
Inheirted an 4wd 84 F250 Bull Nose Dually from my uncle passed ,
A 6.9 that hasnt ran for decade.
Your vid has given me New Hope & Faith !"
😁👍Thank you Friend !"
Make your uncle proud! From what I can tell these things are pretty bulletproof so you shouldn’t have too much of an issue 👍
Automatic thumbs up for the intro music!!!
appreciate you getting the camera in position to film starter replacement!
Stay tuned! Got another video in the works
I have an 87 and Love it ! THANK YOU for your videos !
I am having the exact same issue on my IDI.
Yes it has a clutch switch. So you will have to push the clutch pedal in.
My 84 6.9idi I don't use the clutch to turn my truck on I believe the trucks with the t19 didn't come with clutch switch or maybe got bypass. Plus he turn the truck on without pressing the clutch when he jumped the starter
I know the 5 speed zf5 has a clutch switch
I guess the group 31 post batteries worked. That’s all we ever bought for road tractors and they are cheaper or less expensive. Thanks for the info, I’ll measure first but good call.
They fit great! Only in the bullnose apparently though. Stay tuned 👍
Never Stop Making Videos 😊😊😊😊😊
Great video congratulations
Impressive!!
How long did it sit and did you drain out the fuel tanks? I just bought a 97 f250 7.3 that sat for 2 years and debating draining fuel out of tanks. Started up just fine after a new starter.
Haven't drained the tanks yet but it seems to run fine on the old fuel. This truck definitely needs new fuel tanks though -- these are apparently rusty on the inside according to the previous owner
My brother also had the 1997 F-250 Power stroke diesel in the early 2000's. I remember him always saying between his buddies that they were notorious for the camshaft position sensor going bad, where it were start and then the engine would shut off right away. They are getting to be pretty rare trucks now. For nostalgia last year he bought himself a 1995 Power Stroke diesel and loves it!
Great engine sound 😂
I have never seen anyone grease the face of where the starter mounts to.
I’ve replaced a few starters and never done it before either. In my mind I was hoping that it was tacky enough to keep the starter in place while I got the bolts started. Not really a lubrication thing
Did you ever figure out why you couldn’t start with the key?
Bad starter solenoid. Check out my other videos 👍 stay tuned
Looks like the 800 pound gorilla was in charge of the torque wrench.
How did you find a $500 f250
A little luck 😂 stay tuned
Every place I look at it trucks are $10k $20k $40k
Sounds like the starter is sticking
Its working good now! Check out the other videos!
Would you sell it
Maybe once it’s fixed up! I still have some plans for it though…
Qwantwz hp??
170, according to google
You could have saved alot by buying used batteries
I spend so much on batteries for all my stuff. Haven’t found a good used source yet
@@HarrisTautozone and oreillys are my go to. Used battery’s behind the counter. Just gotta ask
@@HarrisT I actually made a video for how to revive old bad batteries that have been dead for years. I haven't had to buy a battery in years!
