Selling my '88 7.3 idi

Hey guys I am selling my 7.3 idi. I am in Utah but willing to deliver anywhere with possibly a little help on diesel cost.

Here is the link to the classified thread. Thanks!

your going to sell your dads truck because of the wife!
might be time to trade in the wife instead.
sorry to hear that man.that's going to be missed and you'll be full of regrets forever.
tell her we won't let you sell it!

Put it up for sale at a ridiculous price, that no one would pay for it, and after a few months, tell the wife it ain't selling, that your stuck with it


Bullet proof plan

I'm with DieselJohn. Also, worst case senario, you can wreck one of your other cars so you'll have to keep the truck to get around. Even more bulletproof than jacking up the price.

I am with john on this one as well...get rid of the powerjoke.....the prices match the name...great engine...too expensive for my taste.....trade that Powerstroke in for something less expensive to run...even if you gotta do some mods to the IDI....like...crew cab it and short box it....its gutting what these are meant to do....but it will please the wife...especially with less than 100 k....

Your truck is exactly what mine is! 88 F-250 4x4, reg cab longbed, red color, 7.3 & ZF-5, 4.10 gears. My dad was also the source for mine (I inherited it from him). Mine has only slightly more miles (115K) and it has an ATS turbo added.

I have to agree with the rest, sell your other truck and keep the good running and cheaper IDI if you can.
