WELCOME to the NJ Chapter and post often.

 

Names matt christensen, pleasure to meet you all. I'm 18 years old and have been into the IDI's since I was 10 years old when my dad got our familys 90' 7.3 IDI n/a. Sadly rust took her, but I got my own beast to work on now! An 86' 6.9l.

I'm probably the oddest type of red-neck there is, I love computers, and I love working with my hands, may it be diesel engines, or carpentry. I am thinking about majoring in a career in diesel mechanics for international type motors...stuff.

I hate most people my age because of the maturity gap, and the terrible ideals and music(damn liberals and good god the music these days). I'm the type of person that wont give up even when hopes gone, like when I tried to save the family's old 7.3l.

I am a die hard ford fan, will not drive anything but american made vehicles. And will probably run a IDI till theres no more oil to burn in the world

I am a computer programmer and a novice diesel mechanic...very novice I enjoy muddin and rock crawling and tinkering.

So thats a little bit about me, hope you guys get to know me better over the years! Lord knows I'm not leaving!

 

Matt, welcome to the NJ chat thread, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do, you'll need a sense of humor to hang around us, have fun, Gigger

 

Thanks guys, by Any chance any one live in sussex county that could come help me round out a price and what it would take to start doing the body work on my 86? pm me if you got time Friday the 9th.

 

Matt, we have a group of guys that have GTG's in your back yard in Vernon. It's the N.E.S.T. group, they usually post in the 7.3 forums, I have attended all but a couple of the GTG's, being the token gasser...lol

 

N.E.S.T? And which 7.3 forums

 

Sorry, it's North East Seven Three's, here is the link from last weeks GTG in Vernon...

Anyone know what I have to do for inspection in new jersey for a 6.9l idi. I heard there exempt from emissions. Beyond that I have no idea. Any info would be great!

 

NJ only does emission inspection as a whole, but if your registered for 8501 GVW it's self inspection.

Anyone know of a good transmission shop, or a scrap yard/pull-apart around north jersey area? The C6 took a crap on me. So I'm looking at my options.

 

Try PM'ing rat49f6, he is in Vernon and might know some places.

 

Well the old girl is getting scrapped. Getting a mint condition 1980 chevy impala 305.....I've gone to the dark side

 

Still give Jim a jingle, he might be able to help you out with the OBS.

 

Yea the scrapper is on his way, no going back now, found out it had a crack in the block and the head gaskets where done. Trucks FUBAR. the impala is nice though owned by a 90 year old women just needs valve cover gaskets.
