Just getting into the idi scene and wanted to see if anybody lives close to me. It would be cool to find someone locally that could help each other with idi projects. I live close to St. Louis.

 

20 miles west of 270 on 30. welcome to the unending project of owning an IDI.:-)

 

St.Clair, Mo. 45 min. West of the Louis on I44.

 

I'm in Farmington which is about an hour south of stl.

 

Skates and Rocket, when did you acquire your IDI and whats been done to it?

 

Just got my idi a month or two back. Made sure the coolant was up to par, changed the glow plugs over to motorcrafts, cleaned the cdr valve, been working on removing the ugly decals the original owner put on. Just ordered a dp, plan to add some gauges, change the injectors and IP. I bought it to tow a camper when I find a good deal but have been bitten by the idi bug big time. Would love to change over to a manual and make it 4 wheel drive.

 

A fresh IP and injectors will make a big difference. That was my first order of business when I took over the truck 2 years ago, though I've driven this truck since it was brand new. I also tossed the stock air intake and filter, cobbled together my own using an Amsoil cone filter, pvc fittings and a length of 4inch flue pipe. 3inch exhaust from the Y with a magnaflow muffler. You may see me down your way occasionally,I'll be headed to the scout camp with my son and I have family between Farmington and St.Gen.

 

I'm down around that area all the time. I grew up in Ste Gen and a lot of my family is from the Weingarten area. My family also has a bit of property out that way. I would love to see your truck and maybe get some more insight on mine.
