yeah, they clog and damage the injectors in our trucks, no way to filter them out.

New or rebuilt injectors are not cheap...

i filtered mine down to 5 micron in my idi and then ran it threw 2 fl1a oil filters with magnets on the bottom of both and then threw the factory filter on the engine, my best advice is its not worth the savings in the long run expecialy in the di engine and i didnt just run all the tranny fluid i got it was only out of the vehicles that got tranny services done so it was still fairly good condition fluid, if there was fluid out of a blown up tranny or any fluid that came out of a vehicle that had any concern then it did not get put in my tank

Yeah. I'd run it in an IDI, just not a powerstroke.

Our injectors are just too... Picky.

IDI's are unstopable in some cases.

Lots of PSD guys I talk to miss their IDI, but they love their PSD more.

The other day, my buddy drove his grandpa's truck to my house. It was an old 6.9 IDI that he had bored 30 over. That thing is a beast. I raced him and whooped his butt, though, with my stock powerstroke.

Hahaha.

I think it was WOP who built up a 1000HP IDI.

I'd be scared of that sucker.
