idi still working



This is the truck of the place next door to me. They have had it as long as i remember. I used to go a daycare right next to the furniture place that owns this and they had it even then. Ironic as that is up the street from where i live now. Anyway they use this thing from time to time, it has a turbo too. They have gone through two other trucks while i have lived next door and still have this one, it takes duty when the other ones break. Last year some kids busted the front window so i don't see it as much. Before that it rested in a small lot next to this building. It's a f350 drw chassis cab 2wd.

I would say something about how great they are but my truck always seems to have a problem after I talk it up.

I dont think it will ever die, my brother committed the sin of buying a chevy, and he talks so much crap about my IDI. I tell him it will outperform you in the long run. Then he remembers what he grew up in the back of....a 1986 Ford F-250 6.9 IDI

The city here still has a dozen IDI's in service!

Only 1 bricknose left though, all others are 92+.

U-haul here also still has a bunch of older IDI's in service, and lot of other companys to!
