Currently running a 1985 6.9 with 130k miles N/A...it's bone stock, although the power increased when the muffler rusted off

What, no option for 5.9 w/ turbo and air-to-air? Hey, it is a Ford, and it is a diesel, and it is at least partially mine, so it must count, right? It better count, me gave up half the rights to my Jeep-thing for it!!!

Also, Joe, last time me checked, sneaking in and adding a turbo to someone's n/a truck is considered anything but evil

I traded a 97 chevy, extended cab 4x4 with 63,000 to my dad for his 87 6.9 Ford, turbo with 72,000 last year. Dad and mom are getting older and mom was having a hard time getting into the Ford. The chev is lower plus has the OEM side steps and grab bar. Picked up the chev because it was only 10 yrs old, special ordered and driven by an old guy (82 when I bought) looked new inside and out, silverado package plus a $3,000 appearance package. The original paper work showed a price of $33,000 and change. Paid $6,000 in 2007.

Still have the 5.9 cummins/turbo in the 86 so that counts towards a TURBO right?
