My first idi

i just picked this up yesterday. after a long late night drive. thanks to 91dirtydiesel. Its a 1984 F250 4x4 XLT. 6.9 ATS Turbo. 4 speed manual. And a retarded stack. which we be off soon. definitely not perfect but i really like it. it came with some extra heads, injectors, injection pump, intake, and It came with most of a Banks Turbo kit (which is for sale if anyone wants it). All for $2600. Let me know what ya guys think!

its runnin great. got 15mpg with leaky injectors and shot pump. UPDATE: took off the big gay stack. welded up a nice 4 inch straight pipe with 5inch tip. got new gauges with pillar pod. got new injectors, return lines and pump. runs wayyyy better. had to let out of it cuz the boost was gettin to high(waste gate plugged) could only hit 12lbs of boost before and now i hit 14lbs and had to back out. power steering gear box was leakin. bout a re seal kit. all fixed now. took off the rice burner plastic intake and put on a 4inch intake with 6637 filter. all and all a good weekend.

next mod dana 60 and 2 inch lift

Nice set up, Wish my truck would have come with a ats 093 kit instead of the 088, but when it comes free you cant be picky. i wish i had the pic of the SS intake my did tig welded up for his 093 kit.

Keep us updated on your progress.
