On the other hand, building a 6.9 (like Dave Sponaugle's) to the point that it will smoke just about any new oil burner on the street - now that is REALLY cool, and rare enough that it NEVER looses its cool factor.
Plus it keeps the truck all FORD - the way it was meant to be

Not really, since the motor is made by international. But, it is keeping it the way it was meant to be.

the thing i can never fathom is the people that say it is cheaper to do a cummins conversion than replace the 6.9 or 7.3 ????
the adapters alone are between $1800 and $2500, then you still need to source an engine.
i can get a low mileage 7.3 for under $1500 from the salvage yards here.
a cummins 5.9 24 valve runs around $5-6 grand, and that is for a high mileage engine.

as per the 88 book, axle code 65 is a 4.10 geared 8250 lb capacity sterling 10.25 rear axle.
88 does not have a trans code "C", so i can not help you with that. is it an automatic, or stick??
