computer curious

Does the 1986 6.9 have a computer to monitor the engine or any other functions?

Computer

No.

Computers or solid state controllers did not show up in these trucks until the introduction of the E4OD transmission in 1989.

Computers for Diesel Engine control did not start till the 1994 model year.

I love my 93' 5 speed, not a computer to be found if you don't count the solid state controller for that crappy ABS Brake system that was never designed right in the first place.

Seb.....

Great. I am a newbie to the diesel engines and not having to worry about a eec (computer) going bad is good news.

I think the glow plug controller is the closest thing to a computer on your truck.
