Here is my 1985 rollback. She is a 17' aluminum Century bed F350 6.9 idi. Super low miles at 66k. The gentleman who owned it before me admittedly gave up on trying to get her running after a normal breakdown (if there is such a thing haha), so it has been sitting nine years. I am thinning a few wires and things from under the hood. Rear most solenoid on ip sounds good, but front solenoid on ip does not move. The ip is sealed with a wire on the back so I don't think it's ever been opened. I'll open it up and then start posting my questions (after searching of course).

Welcome!

IDI's are incredibly reliable and simple.

Please start a thread down in the main forum with your questions and we'll see how the forum can help.

Something I'm a little familiar with., and you might be the perfect person to help another member with a Super Duty chassis that is looking for some information about the fuel tanks in his bucket truck.

Yes, welcome! Glad you joined.

Hope you'll post some pics of your truck, but you may want to read the page at Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's on that subject as it isn't the easiest.

Speaking of pages, we have a map at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map and we can add you with a city/state or zip.

I swear I read the New User info haha. Tried my best to upload a couple pictures. I'll try again. Here's to hoping my wrenching skills are better than my computer skills!

ETA: Would try jumping the FSS directly before I went tearing into the injection pump.

With that low miles I cant see the IP needing to be opened.

I know when the Ford ID and even the GM 6.2 when used in tow trucks and such the pumps would need a rebuild about 75K give or take how often the filter was changed.

You also have to look at how hard they were driven. I got about 100K on my 6.2 but I did service when it had to be done.

The FSS is stuck. Bumping it with 12v only led to sparking and no movement or clicking. I did take the top off and the bowl is filled with clear diesel. I guess I really need to start a thread in a more appropriate area.
