Ford F834 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This is a 1986 F250 4x4 T19 with a 6.9 diesel. It is being sold by Justin Anderson of IDI performance. He posted it on the IDI Facebook group but it is a closed group so I doubt anyone here could see it. He came into this truck via horse trading and has gone through all the usual problem spots. He is asking $4500 obo. Before you jump and say that’s too high, this is a clean PNW truck with 133K miles. Justin pulled the engine and replaced the head gaskets and installed ARP head studs. He also upgraded the rocker arms to the stronger 7.3 style. It has fresh injectors, injection pump, lift pump, filter, fuel return lines, glow plugs, glow plug controller, relay and batteries. The rubber is good. Justin is a straight shooter and this would not leave his shop without being in top mechanical condition. If you want a diesel without all the usual headaches this is actually a great deal. It is ready to rock as-is and could handle a turbo up to ~20 psi if you wanted to go further with it. If it does not sell it will end up going to his dad which should say something right there.

Gary Lewis Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nice truck. And $4,500 isn't bad at all since that is a lot of truck with no problems. But, what is a PNW truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I guess that acronym flys around on Facebook more than it does here... I shouldn’t be lazy. Reminds me of this grumpy cat funny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford F834 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Ill take the Bronco Please The brown brick nose in the background? Yeah, I don’t think that one is for sale, below is a picture of the engine he has in it... unofficially it is in the 500-600 hp range and ~1,200 tq. We will see where it lands when the tuning is done. We will probably see at H4H this summer (hunting for horsepower event). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford F834 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Wow! He got all of that under the hood? What tranny can hold up to that? What axles? He has a wide ratio ZF-5 in it right now, but the 13” southbend clutch slips a little in 5th. It has the stock D44 TTB up front, and a Sterling 10.25 semi float in the back with custom 5 lug axles replacements. It’s pretty crazy in the dirt drags.

Hopefully the ZF is the S47, but there's really only 50 more ft-lbs of capability over the S42, so I'm not sure that matters much. And, I hope he has the long-pinion Sterling in it, like Big Blue does. I'll bet that thing can turn whatever tires you can put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I hope he has the long-pinion Sterling in it, like Big Blue does. I'll bet that thing can turn whatever tires you can put on it. I’m pretty sure it’s “only” a S42 version ZF, and it’s definitely a newer Sterling since it’s semi float. I don’t think the ZF will last indefinitely behind that kind of power, but the first engine he had in there was ~450 hp 900 tq. on stock compression and water meth injection. It had the standard NA connecting rods and he bent them and sent one through the block. The ZF did not break. Maybe having a clutch that slips a little in 5th is a good thing as far as transmission longevity. I know he is definitely going down the road of built E4OD’s now though...
