This 31K Mile 1993 Ford F350 OBS 7.3 IDI Diesel Dually was the Last Great Mechanical Diesel Truck

- There's no question that turbos and advanced electronics made diesels more potent in the horsepower and torque department, but there's something to be said for a true all-mechanical diesel. The 7.3 IDI from International Harvester (or Navistar by 1993) is widely considered to be a benchmark for pickup and medium-duty truck engines, and is legendary amongst diesel enthusiasts for being long lived, reliable, and simple to keep going.
This is a 1993 Ford F350 DRW - the last to use a naturally aspirated 7.3 IDI. It's a rare find, having been kept in air conditioned storage since new, and driven sparingly by it's one prior owner. Most of these trucks worked very hard for a living - this one had a very soft life.

Listen to those doors open and close. Love that classic solid truck sound!!
Why cranks in the rear doors though?
When vehicles were built right and solid and pickups were bare bones man I wish vehicles were the same as they used to be
@@mattbartolovich8228 trucks were kinda bare bones back then power windows mirrors and locks were fancy and cd players were kinda fancy back then they didn't quite get power rear windows till 94 or 95
Hi again buddy lolol
ford always have good solid doors at lest till door slammers get to it .
That's not a truck, it's a time machine. Even the music out of the radio was on point...
Nah the music should’ve been Alice In Chains or Nirvana to fit the time period. Lol
@@Lamtitude METALLICA
I took a gas 351 Windsor out and put in a diesel 7.3 1993 model five speed I need to know how to check out the motor
0:36 I also took to the 7.3 other than 93 Ford
Out of a93 ford
This belongs in a museum.
You won't see one like this again.
Yeah, I’d feel bad abt towing with this. This belongs in a Museum not on the road away from morons on their phones.
Noo,it should be illegal to keep car in this good condition. Cars are meant to be driven,especially trucks.
I have a 94 f350, manual trans mint like this but the old 90s green color. Video going up soon. It’s extremely clean like this.
That is pure unadulterated 'Americana' ... a beautiful truck ... the best of it's kind A++
I’d pay the money for that truck any day before I buy a new truck, no def, no electric bull crap just a truck
@@jackj5368 So does acid rain, which is what non-DEF diesels cause in large dense cities. That's why in most rural areas you don't have to pass emissions (thank god), because we don't have fifty cars or trucks per block idling at red lights. As such, we don't get acid rain, and DEF no longer matters
Yep my 2015 and 2017 6.7s were total junk
Well, there’s pros and cons to buying a newer more computerized truck vs a more mechanical one like this one. Personally I prioritize power, comfort, longevity and economy over not having to pour def every week.
@@dannyvazquez325 on top of that you can just delete it but the electrical issues still stand even perfectly maintained new trucks will fail just from electrical
..... I love my air conditioned seats, over 600 HP at the flip of a switch and oh yeah I drive a Cummins, not that ford garbage!
Just saw Bill today driving his chevy silverado with his Miata on the trailer and I must admit I was fangirling a little.
That is so cool, like seeing Elvis.
LUCKY that’s like seeing a celebrity hahaha couple weeks ago I saw Henrik Fisker walking up Londonderry Place in W Hollywood. Bill is much cooler
@@curiouscars9282 happy racing with your hairdresser`s car...
jk ;)
Did you see the back of MaryAnne's head bobbing up and down?
That is a riot!
Roger from American Dad doing his thing as a salesman again.
Back when trucks were actually used as trucks and not a status icon
Amen to that
Except for this one apparently lol
I used to work at a JDM import/used Japanese car dealership in SoCal. I can attest, 90% of Americans who claim they need a Pickup Truck or SUV for work, would get by perfectly fine with a Kei Truck/Van with a manual transmission, Four-wheel-drive, and a tiny little turbocharged diesel engine.
Not a ford guy but i like these old fords. Gotta appreciate a clean truck when you see one.
Dream truck! Just don’t let whistlindiesel get his hands on it
WE ARE GOING THOUGH A MUD PIT BOYS WWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Dammn chill
Forreal that guy is an idiot. Do not like him at all
Mark Bridges he’s not he a good you tuber my opinion
@@Ricky-wy6dl yeah he is a genius in his own way still gets on my nerves though haha
He won't have any problem getting 40k for this truck and worth every penny I'd buy this before I would purchase a new one
Ralph Rose Same here. Our world would be a better place if more people would buy these instead of an $80,000 brand new F-250.
best ford engines ever is the 7.3 ford diesel "international" engine beside and the 5.0. I'm not a ford guy but the 7.3 truck and 5.0 mustang is awesome
Your crazy the new trucks can pull over double what that can and get better mpg
@@chasegibson4346 Yeah but will they ever pull that much? Probably not. This would pull what most people have just fine. As far as fuel mileage, you are right. But this is also allot more simple and easier to fix then new trucks. It looks better in my opinion, and it's probably tougher, no plastic body panels.
Yep, slow, but you know you'll get 40 grand worth of life out of it, and then some.
Bill is the best look forward to his reviews pure gold !!!
Lol he is as very amusing & some things he says I can relate to. I watch videos for entertainment mostly & to get a chuckle or laugh.
Absolutely right sir. And I count on Bill to get me through. On cars..Bills eye is dead on. His choices at auction are perfect as is this truck.
Yes he’s the best just like my best uncle who put his fingers down my skirt when I was young
This guy is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 "it was a deer in this road this morning... Damn it looked succulent and delicious".
My dad had a 92 f250 diesel and I loved that thing. We had to get rid of it in 2014 because it was beat up and rusty. This truck is beautiful, I'm surprised how great condition this is in.
At 85 miles an hour it sure is quiet!
That's a classic tough truck. I'd love to own one like that. Those were straight beast!!!!
I really like how duallies look
For the love of God that is a nice truck!
Beautiful truck! My father has a 1999 F-250 7.3 Turbo diesel extended cab, long bed with 67k original miles, always garage kept. He bought it new to tow their travel trailer. The carpet still has that sheen under the weather mats. It’s damn near perfect.
Being an owner of a very clean example of one of these, I can confirm that you have certainly found perhaps the cleanest existing example of this truck! I am very impressed!! I doubt this will last long on the lot at all!
That is exactly my dream truck. If I can get one, it will be used and driven. I want one with the red interiors.
Love those red interiors. I wish they'd come back.
I have two of these trucks, a 1989 F-250 and a 1996 F-150. Both have spent their lives being worked harder than average.
The F-250 has been in the family since new. It has a 5.0, AOD transmission, regular cab 8' bed. It had a lift gate installed on day 2. It has somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 miles on it, and is mostly mechanically original. Second transmission, as the first was destroyed in a collision which knocked out the transmission cooler lines. Just recently, I pulled the original engine out and put a long block in, and replaced all the sensors / injectors, etc. The original engine was still in nearly perfect condition, with no lip on the cylinder walls and no damage anywhere. I could have left it in there and had a million mile engine.
The '96 is my daily driver, and has the original 300 I6, M5OD trans, super cab 6.5' bed. At almost 190,000 miles, it drives like a new truck. I use it to tow things regularly, and recently got back from a couple 700 mile round trips towing a horse trailer and a Jeep. It's in much nicer shape than the F-250, but has spent most of its life towing a travel trailer.
Late to the party but I used to have a F150 standard transmission 300 I6, great motor.
These 90s trucks when kept in good shape are fantastic vehicles.
My dad got a 92 f 150 with 64K original miles, the frame, body, and interior looks great, not as perfect as this truck but still really good.
@@appalachiangunman9589 thats a great vehicle, worth keeping forever.
Venture A Highway I think he only paid about $3,500 for it so it was a really good deal.
@@appalachiangunman9589 thats as good as it gets. It'll keep that value too
Wow what a clean stunning truck.. will sell in no time. Hope the person takes care of it .
This is what 2020 needed.
I have never seen one this clean
So glad this guy got a truck he appreciates
I’m a tourist, at best, in the truck world. I freely admit that - I have a lot of respect for the people that know them inside-out.
Don’t be mistaken, people love the PowerStroke 7.3 for its longevity as much as any IDI 7.3. Both being good pre-emission International engines designed for medium duty commercial applications... I have a ‘97 E350 7.3 with over 350,000 miles. I don’t think it’s been babied a day in its life.
My 7.3 Powerstroke has 679k miles on it. I’m gonna rebuild it when it hits a million miles so I can hopefully get another million out of it.
They made so many parts are everywhere
@@bb_gunbandit4782 its past the 500k its broke in.
An idi will get the job done and last a very long time. Not a fan of the DBII injection pump. I had a Dodge 12 valve. Great engine but the truck fell apart around it. This is a real gem. I had several diesel pickups including a 6.2L idi Chevy I loved but currently a 5.9 common rail Ram. They were all good in their own way. Pre-smog diesels are desirable.
My dad had an 86 F250 with the 7 liter international harvester, it was indestructible
Love this Truck...great find Bill!
This truck belongs in a museum
Unbelievable. What a beautiful rig. Somebody could just baby that truck until the end of times
I love the sound of those doors closing and opening.
Absolutely amazing! could be in the Smithsonian, or another substantial museum. Thanks Bill! Berne
Enjoying your vids for some time, greetings from MTL.
Literally saw this truck rolling down the street the other day, my grandpa lives in the exact same neighborhood as you!
I bought a 93' F-350 7.3 International diesel, bought it brand new from the dealership, it was on display. Its red and white, red interior, with about 83 thousand miles on it, I had it completely restored back in 2015. The inteeioe smells like diesel, because bacl in the early 2000's, I spilled some fuel on the floor, didnt stain it, but still has that smell. Runs like a sewing machine, and of course, garage keept.The most reliable truck I have owned so far.
i remember watching this video shortly after upload but wasn't aware at the time this channel is pure gold
Perfect condition love this truck
Yeah, these trucks are beast even with the idi & it’s got plenty of power. I’ve got the 5spd stick & it’s good, but it would be cool to have an auto idi. Had an auto Powerstroke, & it was fun to drive.
I’m a 16 Yr old, getting me of these baby’s as a first truck.
“7.3 IDI is the last great mechanical diesel”
*Laughs in 12 Valve Cummins*
Cummins makes shit engines.
@@WojciechP915 dafuq?
12 valve is shit but indirect injection is good?
I’m a ford guy but come on...
Yesssss! 7.3s are gutless. But this truck is pretty sweet.
I thought 7-3 powerstroke are revilled for longevity engines also? there's people with half a million miles on them or more.
Great review thanks! You're videos make my day brother I sure do appreciate the hell out of it.
that is one sweet looking f-350, that thing is perfect!!! 😊😊👍👍
Definitely Belongs in a museum
Wow a am speechless that is by far the cleanest idi I have ever seen. I live up in new england you never see these trucks around here
Man that is so clean, and so beautiful... I wish, can’t have nice things up here in Canada =(
The most therapeutic smokers voice in the game right now. Love the reviews
Oh my god i hope i can get my 1995 f350 to look like this
Perfect paint scheme for a Ford F-350
Always learn something new when I watch your videos Bill
A buddy of mine owned one of these beauties and gosh it had massive amounts of torque and power when he stepped on the peddle. You basically own the road when you drove one of these babies definitely one of the most iconic trucks ever made in merica. And I myself owned a 92 F150 xlt almost identical to this two toned color here. Mind was a little bluer in color with a lighter blue in the wide stripe. I miss that ford and would like to have another. I like my new Tacoma sport but I'd take my ole 92 ford or 76 ford F series any day of the week. Just a plain practical work truck and the best thing about this baby is no computer all mechanical, that's what makes this truck so special.
Best looking dually I’ve ever seen perfect for a truck camper
Nice beauty! idi Is my favorite engine my granddad had a 86 f350 long bed and man it just had the most unique sound
Don't know if it was mentioned, but IHC is Navistar, when they sold their agricultural division they changed their name. They did not merge with anyone
I have owned 15 idi's in my life have a 91 cab and a half dully now and dynamically tuned at least 300 of these and i have never seen one with the factory stckers under the hood.
Edit: those are the standard factory mirrors the "upgrade tow mirrors" are the west coast style 4 bar mirrors. Amazing truck id give one of my nuts to have one that nice
My god that truck is beautiful. I’m currently restoring a number matching 94 F150 XLT single cab short box that has a 5.8 and an E40D in it. It still has the original PDI paperwork in the glove compartment. 233k on it but I’m putting in the work to make her nice again after a hard life
You are one lucky dude owning this beautiful truck 😍
It looks very nice and clean. It's still basically new!
...I wish my '97 looked that good...
What I would give for a truck like that. Perfection.
Amazing to see. Wouldn't mind having that truck in my garage.
Nice original survivor. Beautiful to see
I just bought a '94 7.3 IDI E-350 dually with a 16ft box frame off a guy in my neighborhood for $3500. I'd rather have had a truck cab, but still the best investment I've made since my 5 spd 2000 Mazda B2500 Ranger rebrand.
Aaaah... now I understand the purpose of the pass-through rear window 😂🍺🍺
wow time really does make these age like wine.
I love this gen of Fords and the cat eye generation of chevys and it’s between the first and second gen rams I love
The 7.3 idi was a great engine for it's time. Its still a good engine . If it was 4x4 & a 5 speed I'd be on my way to get it. I have spent many many hours and miles sitting behind that engine and can say we got along great. That was about a 30k truck back then and I remember people saying it was crazy money. You will spend half that for a new engine in a modern truck today.
Funny thing is they want 39k now. 32k brand new with 0 miles.... smdh
@@rxtuninginc8444 in 2018, a new 6.7 engine was 22k.
I like the 7.3 IDI Diesel for 1992-1994 Ford F-250/350/450/550 Series
The best part is that motor can still be Banks turboed.
I just got and old 93,what is banks turbo
Gale Banks turbo's
ultra good conditions. great vid man!!!
Just bought a 88 with 160k miles for 4500. Interior is flawless, slow but an absolute tank. I’m from Naples as well!
Oh man Bill thanks for the freeway clip .....that was so cool see what that ole truck will do ....it cruises really easy freeway ..Man I wish I had about $50,000 to buy it.
Solid built to work hard everyday for years
I have a 96 350 7.3 dump with 55,000 miles. Awesome truck!
I have a 1992 with a 5-speed just like it I love it
Beautiful truck definitely a dream dream
Wow ! What a truck..,and manual vent windows too !
Love this Truck MinT MinT MinT & You give a Hell of a Story On Every Car Huge Fan 👍🏻👷🏼♂️
This one brings back great memories. My dad serviced and also up-fitted these trucks at Turnpike Ford in Secaucus, NJ. I was a kid and my mom would send me to work with him on summer breaks. Of course today that would cause the planet to skip a beat. Things were different back then.
Anyway I got to sit in, and also crawl under these trucks when they all were in this condition. The IDI was a great engine. Got a good chuckle at the fuel tank switch valve. Wonder it still works properly? Always a fun time when it failed mechanically and you were still driving on the low fuel tank (but the fuel reading switched to the secondary tank) and it stalled out. Now you got some fuel system bleeding to do 😂
Also @19:15 that not the truck rattling. Pretty sure it's Bill's bones.
This is literally the last year for the IDI too. What an amazing example. Power stroke replaced the idi diesel in ford's line up in 1994.
94.5 to be exact
@@thermidorlevrai65 in 94, you could get a IDI, a turbo IDI, and the powerstroke 7.3.
$39,900, for if anyone (or if Bill Harrah) is interested.
I have a 1993 Fsuperduty, low quality, cheap, doesent have power windows, and its a manual (i like them more though) but i still love the thing and will die for it
Bill is the best.
One of the only fords I would buy.
That is a beautiful truck! Nice video!
You sold me dude
I hope you stay on top of those coolant additives cuz these things need it. These old dually are beautiful! I’ve had both a 95 & 93 idi & the idi is better for longevity.
The Powerstroke is good, but it’s a pain to fix & it’s expensive for pasts & everything is frigin electronic & all that l computer crap.
That thing is mint & don’t let anyone turn up the pump.
That truck is immaculate. What a find and thank you for sharing. Good luck with on getting big bucks on BAT.
Those old IDIs are cool but everyone wants a turbo
That is a nice truck which I liked this body style all the way around. I've not seen a truck like this in this nice looking condition.
Needs to be in a museum.
Fantastic video Bill of a superb Ford pickup truck
was the truck ever used for anything other then looking cool driving down the road.
thats what fords do
This is the definition of mint
Very nice! Cleaner than my 01 F-350, crew cab Dually! Mine is low miles also. A mere 157K!
that’s a peice of history right there
awesome truck the best spot for it is in my driveway lol i cant help it i love the old ford 7.3 idi diesel trucks
I love your ford f350 truck this is my favorite classic truck 👍🥰
7.3 was rated best diesel ever made
Cummins p-pump 12 valve.
