@@keegentilley578 not really. The idi is all mechanical non-turbo also uses injector cups and does not actually inject fuel into the piston it has a pre combustion chamber does not have a pcm does not use a high pressure oil pump while some aspects sound similar it is a completely different engine. I almost prefer the idi engine. It is simpler than a 7.3 power stroke or a t444e and I might even say more reliable the t444e is just an updated younger brother to the idi and more modernized for that current time period
@@keegentilley578the 7.3 IDI and 7.3 powerstroke are completely different engines. There is nothing similar about them, apart from the fact that they are both 7.3 L diesels
Unless someone changed vins or cabs and front ends that aint a 1998 front end. The motor sounds like a t444e 7.3 powerstroke so it sounds to me like it was a 1998 frame with a 1998 cab and front end and someone swapped the front end. Because i take back what i said about the cab Because the cabs are pretty much identical from the S series.
How was it putting the 84 hood on? I have a 2001 IH 4900 with a dt530. Hood is pretty beat, but I love the looks of these particular hoods. The only thing I was curious about was whether or not it was a quick and easy bolt on or a custom hinge and latch kind of deal
Good Ole 7.3 she’s a beauty
Thank you!
I've always loved the sound of these particular engines cold starting! Sound a little bit different than the power stroke
@@isfeldt34Prolly because of the exhaust system, considering the power stroke is a t444e
Got to love the sound of that Navistar T444E. That starter, sounds a little bit different than a Ford powerstroke.
Almost sounds like an idi non turbo
@@hunter7476i mean its almost the ecact same engine

Ive always loved the s series hood. Looks better in my opinion.
Not a ‘98, but sweet swap! The 444 is a big step up from the IDI.
98 with a hood swap. Did it all myself.
Damn good looking, sounding truck i love the t444e
Maan what a beauty!
must have put a doghouse off older rig on it.. are you gonna do more vids of this truck?
Yes, 84 hood. I've been planning on doing a walk around video. Just haven't had the time.
A Detroit Diesel Series 30.
Should just pin a comment saying you did a hood swap lol, youtube commenters love trying to make folks look dumb
Eh. I'm not to concerned. I made it for my own fun. Trucks long sold now moved onto different projects. Love s chassis trucks tho
@@Trev3813 Fair enough

Yup. 98 with an 84 hood. There's another video on it.

It's a truck from the 90s disguised as the 80s.
Sounds like a 7.3
Basically is.
Does that hood fit without modifications? I want to put it on my 01 4700
I had to make my own hinges and alot of fitting. Also a custom wiring harness.
Where you get good deals on tires , what do you pay ?
More info on this thing??
There's another video on the channel. It's also for sale.
How hard was the hood swap?
Not bad. I remade the hinges and rewired the lights. Pretty easy. Just time.
We have 3
Thats a 98?
Yup. Front end conversation from older model.
