Yeah, that's my old beater. Hitting almost 300K and still runs like a clock. (Including the ticking)
It's an early 94 with the last of the mechanical diesels (called InDirect Injection) and a factory turbo. In mid 94, Ferd switched to the Powerstroke and retired the workhorse IDI. The Plow is an 8ft fisher commercial, the body is a Knapheide, don't remember the brand of the top boxes. and the gate is a Theiman. The ladder rack is a homebrew.
I've put this truck thru hell over the years, but it's always been good to me. I bought it at about 5 months old with 3 or 4K on the odo, and right now it's sitting right around 290,000. It's had the usual stuff for something with this mileage, like 5 sets of tires, a radiator, injection pump, 2nd clutch, and 7 or 8 sets of brakes. (It's hilly around here and she sits at 9300lb's.) I did all sorts of mods to it, from tweaked injection pump to straight exhaust and larger turbine housing and outlet, gauges, it used to have propane on it, and a few other goodies to increase to go factor.
Now I just mosey it along and hope it holds up. I was ready in 08 for a new one, but they had a lotta trouble with the new 6.4 and this year I'm just pinching pennies and trying to keep the bills paid. Besides, I live in a super property tax enviro and just don't want the $1600 bill for a new rig when this one works just fine and still looks OK.(The house taxes are enough to keep me sucked dry, and not in a good way.)
That's about it. I'll keep rockin this old beast it either gives up the ghost(not likely) or something nicer comes along reasonably priced. (also not likely)
Here's a couple pics, and sry for the threadjacking.
