Default Hi

New member here from Indiana. First time diesel owner (longtime driver, first time owner). I'm from the Brazil/Terre Haute area.

I just traded for a 93 F250 Supercab 4x4 with the 7.3 IDI Turbo and ZF S-542 5spd manual.
It's a project truck, needs some body work and a little mechanical work here and there.

If there are any 7.3 IDI owners in my area who know a lot about the engine, I welcome any advice/help/suggestions you can throw my way on best prices for parts and aftermarket accessories and a good place to work on it (I don't have a garage big enough or many tools) this is a learning experience for me as I have limited mechanical knowledge of engines and want to learn more.

I'm active duty military and a volunteer firefighter/EMT with my community. Hope to get to know some people here and make new friends.
