Diesel emblem

[GunnerJ]

Just wondering why brick noses got a diesel emblem when equipped with an IDI but the OBS don't have them?

Just the way it was. Lol
The efi got a efi one. I've also seen 4x4 and 2x4 on those.
The last run of the turbo idi saw a few, I believe. My powerstroke has the "turbo diesel" fender badge, but I've heard it was meant for the idi.

From what I understand all 94 Powerstrokes got the turbo diesel badging, it wasn't until 95 that they got the Powerstroke symbol

That's what I thought also. I knew the psd badge didn't come out til 95.

The n/a OBS trucks had a small black and chrome "DIESEL" emblem on the tailgate.

here's a pic of the OEM turbo emblem and the standard "diesel" emblem off an OBS.

that's my own personal addition to it. these rigs are so slow anything can outrun them.

that will hold true with a n/a motor. not so with a turbo 6.5 with a modified turbo and exhaust. I've built one that will clean the clock on a duramax. The IH idi won't even stand a chance against it.

let's be honest with ourselves here. neither the 6.2/6.5 and the 6.9/7.3 are good sled pulling motors here. Pulling a trailer, it's 6.9/7.3 all day long. but it does have it's limitations.

Also look at how the gm's get beat up in the hmmwv's.....
