No. It is nice to have the extra power from a PSD, but parts are so much more expensive and there's a lot more that can go wrong...unless you don't care about that, then definitely get it.

Here we go again .

Why does he wanna trade? What's wrong with it that he wants it gone?

well you know the truck and know its history, psd are more expensive to maintain, but thats pretty much up to you. see your truck is a extended cab so you would be giving up space. Motor on the PSD shouldnt be hurt unless not taken care of but injectors are pretty costly. But again seems like thats your personal choice

 

[trapper]

you trade to much lol

 

[BrandonMag]

I'd say no based on the fact the '96 is an automatic and your '93 is a stick.

 

[Dave7.3]

Agreed with Brandon. If its a diesel, it deserves a manual behind it in my opinion. Unless you like doing swaps.

Otherwise: Power and aftermarket support, its the PSD hands down. Repair costs perspective, go with the IDI.

Well idk his truck is alot better shape. It's never had a chip, maintenance has been kept up. I love the 5 speed but I know the auto tranny was replaced right before I bought it the first time. Has no blow by. Only thing performance wise that's done is a cold air intake. On my truck pump it has newer motor, newer ip, new clutch. My truck has a little rust and paint is chipped all around. Pulled 6660 lbs with my truck today and it done great just ALOT of black smoke which I love haha. I'm thinking of getting the psd for fuel milage. His gets 18-20 and mine gets 15-17. I think I may trade just because resell value of a psd is higher than an idi. I got some thinking to do on it but I'll keep y'all updated what happens. THANKS FOR THE OPINIONS SO FAR!!!!

His gets 18-20 and mine gets 15-17.

You can use the money saved in fuel for when stuff needs to be replaced cause your gonna need that extra money for parts being its a PSD.

Has the powerstroke had all * injectors replaced recently if not then dont do it it will need at least an injector or two soon at that millage.

I've had a couple that didn't run and a few without titles. I've scrapped a few of them and sold the rest. I try to keep at least 1 different one each month lol but craigslist has been DEAD lol
