Hey just a few thoughts I’ve been pondering. I’m about to have my 94 all buttoned up after a few more days tinkering. I have owned many 2000+ 7.3 powerstrokes over the years and I wanted to try out the simple mechanical engine in the idi. I’ve noticed I could my pick of dozens of 7.3 powerstrokes within 5 hours of driving. But finding a solid 7.3 idi was tough. I do enjoy the simplicity and old style of the truck but my super duty felt much more substantial in terms of performance and just being beefier. Things like tow mirrors seem like a luxury now. Pulling a trailer up any hill at 50-65 was never an issue. But the old truck is sweet.
I’m just considering if it’s be worth picking up a superduty to replace my earlier generation 350.
If I need to tow I take the truck otherwise I drive my sprinters.
It just really opened my eyes when it came time to replace my 7.3 idi turbo. Parts weren’t super easy to get and people weren’t familiar with it either.
I’m even questioning is diesel worth the extra price tag. Every vehicle I’ve owned in the past 12 years has been diesel. And I’m willing to stick in there. But I’m happy for some potentially bias opinions!
