Hey, I'm looking at buying a 94 f250 with a powerstroke motor, 4x4, reg cab, but for some reason it doesn't have the powerstroke badging below the f250 XLT badge? Is that very common? Or do you think they might have done a swap?

 

the very early powerstrokes never had the powerstroke badge and only came with a 5sp. when was it built?

 

Not sure yet, should be looking at it this weekend. However I'm pretty sure it's an automatic.

 

I'm pretty sure they only had 5sp, ask him the build date

 

The late 94's had the old badge that said turbo diesel on them. They didn't put powerstroke till 95. the tranny I'm not sure about but yeah look at when it was built.

 

Will do.

 

Turns out y'all, the engine was replaced with an older IDI and had a new trans dropped in also.. So isn't a powerstroke. But I still am probably going to pick it up because he's only asking 1000.

 

The idi was a good engine, reliable and good mileage but they don't have a lot of power and you can't get much out of them for long

 

What do you mean, "for long"?

 

The idi wasn't meant to have a ton of power. They will run forever stock but when you start adding a lot of power they have the potential to not last very long
