I tried to find one, but around here a used psd is about 2500 and that's with 250,000 miles on them and they won't guarantee it.and a used truck with a psd that's got less than 300k is around 5k.I've been looking for about a year but the best deal I have found offs this one owner idi that only had 170k on it.

You will be upset to go to an IDI. They get good milage and can run a long time but they have no power

I know I won't have the power I'm used to, but it gets me going till i can afford to rebuild my powerstroke. Also does anyone know about intercooling a idi engine with a turbo
