Assuming he meant IDI LOL. Depends on the truck, but good condition IDI's still fetch more than that easy.

Most aren't even turbo... only one year had turbo, the 1994.5's, powerstrokes came in 1995.

Yeah, can't really get too much over 200-250hp reliably. They're certainly not speed demons, but they'll pull just about anything. Slowly. But they'll pull it.

No sir.... The Powerstroke's came out in 1994.5....

1994 had three options... IDI N/A, IDI Factory turbo, and DI Powerstroke.

This needs clarifying also...

1994 had 3 motors like I said above... An IDI is not a powerstroke, you are correct. But That doesn't mean if it's not a powerstroke it's a turbo diesel. It could be a naturally aspirated Indirect injected 7.3 (IDI). The powerstrokes came out late in 94 and they still came with the turbo diesel stickers. Wasn't til they ran out of those that you started seeing the Powerstroke stickers under the F250/350 badges... You could potentially see a 1994.5 Powerstroke with a turbo diesel sticker.
