start date for a 7.3psd?

I think it's either 94.5 or 93.5 somebody know?

prior to that was a NA 7.3 right... early 90's? and then a short run of a turbo 7.3, then the totally different engine the 7.3 psd..

down the road a guy is suposedly selling a 94 f350 with 61K original miles on it. no rust and clean interior. It's like it rolled out of a garage after 17ys almost.

it's a bit too old for me to consider as a replacement for my dodge.. but it was neat to look at the pics... got me wondering if it was a turbo 7.3 or a psd early.

truck sheet metal is the older boxy style. ( not unatractive to me.. I like boxy tin on old fords.. )

The 7.3 turbo was introduced mid year 1994. This was the first power stroke. It actually ran for quite a while, til 2003. Then came the infamous 6.0 power stroke from 2004 - 2007. The 6.4 came out in 2008 super duties.

is that the 'turbo' 7.3 or the 7.3psd that was 94.5 as I know there is a turbo 7.3 that is a totally different engine than a 7.3psd. we have a f250 pacifica that is a early 94.. has a 7.3 turbo.. but not a psd engine..

I edited my post for clarity... The 7.3 prior to 1994 was an indirect injected non-turbo engine. When they introduced the 7.3 turbo, quite a different engine than the 7.3 idi non-turbo, they picked up the power stroke moniker.

i was under the impression there was a turbo 7.3 that was different from the psd. IE.. a turbo added to the NA 7.3 of previous years?

Not to my knowledge, but I could certainly be wrong. I think the confusion comes in because they went from a non-turbo 6.9 idi to a non-turbo 7.3 idi shortly before going to the 7.3 turbo psd.

They made a 7.3 navistar diesel that had a turbo in early z94 then they went to 7.3 power stroke in late 1994 (94.5). I owned nav 7.3 turbo and it was nothing close to the power stroke engine.

The 1994 7.3 turbo was only available for a short while. Then the powerstroke came out in 1995. The 94 turbo was only available with a 5sp manual shift, since the automatics wouldn't hold up. I have a 94 non turbo. It's a tough engine. I know someone who has a 94 turbo, it's constantly in the shop.

i knew there was one. we have a 7.3 turbo at work that looks nothing like my 7.3 psd... thought I was going crazy for a moment there..

The non turbo 7.3 had 185hp. The turbo 7.3 had 190hp. I believe the 95 powerstroke had 225hp.
