94 Turbo vs 94 Stroke Flywheel????

gumboluvr · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2009, 06:24 PM

Perhaps a dumb question.

Are the flywheels the same on the 94 stroke as the 94 turbo? Parts stores always try to give me stroke parts, is this a case where it doesn't matter.

I have the 5 speed behind the 94 turbo. I am doing a single mass conversion to a Valair. My parts guy tells me I have the right parts, but the say 1994-1998 powerstroke. Valair's website list parts for 89-93 non PS or 94-98 PS.

Thanks

Nope, they are not interchangeable, crank bolt pattern is not the same.

When ordering parts for a 94 IDI, specify 93 7.3 IDI turbo VIN K.

Also specifically say not VIN F which is a Power Stroke.

Parts guys hear 7.3 turbo and instantly think Power Stroke.

very true... i jus ordered a clutch and i got it for a 94 7.3 idi vin code K

1994 7.3 diesels

445 cu in VIN M is a 7.3 IDI NA
445 cu in VIN K is a 7.3 IDI turbo
445 cu in VIN F is a 7.3 Power Stroke

If you have a 94 and say it is a 94, you need to know the VIN code or just say it is a 93.

Yeah, I always tell them it's a 94 VIN K. Some don't get it, some think they know better than you, and some just don't care. I had one guy argue with me. He said if it's a 94, it's gotta be a stroke. I just walked out door.

From now on I'll be telling folks it's 93 VIN K.

NAPA guys computer didnt show a diesel for my year of truck so he was unable to help me.... too bad they didnt train their manager to use those big things with pages behind the counter otherwise they would still have a customer..

Try again with VIN C, 1993 model year.

A little off topic but i've wondered why do some places say 444CI and some say 445CI???
Stupid question i know but i'm curious...

Some people round up, and some people round down. Thats all their is to it. The actual displacement is 444.xxxx
