PSD Horsepower?
I have a very early 99 F350 7.3l PSD auto.

I wonder how many horsepower this engine was rated for? I have seen references to several different ratings.

thanks.

Early 99 Should be around 215HP IIRC

I heard 250 hp, although my truck pulls 30,000 lb set better than 318 hp Detroit in my 30,000 lb motorhome.

You have a 6 speed correct? I know the 6 speeds were higher, my Valve cover on my 2000 is 235HP, I know the E99's had smaller AB code injectors, and smaller turbo.

You also need to pay attention to the torque rating, not just HP. Diesels have relatively low HP numbers compared to a gas engine, but they have way more torque.

HP
Thanks for the tips'

I am only curious. I have heard that these early 99 PSD had lower hp rating then some of the latter ones and wondered what I could do to up the rating.

I will give Clay a call and find out what he thinks.

I had a '99 F-350 Supercab dually that I ordered in November '97 and took delivery in February '98. It had an auto trans, the engine was rated at 235hp and 500 lb/ft torque. The early trucks had a different turbo, ran good and had a very loud turbo whine when you had a load on it.

I stand corrected, I did not remember correctly, I wonder what it is that makes the power rating more? PCM, Frank's sticker shows having a Cat, my 2000 is non catalyst. Hmm, guess I need to put a smaller turbo, smaller injectors, and gain about 15HP's.

I think you use to be able to get them from Ed. Or someone was making them, I remember a thread.
