Yea I got everything except flywheel. Look like a clean motor. And I don't really know it would probably be a ford truck. I really want to know more about what makes this different from the idi what electronics was added?

not good, but also not bad. they are two completely different engines.
kinda like a 300 six cylinder and a 302. same displacement, but the idi is like the 300. a slow and steady grunt engine where the powerstroke is like the 302, a high spirited power engine..

my dad has a powerstroke with over 500k on it and still strong never any major issues. It just now needs injectors. He also has another one with over 400k that had injectors put in it about 3 times. So it can go either way.the one with 500k was a 99, and the other a 2002.
