Looking at 94 Crewcab..Issues?
Group
I'm looking at a 1994 Diesel Crewcab F-350,
I thought all 92 and up were Turbo Diesels, I see now
there not..
Is the 94 a bad motor??? Whats the power difference from Power stroke to non power??
Is there issues or problems with this year truck to look for??

94 1/2 is the grey year- PS was being introduced, while the DI turbo charged was being phased out. PS is computer controlled, the DI has a mechanical pump. Both will do what you need to do- and are easily modded for more preformance, etc. Mostly depends if you want a diesel injection pump to tweak on, or a computer.

I have a 94 F-350 dually 7.3 IDI Turbo, seems just fine for me. I recently replaced the glowplugs and controller as well as injectors and new pump this past week. Runs fine now.
Note the injectors and pump were original with 180K miles on them.

I just purchased a 94 F350 Crew 7.3L IDI Turbo.
It's my first diesel so I am no expert. I love it so far.
I've learned that the first version of the PowerStroke came out in late 94, replacing the IDI version.
The In-Direct Injection version has a mechanical injector system while the PS Direct Injection version is computer controlled.
The blocks, displacement, etc are the same. Here are some numbers on the two:
7.3L DI PS Turbo HP 210 hp @ 3000 rpm Torque 425 lb.-ft. @ 2000 rpm
7.3L IDI Turbo HP 190 hp @ 3000 rpm Torque 395 lb.-ft. @ 1400 rpm
Here is another site I found with engine comparison data7.3L Comparison
I really like the way mine runs and understand that there are a few mods that will bring the IDI version up to the power numbers of the PS.
I think I'll wait on those til I need them. Right now it has plenty of pull for me.
Plus, if something goes wrong, I don't have to try and figure out a computer problem. Guess I'm old school.
Good luck.
