Got my 97 last 4th of July with 41k miles on it. Production date was 11/97. It was purchased five years earlier in June of 98, guy had a new 2003 sittin' in the driveway, needless to say, I'm keeping his phone number. My father purchased his early 99 (one of the first one I had seen) in November of 98. We both reside in CA., and often talk to each other regarding our engines. Not much the same, as since they run so good, we're pretty much just throwing filters at them. I figured since he was sold on his truck, I could trust his judgement, being that he's owned handfulls of big rigs over the last 35 years.

the motor in the early 99 is basicly a split shot 97 (california motor)so there was nothing new there

Injectors were upgraded to split shots on all models in 1999, intercooler, turbo (1999 or 2000?), fuel system, oil capacity, etc. When the PSD was first introduced in 1994.5 the oil capacity was 12 quarts and it put out 215HP/425 lb ft. By 1997 it held 14 quarts of oil and put out 225HP/480 lb ft. What's my pooint? Even though they made changes in the 1999 model year all PSDs are basically the same engine.

Mine's a 97 F350 dually plain cab with a flat bed. No known mods. 342 k miles (not my own). Bought used in 2002, great body. Seems it had a service bed on it for a guy that used it to run a portable semi service for his trucks. Got it running yesterday, what a relief. I feel for U prcrboy, mine's got 4.10's too and the mileage is about the same ( but I can pull the state of Oklahoma, maybe Texas too).

Mine is a 2002, my first diesel and I will never go back to gassers, In the fire service we have a lot of PSD's but they are so choked back and slow(VERY abused too!) that I never knew this motor's potential. I love it!!!!!

Mine's a 2002, bought it new, 70,450 miles on it now and the only thing I've done other than normal maintenance was I had to have the front rotors turned at 36,000. Great truck, wouldn't trade it for any other truck out there....
