1996 Psd??
Hey guys!!
I currently have a 1987 F250 with a 6.9L and love it! I am thinking of doing a D60 front, a ZF swap... and a few other cool things too....
I was looking around locally today and found a 1996 F350 7.3 5 speed... It has 200 000 miles on it and is priced at just under $7000 OBO....
I figure that I can sell the 87 for about $2000, which is exactly how much I have into it... I figure by the time I put a 60 in the front, a 5 speed trans, fix the rust and paint it... its going to be around the $5000 mark all said and done properly... and I still dont have a turbo....
I really know very little about the PSD to be honest... any advice for me???
Thanks guys!!!
Bob

it ALL comes down to how much you love that IDI. the turbo and front 60 are a HUGE improvement and would be worth at least a couple grand. 7K is pretty good, i bought my 96 F350 CC/LB ZF for $12K with 180K miles.

I do love the IDI...But A friend of mine will buy it from me in a heart beat.... here are 3 really good reasons for me to consider the '96:
1) the 5 speed... 65 MPH at 2700 RPMs make the 4 speed... well ... lame!
2) solid axle D60.... way better than D44 TTB
3) turbo
I was a little intmidated by the IDI at first to be honest... I am an automotive tech, but work 99% on gas..... but I really like how simple it is, and how cheap it all is to fix.... its grown on me....
The PSD is just one more level of intimidation for me I guess....

If you get the 96 theres plenty of people on here to help with it. I have been saved by these guys plenty of times, they are very knowlegable on the 7.3 D.I.
Sounds like a decent deal. They say they should last about 500K to 600K miles.

I had a '93 7.3 IDI and just recently bought a '97 Powerstroke with 95K for $11K. It's my favorite truck. Stroker is correct, There is more than enough info on this board to help with anything.
Good Luck
