psd came out in 88, then it was improved before 00 I think
cause the 93 psd had nasty exhuast and had to use ether
to start it sometmes in the cold.but the 00 psd (both 350 crew)
has clean exhuast and is hassle free affter 106 000 km.
I guess its just whatever turns your crank! cause I would
rather drive gas powered stuff around but deisel is
good for work.V-10s seem real smooth etc but its a new
engine that is in the crude start out.sticking valve,
lifters, piston slap,blown gaskets(head)etc. occuring
before 50 000miles sometimes,460cid can make more than
one needle move at quite a pace under heavy reving.



Fe power

 

No '88 was not a power stroke diesel. it was just the 7.3 liter disel it did not change to the direct injection power stroke unill 1994. they did try a indirect injection turbo for a year or so before the direct injection turbo charged (AKA Powerstroke Diesel).

as for any changes between '94 and presant i don't believe that there were many if any at all.


If you had to use ether on your truck then your glow plugs needed to be looked into.

 

The previous poster is correct, in '88 it was a 7.3L indirect injection, the Direct Injection Powerstroke came in '94. All Powerstrokes are turbocharged, but the early models were not intercooled. I don't think they became intercooled until '98 or '99. The first powerstrokes produced 425 lb-ft of torque. Then when the intercooler was added, it was increased to 500 lb-ft. Now it has been eased up to 525 lb-ft. (Units built after January 14, 2002).

 

Next year Ford will release the new 6.0 Liter Generation 2 Powerstroke. It'll have 350 Horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque! Dodge is also coming out with an improved Cummins next year, but it will only have 305 Horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. And once again, Chevy will be last in the Diesel war, with their Duramax only putting out 300 Horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Chevy always was a loser when it came to Diesels, and, heck, just about everything else too!

 

I like both the v10 and the 460 very much. They 460 has really good low end power and will pull very well, the v10 is not as strong low end, but due to the overhead cam design it will pull alot better in the upper rpm. The v10 does not have a problem with sticking lifters, because it doesn't have them it is overhead cam . If you can aford the 99 and up go for the 10, if not go for the 460, either way you won't be disapointed. Hope this helps, Mason

I believe the first diesels were the 6.9's, not 7.3.

 

The first year for ford to offer a full size pickup with the diesel was 1983 with the 6.9L. The 6.9 was offered through the body change in 1987,in 1988 the 7.3L indirect injection was offered and was the only choice till 1993 when they offered a turbo version of that engine, there was also a 7.3 that was offered in 93-94 that I am not sure about it was something different I believe that ford made it but not sure, it was a turbo charged engine, that had some sort of computer control system on it, but I have not seen one in person. In 1994.5 the direct injected 7.3L was offered, this is the powerstroke, but was not badged as such till the 1995 model year this engine was offered in it's 210hp 425 torque version till 1997 when the 5 speeds gota 225hp version. In real late 1997 or early 1998(I can't remember for sure) as a 99 model the addition of a intercooler caused the hp to go up to 235 hp for both auto and the new 6 speed standard. In the 2001 model year the hp was upped (By programing and fuel delivery system mods I believe) to 250hp for the auto, and 275hp for the 6speed, and that is were we set now. I have not seen anything yet that was positive on the g2 psd, but it sounds interesting, and the international version (the "VT365") should be at the international house's right now. Ok this is the off topic overrun on the history of ford diesels . If I have missed something please feel free to add it in a post below, Hope this helps, Mason

Great info!!!

 

Had 2 - 460's and liked the torque. Problem is that the power curve is short and doesn't work well with the auto tranny. I was always searching for another gear to pull my tractor up the big hill. Heck, my Toyota v-6 flatbed would tow my tractor up the mountain at 65 in 3rd gear while the 460 would not pull 3rd auto and have to max out second gear at 52 mph. I'm sure the 460 "stick shaker" would do better.
The v-10 has no such problems. It will maximize your gear selection with a broad powerband. You can shortshift at 1600 rpm or wind it to 5k.
I think the 460 is a good motorhome motor, but for everything else, I'm glad I've got the "10" now.

As far as mileage, the "10" gets 25% better mileage than both the 460's I had. Just my HO

 

Remember there's no replacement for displacement. Just so you know, the 460 will probably be cheaper to fix, and cheaper to get more hp and torque out of. And plus you can always go the junkyards and find an old 460 and have fun with it and put it your truck.

personally i like both motors, as for as pulling we pull our 25ft gooesneck around loaded with our highlift and my brothers v10 seems to pickup speed faster but as for as holding a hill i don't think it makes much difference they both hang in there pretty good. the 460 definetly has more low end torque i ain't got a tach in mine so don't know what the best rpm range is for the pulling, the v10 seems to have the most power between 3k and 4k rpm. all in all the v10 seems to be a better pulling engine cause you can get the rpm's up, with my 460 5 speed i think it redlines at 4500 although not sure exactly the v10 runs 5k easy allowing you top keep the rpms high even after shifting with mine it drops off pretty low and loses kick. ken04 i know what your talking about with manifold trouble i had to replace my right hand one already with only 65000 miles on it. but i don't feel to bad cause my brothers v10 had three studs twist off in the head on the right hand side exhaust manifold. most be a ford thing. anyways i like the 460 cause its proven, its been around for years and you can't beat the rumble it has with flowmaster exhaust like mine has!

 

"There's no replacement for displacement"

There's not a replacement, but there is a supplement and it's called technology. That explains why you can get more HP and torque from the current V10 than the 460 that it replaced. Sure, there is more room for power increases in a 460 engine, but most people on the road drive their vehicle in the stock configuration anyway.
