The diesel that came in the 89's was the 7.3L IDI. Not a lot of power in stock form, but it could take a beating and keep going. Probably the most reliable diesel ever put in a Ford.

Banks just recently discontinued production of the turbo kits for these trucks. Hypermax still has stuff available, so you can check them out if you want to slap on a turbo.
