difference in 95 and 97 trucks
I have a 97 psd but I'm looking at a 95 that is for sale localy. Are there any differences between a 95 and a 97 powerstroke.
also what would this truck be worth?
95, 5-speed, 4x4, ext cab long box, 110k miles, nice shape in and out.
needs brakes and tires

There is a difference in the front cover design. The 95's have a drain back hole for the HPOP which doesn't lend itself well to upgraded HPOP's. And I can't put my finger on it, but the 96 and 97's I've driven, just seem stronger than my 95. Comparing stock to stock. I don't know what the difference is, but I'd sure like to know. Also, the cooling system is setup kinda different. The 95's have the radiator that has a cap, and later years don't

I have one of each. They have a different transfer case and driveline for the 4 wheel drive. The transfer case on the '95 is a very poor gearbox. Have put two in. Same thing with the driveline, very poor. Performance is dramatically better in the '97 as stock. Can't think of much else I think the rear axle in my 97 is different too. I know the gear ratios are. My '97 is a E4OD the '95 a 5 speed. The '95 is mostly just used for a farm truck. I would try to buy the '95 for less than 6,000 if it were me, 5,000 would be a good eal if the engine is strong. They are still a good truck just plan on having driveline problems if you work it much. The IDM's are the same. The PCM as far as I know the same. Turbo same. If you live in Texas it is doubtful you will be able to buy it that cheap. Good luck!

95s are a weaker truck in stock form. I do believe that they have the least HP rating. II think they are 210 and 96 and up are 220 correct? I know my 95 is a little weaker, but thats going to change here shortly with a TW chip, intercooler, and stage 1's

My '95 is terrible doggy but it is total stock. I may just do a 10 k mod and a 140 IDM mod and call it good on that truck. The '97 ran a Lot better just stock, it does great now. Not a lot more i wil do with it. Gonna go with stage 1 injectors. Got plans for an intercooler working on rounding up parts . Planning on a 140 IDM if it is feasible with the Bully Dog chip. I tried their tech line Again today, never could get through.

yeah I couldnt pass up on this one. He was asking $8500 and I talked him down to $5000 cause it needed tires, brakes and a couple other things.
I just hope I can get enough money out of my 97 truck to pay for this one and some of the stuff I wanna do to it.
