direct injected or IDI?

Too funny, I've had this truck for 10 years and 125,000 miles. Never needed to know the difference B4.

It's a 1994 M-code, no- turbo.

How do I tell? Can I tell by which side of the valve covers my injectors are on?

That would be an IDI. F code would be Power Stroke, and all strokes are turbo, and have the injectors under the valve cover.
