How do you find that out, the vin ? and im wondering bout the injectors cause im looking at buying a chip and i read somewhere the 90cc injectors only support another 65 hp so why buy a big chip with multiple settings over 65 cause thats all the injectors will allow me to gain

i have both a 94.5 and a 97 powerstroke, there are little differences. I had to get a 97 computer put into the 94 because when it broke, they told me that it was obsolete so both truck are on the same page that way. probably the biggest difference in the 97 trucks are the e4od trannies. The 97 are much better because of all the upgrades done to it.

If you have a 97 computer in your 94 and it hasn't been programmed for a stick then you don't know what you are missing. I just tried this and it ran and shifted like crap.

The only thing wrong with the 94 pcm is that it doesn't allow use of the obd2 port. It is obd compliant though. Ford did that on purpose to keep people from tampering the first year. I worked for Ford in 95 and remember it well.
