1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums To be on the safe side ask the guys on this page.
However, if I understand correctly, you have a `94 Power Stroke with a solid flywheel and you want to fit that flywheel to a `97 Power Stroke which has a bad dual mass flywheel. Don`t see why not provided you swap the clutch as well. But ask the guys on that other page.

To the OP, the single mass flywheel is far superior to the dual mass. There is a reason Ford switched back to the single mass in '99. The dual mass flywheel was a mistake. It failed often and causes weird vibrations after some miles. The single mass flywheel will last much longer and is more dependable.
To answer your question, yes you can switch to the single mass flywheel.

I said I was unsure & hoped he would verify w/ some kind or "reputable" source & let us know for sure. Who could have guessed you were lurking under the bridge or this expertise?
My question to you is," How did that bug get so far up there w/o some sort of special breathing apparatus?" I would think a journey that long & "full" of obstacles & obstructions, would surely "kill a mortal bug!!!!

Flywheels are not my best or favorite subject. But careful consideration is alway's a good choice.

Your right, I should know better by now. He got my goat! My bad! It was kinda fun for a moment, but completely unproductive & irreverent. So that's what it's like "on the dark side"?

pretty much on these powerstrokes the clutch system is really easy. if the OP has a SMF for a '94.5-'97 POWERSTROKE then he can use it as long as he uses the different clutch disc and pressure plate as well. the pilot bearing and throwout bearings both stay the same as stock. so the solid flywheel he is switching to should be a 13" flywheel vs. the 11" DMF he had previously. can use clutch discs and pressure plates from LUK or Valair inc for the SMF.
