No it's not a Powerstroke, the Powerstroke wasn't until 1994.5.

It's known as an IDI (Indirect Injected).

It's no powerhouse, it'll get you there ...

Personally, I prefer it to the Powerstroke, Some do, some don't!

They are all mechanical so no computers, easy to work on, parts are fairly inexpensive.
Example:
Injectors for an IDI (NON Powerstroke) = about $20 bux each!
Injectors for an DI (Powerstroke) = about $300 bux each!

-Enjoy

They are very reliable but way down on power compared to the powerstroke and don't compare to a new PS.

It will pull a house down but it will take all day. They are slow engines but they have decent power
