Check the door sticker for the axle codes to see what gears it has in it.

The 7.3 Indirect Injection (IDI), and it's thicker-walled but otherwise identical brother the 6.9 IDI, is NOT the same engine as the 7.3 Powerstroke (PSD). Entirely different designs.Quote:

I have 400,000 on my 2000, still going strong. Will need transmission next 100,000 or so. Planning on engine rebuild around 600,000. Best thing since sliced bread.

Ford half tons have IFS, but the 3/4 & 1 tons don't unless you buy a 2WD model. Chevy is the only one of the big three that will put IFS on a 4WD heavy duty truck.Quote:
