Fun Fact about the first Ford turbo diesel (the 1993 7.3L IDI Turbo Diesel): 🔥 It was Ford’s first-ever factory turbo diesel, but it wasn’t actually built by Ford! Instead, it was developed by International Harvester (Navistar) and added a turbocharger to the existing 7.3L IDI engine. 💨 However, it wasn’t a “true” Power Stroke yet! The real legend—the 7.3L Power Stroke—arrived in 1994 with direct injection and electronic controls, setting the stage for Ford’s domination in diesel truck performance. 🚛 Why the turbo? Ford needed extra power to compete with Dodge’s newly released 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel (1989) and GM’s 6.5L Detroit Diesel Turbo (1992). The IDI Turbo made 190 hp and 388 lb-ft of torque—not much by today’s standards, but a big step for Ford at the time! 🔺#alumiduty x #truckranch 🔺F250 LARIAT AVAILABLE AT TR AF🏔️ #truckranch #trucksofinstagram #ford #fordtrucks #f250 #superduty #superdutyf250 #fordf250superduty #turbodiesel #powerstroke #fordperformance #trucks...
