I have to weigh in on this one. I own an 96 PowerStroke and these engines are diffrent than any outher diesel out there bar non! With that said hears the deal. An inline 6 will have more low end get up than a V8, But the V8 has more top end than the 6 so its hard to compare the two. The bug shield on a powerstroke will choke off the air supply like a dampper on a wood stove, Close it and the fire gose down open it and it roars! Same thing on the engine. The most fickle thing about a powerstroke is the engine oil, The Powerstroke uses oil pressure to run the high pressure pump so the oil used needs to be able to stand up to hydrolic pressure and tempature as well as to lubrocate the engine and have a good anti-foaming agent in it. So the oil is so importante in theses engines in order to run right. I am not going to say what oil to use because I am tired of being told that I am full of it and I dont know what I am talking about. I can tell you that if you put the oil for a new Cummins or Duramax in the Powerstroke it WILL NOT RUN RIGHT. Thats enough said about oil. With any engine it makes a big diffrence on how they were maintaned, Not just oil and filters. If you are realy interested in the truck take it to someone and have them hook it to a good code scaner for a diesel and have them run a full diagnostic check on it and see if there is anything wrong with it. As with any truck you look at its up to you to make up your mind. Bandit
