No difference in fuel mileage and not a huge difference in pulling power either.
Big difference is some of the power-train upgrades. Powerstroke has some HD upgrades to the trans, torque converter, mounts, etc. if an E40D.
But, even if it's NOT a Powerstroke, the IDI trans may have been upgraded by now, and can be just about as strong.
For an older truck, I prefer the IDI. Much cheaper to buy parts for and easier to work on. That being said, I'd have to say the Powerstroke is a slightly better-built rig. If I had my choice of either truck new, I'd take the Powerstroke. But used? I'd take the IDI version. Cheaper to maintain.
I can buy a brand new injector for the IDI for $25. New, not rebuilt. Same for the Powerstroke - $200 for one injector. Similar price differences on some other parts.
