'87 to '93 were the best years. Paid $2000 & everything works & no stickers to remove. Came from a small firehouse & was their backup. get about 17mpg on the freeway running 75. I also own the last month the made the 12 valve non computer 5.9 Cummins. Both engines I can buy the injectors for under $300 per engine so I know where the name powerstrke or at least the STROKE came from as a set of injectores are OVER $3000 for a 7.3 powerSTROKE. Here's a good article on your engine https://autowise.com/ford-diesel-engine-history/   Good Luck!

Sound efficient if low powered, at least as compared with todays $10K 1,000 ft lbs of torque monsters that you need both an extended warranty and a fat wallet to own.  My brother just dumped a very problematic 2014 Dmax for a new 2020 Ram Cummins, but he’s just “paying to play” big time.
