Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / August 20067.3 liter Diesel
Does anyone recall what year the 7.3 liter became available in the E-350? I seem to recall that the 6.9-liter first debuted with the '86MY and I don't think it was around that long. If you know, please reply. 1994?

Note, that doesn't specify whether it's specific to an E or F series vehicle, nor does it take into account the 7.3 PSD (which I think was introduced in 1995). http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=46026 >> Does anyone recall what year the 7.3 liter became available in the E-350?

Ford switched from the 6.9 liter to the non-turbocharged 7.3 liter IDI (indirect injection) in 1988. 1988-1991 - 7.3 L International Harvester IDI Diesel V8, 180 hp 1992-1996 - 7.3 L Turbo IDI Diesel V8, 190 hp/395 ft.lbf 1995-1996 - 7.3 L Power Stroke turbo-Diesel V8, 210 hp/425 ft.lbf There is an excellent article on the F-series Fords in the Online Encyclopaedia WIKIPEDIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-Series >Ford switched from the 6.9 liter to the non-turbocharged 7.3 liter IDI >(indirect injection) in 1988. >1988-1991 - 7.3 L International Harvester IDI Diesel V8, 180 hp >1992-1996 - 7.3 L Turbo IDI Diesel V8, 190 hp/395 ft.lbf >1995-1996 - 7.3 L Power Stroke turbo-Diesel V8, 210 hp/425 ft.lbf Here is the numbers that I have come up with cross refernced for two different sources fr ford engine from 1986 till 2006. I tweak it when I find data the supports otherwise. http://forum.snoman.com/viewtopic.php?t=69 ----------------- The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com > >> Ford switched from the 6.9 liter to the non-turbocharged 7.3 liter IDI [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > www.thesnoman.com > Nice job! As often as this question, and others like it come up, it'd be nice if the Ford Website maintained such an easy to use reference. >Nice job!

I actually have engine data going back to about 1960 for all detriot products including Jeep and IH. I plan to go further back when I have the time to do it and update it when I get 07 data. ----------------- The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com "Agave" <idon't@thinkso.com> wrote in.com... >>> Ford switched from the 6.9 liter to the non-turbocharged 7.3 liter IDI >>> (indirect injection) in 1988. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> ----------------- >> The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com It seems to me that Herb Ludwig's dates are right and that snowman can also be right, because it depends wether the dates are based on model years or calendar years. Some Ford models were actually on the market a year before the actual calendar year started! (e.g. in Jan 04 started selling 2005 models etc.). Besides, The Wikipedia Encyclopaedia confirms the Herb Ludwig dates. >"Agave" <idon't@thinkso.com> wrote in.com... >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >models etc.). Besides, The Wikipedia Encyclopaedia confirms the Herb Ludwig >dates. I get my data froma very large library of sevice manuals I have that I can cross referance. Also some sources do not mention that both the 7.3 and 6.0 were offered in 2003, but they were. ----------------- The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com > "Agave" <idon't@thinkso.com> wrote in.com... > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > I think the 'correct' answer depends a lot upon the specific question. For example, if you're looking for parts or specs you need to rely on the shop manuals (and the like) for the model year (taking into account, in some cases, model year variations); whereas, if you're looking for when a vehicle was put in production, then the marketing materials (etc.) relying on the calendar year would be appropriate. However, if it's a bar bet, then either, both, or neither could be the correct answer :) FWIW, and I really like Wikipedia and use it often, it is not a 100% authoritative source for all topics. That being said, I read the Wiki article referenced; it's good and does seem accurate (from my experience) for production year information. |
