The Ram pickup offers a Turbo Diesel engine. It is one of the few that hs that option.
Most commercial trucks are equipped with 6 cylinder turbo diesel engines
In 1992 the only diesel engine ford offered in it's F250/350 trucks was the 7.3 IDI naturally aspirated diesel. It wasn't a powerstroke engine. Powerstroke engines were introduced in 1994 and were direct injection diesel engines. A 1992 7.3 IDI did not have a turbo.
This is currently by far the most common design for diesel engines in Autos and over the road trucks in both Europe and North America
Turbo Diesel
Yes
Most diesel engines are turbodiesels, and the whistling is the sound of the turbo spooling up as it creates boost.
Ford began using turbo diesel engines in 1993. Eleven years earlier, they introduced their first diesel engines for light duty vehicles.
The 6.9 engine in the Ford trucks was an International/Navistar diesel, and was never built with a turbo. The 7.3 Was introduced with a turbo in the early 90's.
A turbo that is specifically for use on gasoline engines (as opposed to diesel).
Engines with longer piston stroke, higher turbo boost pressures, and diesel fuel has more energy in it than gasoline.
The answer is yes and no. If the engine is turbo diesel then yes it is a good diesel engine. If there is no turbo do not rely on this engine. The non-turbo engines are almost like a human without lungs and they do not perform at peak levels. Although the German engineers can pull off most anything... I do not recommend the non-turbo engines. The turbo engines can go into the 300,000 mile markers if the engine is maintained well and you might end up having to change the turbo at the 250,000 thousand marker.
yes all powerstroke engines are turbo
