Powerstrokes are ahh blah. All new diesels IMO are ahhh blah. They have too much emission control systems that are sucking power and mileage from them.
And if you want to get a diesel to drop in your truck skip the powerstroke. Go for a Cummins 12v they are hands and feet better than Powerstroke or duramax.
I see there are 2 types of people on this site, people that buy their crap, and people that build what they want.

I've built both my trucks to how i want them. I've paid my money for both, and done all installation myself. Yes, I'm still not done with them, and yes i want to do a lot more but I'm still in high school dude, don't tell me I don't build my trucks. I didn't say he had to buy a brand new one either. Get a used diesel, they go for YEARS.
AND, as for emissions control, mine has none, its a '95, thanks.
AND, as for a cummins, yea they are great motors, but the technology that's put around them is total JUNK. Dodge ruins those trucks by putting the pieces of crap that they produce all around that motor. If he were to drop a diesel motor into the F150, I would definately say go with a cummins or 7.3 liter powerstroke, that way there's no problems.
But i still believe the 2004- up body style with lifts ont hem look sick! (yes i know it's 2 different body styles, the new ones look good to)
