The acronym T444E stands for Turbocharged, 444 cubic inch displacement, Electronically Controlled. The Powerstroke was manufactured by Navistar International and based on their T444E engine. Not to be confused with the earlier 7.3L International Harvester IDI, the new 7.3L Powerstroke varied greatly from its predecessor with the bore and stroke being the only thing they had in common. Five years after Dodge sent shockwaves through the industry by putting a Cummins under the hood, Ford countered with the Powerstroke. The 6.9L/7.3L diesel offerings by Ford were reliable engines but the power levels paled compared to the 6BT Cummins. With Dodge and Cummins partnering up in 1989, it changed the entire landscape of the heavy-duty truck market and forced Ford and GM to play catch up. Introduced during the 1994 model year, the 7.3L Powerstroke is still one of the most sought-after Ford powerplants ever produced. One option that really raises the overall desirability and value is the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel engine.
