This guy assures me it is a IDIT. But just to be sure would anyone else have insight into a easy tell of the diff between the IDIT and powerstroke?
As I said....IF THIS engine your going to look at has an IP just like yours...it's and IDI if it doesn't....it ISNT!
If it was me, and my rig,I"d swap the turbo engine complete with the Serp belt setup. modify your harness to work with it!
#1 you get a 3G alternator with internal regulation and much higher output at low RPM than stock.
#2 you ONLY have to carry 1 SPARE belt.
#3 You only need a single socket and ratchet to change said belt....imagine side of busy highway...cold wet rainy/snowy night your ps alt or one of the vbelts blows off...you gotta fool with loosening off adjusments of up to two other devices...be it ALT or ALT and PS....different sockets...different tools...
ONE TOOL ONE BELT! So long as your Idler and adjuster are in good condition your golden...replace those and the belt upon install throw old ones in behind seat for spares. YOU ARE SET!
But this is just my rational....it does not have to be yours....
