    1988 ford 7.3 IDI sluggish up hills

    That would be Motorcraft glow plugs made in Beru (believe Germany). Otherwise don't try to cheap out with other brands, they don't last, swell and can break off inside the cylinder when being removed. Oilburners.net will get you a good running engine but they don't push the limits. Ford.com...

    Ford Diesel (pre-powerstroke)

    Mufflers and Cats
