Actually second gen was 94 - 98 1/2 and come with the P7100 pump. They were one of the most dependable and longest lasting diesel trucks ever made IME. If the OP decides to go this route find one with a 5 speed of you want a low first gear. The Ford's with the 7.3 were rockstars as well but are spendy when injectors go out.
