Powerstroke "tune-up"
Hi folks, a newbie here
 I have an 96 F250 with the PS engine and it has about 280,000kms on it. I'm on my third transmission and I've had a number of igniter's replaced and the normal filters and oil changes, but aside from that the engine has never had a wrench on it. Nothing I can really put my finger on but I feel that the engine is not putting out the power it once did. I'm not too interested in putting on a lot of after market enhancers but I would be like to take it into a reputable powerstroke mechanic and have him do a complete engine tune up. I have know idea what the tune up would involve and I'd appreciated anyone that does know filling me in  Thanks!

 I would start by getting it read for any codes. (compression test, maybe?)  Normal RPM's? Normal MPG'S? I'm sure these guys here will be able to help you out more though. You're in the right place!! Most of the guys here know their stuff. That being said, Igniters?=Injectors? Igniters makes me think spark plugs. REAL TRUCKS DON'T HAVE SPARKPLUGS!!   Good Luck! chris

check the stretch/rubber bushings on your throttle cable. make sure you are getting wide-open throttle. Carpet and floor mats can get in the way also.
I had a few early nineties 7.3's and had to replace timers and glow plugs(igniters?) quite often.
