Ford 2.8 liter powerstroke diesel?

I live in El Salvador and just looked at buying a new 2007 Ford Ranger with a 2.8 liter powerstroke diesel engine. I own a 2004 6.0 powerstroke and just love it, but didn't even know they made this 2.8 engine. I'm trying to find out how long this engine has been in production and it's track record to date. I have not found any information what so ever on web,does anyone have info about this engine?
