FAQs

The Power Stroke Diesel story began in 1982, when the Ford Motor Company made a decision that would transform their Super Duty® pickups into the most highly regarded and hottest-selling trucks in America.


6.9L — 1982–1993 Model Years


That first power plant, the 6.9L Indirect Injection (IDI) engine, featured a modest 170 HP and 315 lb.-ft. of torque. The truck world eagerly greeted that very first Power Stroke diesel.


7.3L — 1988–1993 Model Years


Soon after came the next-generation Ford Super Duty truck with the amazing 7.3L IDI diesel engine.


7.3L — 1994–2003 Model Years


The 7.3L was reborn revolutionizing the diesel truck industry, with not just the addition of an all-new turbocharger, Direct Injection (DI), and incredible new power, but also the birth of the Power Stroke name.


6.0L — 2003–2007 Model Years


The next-generation 6.0L Power Stroke introduced variable geometry turbocharger technology, exhaust gas recirculation system, and advanced second-generation fuel injection system.


6.4L — 2007–2010 Model Years


A new 6.4L diesel with twin turbochargers and high-pressure common rail fuel injection, this engine’s cutting-edge technology pumped out an amazing 350 HP @ 3000 RPM with a peak torque output of 650 lb.-ft. at just 2000 RPM.


6.7L — 2011–Current Model Year


A built-from-scratch, state-of-the-art 6.7L Power Stroke® diesel included Instant Start glow plugs, a new lightweight compacted graphite iron engine block, aluminum cylinder heads, and piston-cooling jets for longer engine life.
