Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 Power Stroke?

They are three successive Super Duty diesel V8s: the 6.0 Power Stroke (2003–2007), the twin-turbo 6.4 Power Stroke (2008–2010) and the Ford-designed 6.7 Power Stroke (2011–present). Ford-rated peak output rose from 325 hp / 570 lb-ft to 350 hp / 650 lb-ft and, in the latest 6.7, 500 hp / 1,200 lb-ft.

What are the most common Power Stroke problems?

Each generation has its own well-documented weak point: cp4 high-pressure fuel pump failure on the 6.7 Power Stroke; head gasket failure and torque-to-yield head bolts on the 6.0 Power Stroke. The engine pages list affected years, symptoms and what to check before buying.

Is the 7.3 Godzilla a Power Stroke?

No. The 2020–present 7.3-liter V8 nicknamed "Godzilla" is a gasoline engine; the Power Stroke name belongs to Ford’s diesels. The original 7.3L Power Stroke was a turbo-diesel sold from the 1994.5 to 2003 model years.
