Every Generation of Power Stroke Has Its Own Story

Ford has put several very different diesel engines under the Power Stroke name over the years, and knowing the difference between them matters when it comes to diagnosing problems and keeping them maintained correctly. The 7.3 Power Stroke is widely regarded as one of the most durable diesel engines ever put in a pickup truck and responds well to basic preventive maintenance. The 6.0 Power Stroke is a capable engine that earned a difficult reputation largely due to EGR cooler failures and oil cooler issues that, when addressed correctly, can be resolved for good. The 6.4 has its own cooling system and fuel system sensitivities. The 6.7, Ford’s in-house design, is a strong modern diesel with its own emissions system requirements that need to be serviced correctly to keep the truck out of reduced power mode. We know the differences and service each generation accordingly.

Good Questions Deserve Straight Answers.

We have heard just about everything. If you are wondering about it, chances are someone else was too.

What are the most common problems with Ford Power Stroke diesel trucks?

The answer varies significantly by generation. The 6.0 Power Stroke is the most frequently discussed, with EGR cooler failures, oil cooler clogging, and head gasket issues being the most common concerns. Many of these problems are interconnected and stem from the cooling system not being maintained correctly, and addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms is what makes the repairs last. The 6.4 is known for fuel dilution of the engine oil from DPF regeneration cycles and requires more frequent oil changes as a result. The 6.7 sees issues with the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump on certain model years, EGR system buildup, and DPF related faults on trucks used primarily for short trips. The 7.3, by contrast, is remarkably straightforward and most of its issues at high mileage come down to deferred maintenance rather than design flaws.

Is the 6.0 Power Stroke really as problematic as its reputation suggests?

The 6.0 has a reputation that is somewhat deserved but also somewhat overblown. The engine does have genuine design vulnerabilities, particularly around the EGR cooler and oil cooler, and trucks that were not maintained correctly or that suffered from deferred repairs developed cascading problems that gave the engine its difficult reputation. However, a 6.0 that has been properly serviced, had the cooling system addressed, and had the EGR cooler and oil cooler upgraded or replaced correctly is a capable and reliable engine. We have worked on plenty of 6.0 trucks that run well and continue to serve their owners dependably. The key is knowing what the engine needs and addressing it proactively rather than waiting for failures to stack up.

How often should the oil be changed on a Ford 6.4 Power Stroke?

The 6.4 Power Stroke requires more frequent oil changes than most diesel engines due to fuel dilution from the DPF regeneration process. During active regeneration, a small amount of diesel fuel is introduced into the exhaust stream to burn off accumulated soot in the particulate filter, and some of that fuel finds its way into the engine oil, thinning it and lowering its flash point over time. Ford recommends oil changes every 10,000 miles on the 6.4, but many diesel technicians and experienced 6.4 owners prefer a shorter interval of 5,000 to 7,500 miles to compensate for the fuel dilution that accumulates between changes. We check oil condition on every 6.4 that comes through and give you an honest recommendation based on what we find.
