Detroit 6.0 Power Stroke Repair

The 6.0L Power Stroke replaced the reliable, proven 7.3L in the 2004 model year (the 7.3L and 6.0L were both offered for the 2003 MY). A new engine design was necessary to meet stricter emissions regulations while maintaining Ford and International's competitive edge in the market. At the time of its introduction, the engine was revolutionary; quicker turbo response, highly advanced, and more powerful than its the 7.3 turbo Power Stroke it replaced. The 6.0 Power Stroke produced 500 lb-ft. At 325 hp and 560 lb-ft, the clear industry leader. Unfortunately, the 6.0 turbo Power Stroke engine was recalled numerous times to fulfill technical service bulletins. The 6.0L and its problems seems to be hit and miss. Most trucks currently on the road have received the proper repairs and/or updated parts, and aren't as prone to failure. It seems the 6.0L Power Stroke's problems are in reliability, not longevity as the engine has been on the road for millions of miles and has proven that with proper repairs it can go for hundreds of thousands of miles. Some common problems with the 6.0 Power Stroke are the head bolts failing, EGR and EGR cooler failure, Oil cooler failure, Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) Failure, Injection Control Pressure (ICP) Sensor failure, Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) Sensor failure, Hydraulically Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injector (HEUI) failure, High Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) failure, Turbocharger Lag, Sticking VGT Vanes, Turbocharger Failure, Wire Harness Fraying and Damage, Oil Rail and Plug Leaking, and Coolant leakage

  • 6.7 Power Stroke Repair

The 6.7L Power Stroke is the first Power Stroke diesel engine developed by Ford. After so many problems with the International/Navistar developed engines, Ford changed directions and brought it's Power Stroke development in house. At this point, we've seen plenty of the 6.7 Power Stroke's in the shop, but mostly for maintenance. One issue we've found with the 2012 and 2013 6.7L Power Stroke powered Super Duty is a definite shake that occurs when towing heavy loads that within Ford recommended capacities. We've experienced it with 2012 model year F350 in single and dual wheel axles as well as 2013 single rear wheel axles. The shaking in these cases was caused by the angle front to rear of the rear-end. Ford may have this issue in their computers by now. We've been told that shimming to change the pitch does take the shake out, although you shouldn't expect 100% of the shake to disappear. Ford advised at the time that it doesn't risk damaging the vehicle. Your call. More to come...
