Diesel Performance Parts for Ford 7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L and 6.7L Power Stroke. Fuel
injection, factory replacement and high performance parts.
Ford entered into the light truck diesel market in the early 80's
with their Navistar 6.9L and 7.3L IDI naturally aspirated V8 engines which were
a huge success for Ford. In 1994 they released the 210 hp Navistar 7.3L
Power Stroke engine. Navistar utilized an advanced Hydraulically
Activated, Electronically Controlled Unit
Injector, or "HEUI" for short. Although this unique
fuel system seemed years ahead of it's time, it had already been proven in the
heavy truck market by the time Ford got their hands on it. In 1999, the 7.3L
received an intercooler and changes were made to the turbo and injectors. In
2001, we saw power increase to 250-275 hp. The first major modifications to
the Ford Power Stroke were made in 2003 with the arrival of the 325 hp 6.0L
Power Stroke, and the 7.3L was officially discontinued in 2004. A Variable Geometry
Turbocharger (VGT), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Overhead Valves (OHV)
were utilized on the new 6.0L to keep up with emissions demands. 2008 saw the
arrival of the 350 hp 6.4L Twin-Turbo Common Rail engine. Advanced emissions
make it one of the cleanest running diesel engines ever produced, but owners
still report poor fuel mileage. In 2011 Ford introduced the 6.7L "Scorpion"
which is the first Power Stroke engine to utilize the Bosch Common Rail injection
system.
