6.7L POWER STROKE SPECS & INFORMATION

Codenamed the Scorpion during its developmental stage, the 6.7L Power Stroke is Ford’s in-house built diesel engine for the Ford Super Duty. Ford chose to design, engineer, and produce its own diesel engine to maintain profitability and a competitive edge in the growing diesel segment.

This is the first Power Stroke not manufactured by long time partner, International Navistar. The absence of a partner seems to have given Ford an advantage over competitors, granting them the freedom to design an engine that fits their specific needs and the needs of their customers. Additionally, it streamlines the warranty process, which was partially responsible for souring the relationship between Ford and International in regards to problems with the 6.0L. The Ford, International partnership lasted nearly 30 years, but Ford seems to be doing just fine on their own.

As with any new engine, potential truck buyers initially questioned the platform’s reliability despite reports of extensive durability testing. Fortunately, Ford seems to have hit a home run with the 6.7L, which impresses in the departments of performance, fuel economy, reliability, and as we’re slowly finding out, longevity. Over 500,000 6.7L Power Strokes were sold in the engine’s first three years of production.The 6.7L Power Stroke initially employed a unique single sequential turbocharger (SST) which features a dual compressor and single turbine setup affixed to a common shaft. The unit was replaced by a single Garrett GT37 variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) for the 2015 model year, subsequently increasing horsepower and torque in combination with additional upgrades. The SST returned to the Power Stroke for the completely revised 2017 model year Super Duty; torque reached an all time high at 925 lb-ft. Both horsepower and torque were once again increased for the 2018 model year, peaking at 450 hp and 935 lb-ft, respectively. Ford suggests that software adjustments, cylinder head improvements, and increased turbocharger boost are responsible for the increases.Also unique is the engine’s exhaust and intake manifold designs. As opposed to a tradition V engine, the intake and exhaust flows are reversed – the intake manifolds are located on the outer deck of the cylinder head and the exhaust manifolds exit directly into the engine valley where the turbocharger is mounted. The unique exhaust flow design is said to increase thermal efficiency of the turbocharger.

* Ford increased horsepower and torque through a free dealer reflash shortly following the introduction of the engine. The first Super Duty’s sold featured the early 390 horsepower engine rating. Because of the flash update, very few engines likely exist with the original programming.
