Learning About The History Of The Ford Power Stroke Diesel - History Lesson
|
In 2003, the Power Stroke was reintroduced as a drastically revised 6.0L. The reduction in displacement was to boost fuel economy and the addition of four-valve cylinder heads would provide greater performance compared to the outgoing 7.3. NVH was reduced by incorporating many tricks, such as a new piston design for a much quieter and smoother engine. The new variable geometry turbo helped reduce turbo lag and the second generation injectors controlled the fuel more precisely. Power was now rated at 325 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque and in the process, it put many smiles on people's faces. The 6.0L powered the F-series until 2007 and is still in service in Ford vans and cab chassis. View Related Article
