Known for durability. With age, injector O-rings, the camshaft position sensor, high-pressure oil leaks and glow plugs are the usual work. See engine repair.

KRP Lodi is opening soon.
From the 7.3 to today's 6.7, every Power Stroke has its own strengths and its own weak points. KRP's diesel technicians service all of them across our North Jersey shops, on Super Duty pickups, vans and half-ton F-150s.
We handle the full range of diesel work on Ford trucks: fuel filters and water separators, DEF and emissions systems, DPF and EGR service, injectors, turbochargers, glow plugs, cooling systems and the transmissions behind them. The truck in the photo is an F-250 Super Duty wearing its Power Stroke badge at our Franklin shop.
The single most useful thing to know about a Power Stroke is which one you have. Each generation behaves differently, so here is the short guide. For everything else on the truck, see our Ford page.
Six engines have worn the Power Stroke name in Ford trucks and vans.
Known for durability. With age, injector O-rings, the camshaft position sensor, high-pressure oil leaks and glow plugs are the usual work. See engine repair.
Its weak points are well documented: a clogged oil cooler that leads to EGR cooler failure, head gaskets, and the injector control module. Monitoring oil and coolant temperatures together tells us a lot. See cooling system.
The first Power Stroke with a diesel particulate filter. Radiators, EGR coolers and exhaust up-pipes are the usual service items. See exhaust system.
Built by Ford with DEF and SCR emissions systems. The high-pressure fuel pump on earlier 6.7s is sensitive to water and contaminated fuel, so fuel filter service matters. See diagnostics.
A V6 diesel for the half-ton truck, with the same DEF and particulate filter systems as its bigger brothers.
An inline five-cylinder in the Transit van. See our Transit diesel page.
Follow Ford's schedule for your engine, and sooner if you buy fuel from low-volume stations or see a water-in-fuel warning. Many Power Strokes run two filters. We replace both and drain the water separator.
Short trips, a sensor fault or a partially blocked particulate filter. We read the regeneration data and test the sensors before recommending anything. See exhaust system.
Yes. We diagnose them carefully, starting with oil and coolant temperatures, so you know whether you are looking at an oil cooler, an EGR cooler or a head gasket problem. See engine repair.
Most repairs at KRP Automotive are guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle. If you pay for a repair at our shop, you shouldn’t have to pay for it again, that’s our promise at all four open New Jersey locations.
