Serving Clifton, Franklin, Hawthorne & Newton, NJ, plus Lodi opening soon
KRP Lodi is opening soon.
From 2015 to 2019, the Ford Transit was offered with a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel, and many are still hard at work as cargo vans, shuttles and box trucks. KRP services them across our North Jersey shops.
The 3.2 Power Stroke is an inline five-cylinder diesel, different from the V8s in Ford's Super Duty Power Stroke trucks. It is a strong engine for a van, with modern emissions equipment that needs looking after, especially on delivery routes full of short trips.
The Transit in our photo is a cutaway box truck on the alignment rack at our Franklin shop. For gasoline Transits and the rest of the lineup, see our Ford page.
Four areas that keep a diesel Transit on the road.
Injectors, the EGR cooler and turbo are the main engine service items. A misfire or smoke deserves a proper diagnosis rather than a parts swap.
Related serviceStop-and-go routes make it hard for the particulate filter to clean itself. DEF heaters, pumps and NOx sensors are common faults.
Related serviceDiesel fuel picks up water. Draining the separator and replacing the filter on schedule protects the injection system.
Related serviceHeavy loads and constant stops heat the transmission fluid. Fluid service matters more on a working van.
Related serviceNot in the U.S. Ford offered the 3.2 diesel in the Transit from 2015 to 2019. We continue to service them.
No. They share the name, but the 3.2 is an inline five-cylinder and a completely different engine from the 6.7 V8.
Usually a DEF heater, pump or sensor fault. We scan the system and test each part before replacing anything. See diagnostics.
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.
