Dealing with 6.0L Powerstroke intercooler boots that keep leaking? Ain't nobody got time for that... Upgrade them! With the Riffraff Diesel Complete CAC Intercooler Boot Kit What Makes These Boots Di

A bad rear axle speed sensor can cause a lot more than a dead speedometer on a 1994–2003 7.3L Powerstroke. The rear VSS signal is used for vehicle speed, ABS operation, and automatic-transmission shif

The 6.0L Powerstroke gets blamed for everything. Some of it is fair. Some of it is just people ignoring $40 problems until they turn into $4,000 problems. Not every fix needs head studs, an EGR cooler

Older Powerstrokes are great because they’re simple, durable, and still worth fixing. The downside? Some of the factory parts are getting harder to find, more expensive, discontinued, obsolete, or rep

If you’ve got oil pooling in the 7.3 engine valley (under the fuel bowl/HPOP area), the HPOP is always on the suspect list—especially the rear/end plug and the high-pressure discharge fittings. You ca

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS) on the 7.3L Powerstroke is a Hall-effect sensor mounted on the front of the engine, positioned just above the harmonic balancer near the 11 o’clock orientation. This

Ford’s stock 6.0L fuel system is what’s known as a “deadhead” system. Fuel enters one side of the head and hits a dead end at the other end, which contributes to hotter fuel at the rear of the heads,

The 7.3 Powerstroke Econoline turbo inlet hose is specific to the van only. The E-Series intake layout is different from an F-Series truck, and the hose shape is different too. Riffraff’s replacement

Riffraff is a term for the common people, or hoi polloi. The term is derived from Old French “rif et raf” meaning "one and all, every bit."

The factory 6.0L Powerstroke EGR cooler is a common failure point, especially when the oil cooler plugs and restricts coolant flow to the EGR cooler. When that happens, owners may see coolant loss, wh

When building or modifying a 6.0L Powerstroke diesel (2004.5–2006 Ford Super Duty), reliability upgrades often focus on major systems like head gaskets, the oil cooler, and EGR components. However, on

The Cam Position Sensor (CPS) on all 7.3L Powerstrokes can be its Achilles heel. This sensor tells the PCM where exactly the rotating mass is in its journey. Without it, or with one that isn’t working

Injectors are not all built the same, especially for the 7.3. Sizing varies year by year, and for a few, based on the location sold, too. Split shots, single shots, hybrids, AB, AD, 238/80, there's so

The ICP sensor is one of the more important sensors on a 7.3L Powerstroke, and also one of the easier ones to diagnose. ICP stands for Injection Control Pressure. The sensor is threaded into the high-

The 7.3L Power Stroke’s HEUI system runs on high-pressure oil, and the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) controlls how much oil the HPOP actually sends to the injectors. When the IPR is happy, the tr

Stripped out HPOP mounting bolts on your 7.3 Powerstroke? Don't worry, it's extremely common and no, you don't need to hunt for a new-to-you front cover (although our billet front cover is pretty neat

The 7.3L Powerstroke engine uses a HEUI (Hydraulically Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injector) fuel injection system. This means that the fuel injectors are actually fired by highly pressuri

Assuming no outside factors like accidents or racing are involved, the life and death of a truck is based on maintenance. Good diesel truck maintenance is what keeps it on the road for several hundred

Diagnosing issues with the 7.3L or 6.0L Powerstroke engines is not necessarily easy. Teaching you how to be a diagnostic pro is not realistically possible through this one article (that takes years of

When Ford released the 6.0L Powerstroke back in 2003, it was a game-changer. The engine outperformed any diesel on the market in both throttle response and peak horsepower. A big reason for this was t
