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 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-

ARP head studs are one of the most common reliability upgrades for Ford Powerstroke diesel engines because they increase cylinder head clamping force. More clamping force helps keep the head gasket se

The 6.0L Powerstroke has a lot of famous problems, but the EOT/ECT delta is one of the easiest ways to catch trouble before it gets expensive. Bad numbers here can lead to failures across the board. T

The 5R110 TorqShift used behind the 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke is a strong transmission, but just like anything else, it's not bullet proof and will need repair from time to time. Fluid, electrical, h

The 7.3L Powerstroke will usually drag the trailer wherever you point it. The 4R100 however, needs a little more respect. It is not a bad transmission by any means, but heat, old fluid, weak cooler ca

The 7.3 Powerstroke’s HEUI injection system relies on oil pressure to fire the injectors. Unlike most light duty diesel injection systems on the road today, where the pump (CP3, CP4, VE, VP, etc) crea

At a glance, a 7.3L Powerstroke in an Econoline looks like the same engine found in an F-250 or F-350. For the most part, it is. The problem starts with everything Ford had to change to stuff that eng

Just like our 7.3 recall list, on this 6.0L recall list, we’ll concentrate on drivetrain related recalls and include links to documents where we can find them. Some recalls listed on the NHTSA site ha

The 6.0L Powerstroke is not the engine you diagnose with hopes, guesses, and a Facebook comment that starts with “my buddy’s did that.” A good scan tool is mandatory. Not just for codes, but for live

The 6.0L Powerstroke doesn’t always need cab-off surgery to run better. Sometimes it just needs the weak links fixed before they turn into expensive problems. Before you jump straight to head studs, E

The 6.0L Powerstroke gets blamed for a lot of things, but vacuum issues are usually not engine-performance problems. They’re usually 4x4 hub problems, HVAC mode problems, or electrical/vacuum control

The Banjo and Hutch (aka Hutch and Harpoon) mod were one of the first "budget" mods for the 7.3L Powerstroke. The Harpoon mod when done, allows for more complete fuel fill up's by removing a portion o

A 7.3L Powerstroke that cranks but won’t start does not automatically need a cam sensor, injectors, or an HPOP. It needs diagnosis. The 7.3 is simple compared to newer diesels, but it still needs four

The High-Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) is the heart of the HEUI (Hydraulically Actuated, Electronically Controlled Unit Injector) fuel injection system used on both the 7.3L and 6.0L Powerstroke. When the

A 7.3L Powerstroke can make a simple leak look like a much bigger problem. Fuel in the coolant? Oil in the fuel bowl? White smoke? Hard start? Miss? Coolant puking? Random rough running after injector

“If your Ford isn’t leaking oil, it’s time to add more oil.” It’s a common saying, and as far as we’re concerned, it’s false. At least for the 7.3 HPOP. Leaks from the high pressure oil system are com

A good scan tool can save you a pile of money if you know what numbers actually matter. Codes are useful, but live data is where the 7.3 starts telling on itself. Hard start, no-start, low power, smok

The 6.0L Powerstroke gets accused of having bad injectors every time it coughs, smokes, cranks too long, idles rough, or wakes up angry in the cold. Sometimes, yes, it really is injectors. The 6.0 is
