FORD DIESEL TRUCK HISTORY & INFORMATION
The 7.3L Power Stroke® Diesel Engine. Here at Sonora Transmissions in Sonora, we have the diesel technicians, the training, the Ford OEM parts, and our team is cross-trained on many different kinds of diesel trucks so you get the advantage of experience. Trust our team to get to the heart of any problem you have with your Power Stroke diesel quickly and get you fixed up and back on the road working or playing. Our experience will make the difference and ensure you pay for only what you need to be done.
Power Stroke History
The Power Stroke® Diesel story began in 1982 when the Ford Motor Company made a decision that would transform their Super Duty® pickups into the most highly regarded and hottest-selling trucks in America. In pursuit of a whole new level of durability, power, torque, and capabilities, Ford partnered with International Truck and Engine Corporation or ITEC (later re-named Navistar, Incorporated) to create a new standard in diesel engine technology that would help redefine the industry.
That first power plant, the 6.9L Indirect Injection (IDI) engine, featured a modest 170 HP and 315 lb-ft of torque. The truck world eagerly greeted that very first Power Stroke® diesel. Not long after, came the next generation Ford Super Duty truck with the amazing 7.3L IDI diesel engine, produced from 1988-1993.
1994 - 2003 The First Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel —The Legendary 7.3L.
In 1994, the 7.3L diesel engine was reborn. This groundbreaking new power plant revolutionized the diesel truck industry, with not just the addition of an all-new turbocharged, Direct Injection (DI), an incredible new power, but the birth of the Power Stroke® name. Talk to our diesel technicians about service for your 7.3L Power Stroke!
7.3L features included a wastegate turbocharger, HUEI fuel injectors, and an air-to-air intercooler. The 7.3L engines were an instant hit in the trucking world. Production ran non-stop through early 2003. By that time, this engine's performance and durability had made the Power Stroke® name a legend among truckers.
Diesel Power Magazine ranked the 7.3L one of the top ten diesel engines ever produced. Today, over two million 7.3L engine-equipped Ford Trucks are still in operation – more than Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge diesel, combined. During its 9-year production run, the 7.3L was widely acknowledged as a leader in diesel engine technology.
2003 - 2007 A New 6.0L Power Stroke® Clears The Air
In 2003, the next-generation 6.0L Power Stroke® introduced Ford Truck customers to a new engine with more power and lower emissions than the 7.3L. With its variable geometry turbocharger technology, exhaust gas recirculation system, and advanced, second-generation fuel injection system, the new 6.0L was a groundbreaking engineering breakthrough. Talk to our diesel technicians about service for your 6.0L Power Stroke!
The result was a major increase in engine horsepower and torque (325 HP and 570 lb-ft), even with a drastic reduction in engine displacement. This was the first engine design driven by emissions requirements.
2007 - 2010 Clean, Quiet And In Command — The 6.4L Arrives.
The Power Stroke® diesel truck engine legend reached new heights in 2007, with the launch of a new 6.4L diesel. This engine's cutting-edge technology and reduced emissions pumped out an amazing 350 HP @ 3000 RPM with a peak torque output of 650 lb-ft at just 2000 RPM. Talk to our diesel technicians about service for your 6.4L Power Stroke!
Developed through more than 10 million miles of torturous durability testing, the 6.4L proved to be the quietest and cleanest Power Stroke® engine to date. Its twin turbochargers and high-pressure, common-rail fuel injection with piezoelectric fuel injectors also helped Ford Super Duty trucks meet the stringent 2007 diesel emissions requirements.
2011 The New, 2011 6.7L Power Stroke® Engine Arrives.
Ford Power Stroke® diesel truck engine technology has come a long way over the last three decades, but the party is far from over. For the 2011 model year, Ford is introducing an all-new, built-from-scratch, state-of-the-art 6.7L Power Stroke® diesel – and it's the most advanced diesel Ford has ever built. Talk to our diesel technicians about service for your 6.7L Power Stroke!
2019 6.7L Turbo-Diesel Power Stroke® Engine Arrives
The all-new 6.7L Power Stroke® V-8 turbocharged diesel engine will deliver significantly improved torque and horsepower as well as class-leading fuel economy, enhancing productivity and further strengthening the Super Duty's position as the class leader in towing and payload. B20-capable 6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel delivers 935 lb. ft. of torque plus best-in-class* 450 horsepower. The Power Stroke features a unique inverse-flow configuration: the exhaust manifolds and turbocharger are mounted between the cylinder heads above the engine block. This inboard configuration allows a large single turbocharger to be mounted closer to the exhaust manifolds for faster air displacement and more power. Another notable feature is the compacted graphite iron engine block that is stronger yet lighter than cast iron! Talk to our diesel technicians about service for your 6.L Turbo-Diesel Power Stroke, we are up-to-date on the diagnostics and service for these engines already and can provide warranty work for your truck without the dealer price tags!
Lighter, more powerful, and more fuel-efficient (as well as B20 fuel compatible), this engine, built-in Ford's Chihuahua, Mexico engine plant, takes diesel engineering to an entirely new level. New features include "Instant Start" glow plugs for quicker starts in even the coldest weather; a new, lightweight compacted graphite iron engine block (160 lbs lighter than the current 6.4L); aluminum cylinder heads (a Power Stroke® first); and piston-cooling jets for longer engine life.

DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE TRUCK SERVICE
Our Sonora drivers depend on their diesel trucks and the Duramax diesel in their Chevy or GMC pickup and our diesel technicians keep them running at peak performance by making sure we have their maintenance done on time. The Duramax diesel engine has been consistently improved by Chevrolet / GMC over the last couple of decades and is fairly bulletproof. This diesel engine by GM is nothing short of a spectacularly powerful, reliable power plant for its line of pickup trucks. Since its conception, Duramax has been an innovative and respected brand, with over 1.5 million engines produced in the United States and some of the toughest engines on the market today.
The 6.6-liter Duramax Engines is produced by DMAX, a joint venture between GM and Isuzu in Moraine, Ohio first released in late 2001 replacing the old 6.5-L Detroit built engine. GM was the first to make this jump and it gave GM an added advantage in the diesel truck market. The Duramax Engine utilized the new Bosch Common Rail Fuel system. The early fuel systems included an ECM (Engine Control Module), CP3 Injection pump, FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module), and injectors all of which we are familiar with and work on here at Sonora Transmissions.
The later version fuel system did away with the FICM and utilize a CP4 injection pump. The Duramax Engine had some issues but they extended the warranty on the injectors to 200,000 miles due to failures that were widespread and there were a lot of diesel trucks in the shop to fix the issue. Changing the injectors on the LB7 Duramax Engines was time-consuming since they were located under the valve cover. The premature injector failure was actually a result of air bubbles in the fuel line. They accumulated in the CP3 pump so when the injector went to fire, the bubble would get between the injector plunger and the injector tip. With the bubble there, the injector plunger had no fluid damping when it comes into contact with the injector tip causing a small gap to form over time. Once that gap grows large enough fuel is allowed to flow through continuously since the rail is pressurized so high. The computer system was unable to determine if this is happening so the check engine light would not notify the driver. The only way to determine if this was happening was to measure the return fuel flow rate.
Here at Sonora Transmissions, we keep up with issues like fuel flow rates and updates in the Duramax diesel engine so that we can provide quick diagnostics for you and answers quickly which equals more efficient and cost-effective repairs and our Duramax diesel truck drivers don't spend as much time in the shop as a result. It is one way we are able to help our Sonora GMC and Chevy drivers trust their diesel truck to the experts, one big issue fixed at a time!
The true secret to keeping your diesel truck driving like new longer and avoiding repair costs is proper maintenance and repairs done on time vs waiting for them. Our team of certified diesel technicians is well qualified to fix or maintain anything, including your Duramax diesel warranty issues. We actually have diagnostic equipment as good as or better than the dealerships and our team is cross-trained on many different kinds of diesel trucks so you get the advantage of experience. Skip the dealer prices and enjoy the peace of mind you get from quality service, by contacting Sonora Transmissions today for all your diesel repair and maintenance needs. **Below you will see some of our services | Maintenance Schedule for Duramax Diesel Engines | Specs on the 6.6L V-8 L5P Turbo-Diesel
