11/11/2023 0 Comments Diesel stacks![]() MotorTrend notes that environmental regulations made the engines more prone to failure and the engines themselves are significantly more finicky than the 7.3 which essentially thrives on neglect. The 6-liter Power Stroke is much of the same, if slightly worse. Just don't expect your accountant to be happy. It's certainly possible, if you're savvy with a wrench, or have a diesel mechanic on standby, to make a 6.4-liter run fairly reliably if you don't have any other options. However, problems start to arise when you want the engine to continue working for any appreciable amount of time. It made respectable power numbers at 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque which is not too shabby. Next to the smash hit that was the 7.3 and current 6.7-liter, there are no "exceptional" 6.0s and 6.4s, just "less bad." That said, the 6.4 wasn't particularly hateful when it came to pure specifications. Newer models may have more bells, whistles, and overall power, but you can't beat old-fashioned dead simple construction and reliability. It has been nearly three decades since its introduction and there are still plenty of surviving examples, ready to go to work. That said, the Power Stroke king has to be the original 7.3. It has been reported by The Drive that a 6.7 Power Stroke even reached well over one million miles (albeit with a lot of maintenance and repairs). It's by far the best choice for a more modern Power Stroke. Because it's been in continuous production for over a decade, there's a wide variety of extra components available in both junkyards and auto parts stores. But it certainly isn't lacking in power as a current High-Output 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel makes 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque. ![]() Compared to the relatively short production runs of previous Power Strokes, the contemporary 6.7-liter diesel you can get in a new Ford is practically ancient.
