I didn’t know Ford made a diesel V8 besides the power stroke. I guess its in made in the same plant as well
Its based on the “lion” v6 that the Range Rover has and F150 will get. 330/516 hp/lbs-ft
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
its only used in one trim of one car. Originally it was thought that it would be used in Ford light duty products like the f150 and expedition but it would have cost way too much to make sense ($6000-8000 option).
Fell to the same fate as the duramax 4500 it seems.

They do, it’s the Land Rover one made in Dagenham. I don’t think it’s a big seller.

Doesn’t the full size Ford Transit have a weird-sized turbodiesel as well?

I think that it depends on which Wiki page you look at!
Dagenham would be logical as they make the V6 there but who knows?

Normally a 2.2 I4, now replaced by a 2.0. I can’t buy a 3.2 but you may be able to.

Its sad that it makes more hp and almost as much tq as my powerstoke.
Oh well my 7.3 will run until my truck literally falls apart around it

Unless visited by the bad electrics fairy and not taken to a sensors wizard to have its curse removed. WHY NO I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED THIS

Surely better than a GM 5.7 diesel V8. :D
Fun fact, the infamous Olds diesel V8 and the less infamous but generally dull 6.2 share some overarching similarities and possibly a few parts, to the point we have a shop manual that covers both. The Olds diesel just did everything the 6.2 did in the worst possible way.

It is possible for a 7.3 Powerstroke to have a cascade of bad sensors and issues if it sits for a while, and if you don’t have all the proper diagnostics at hand, it can enter a no-start state that will drive you *insane*. A buddy’s truck. An intermittent start issue that the truck was suffering suddenly became a never-start issue, right after we did glow plugs. Ended up having to fire the parts cannon replacing sensors and trying to figure out what was defective - ended up being a crank sensor, I think, after we thought we’d eliminated it by replacing. Bad part.

Hmmm guess ive never run i to any of those. Me or people i know with 7.3s. But most of them dont let them sit. Well except the two pavement pounders who store them in the winter

Basically, the majority of Powerstrokes will never go full no-start. Those few that do will make you nuts, because diagnosis is tricky.

What years was it worse? I have a 99 and most i know are OBS powerstrokes

His might have been an 02. It was an interesting truck - a stick 250 with short cab, short bed - although it had nearly 300k on it and some rust issues. It was supposedly OBDII, but had some odd protocol things so a cellphone/bluetooth interface didn’t work right.
My dad’s got a 99 with an 02 engine, and only has had a couple of issues like the glow relay and a bad lead in the charging circuit, leading to difficult starts but not no-start.
One of the things that can fail -there’s a module that does injector control and plays a role in the glow setup, and it can burn out leading to lack of injector function, partly related to the high voltage stepping for the injectors and glows.

Yea and the glow plug relay likes to go out too. Ive done mine already.
Id love a powerstroke with a stick. But i want a crewcab SRW one and those are pretty rare

Mine literally did - at 14 years and 360k miles I decided I couldn’t live with the (lack of a) body anymore. I donated it, it’s now plowing snow for a camp in the UP of Michigan.
My 150 3.5 is better in almost every way , but I still miss it, and the sound.
Oh...camshaft sensor in the 7.3, there is no crank sensor. Besides the mentioned injector control module (my ICM never went bad) it’s the only sensor that will cause a full no-start (other bad sensors will just run poorly). You can tell it’s the cam sensor because the tach won’t move when cranking. Carry a spare and a 10mm wrench and you’re good to go.
