The Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel Engine

Tehama County and Red Bluff business owners have come to rely on the Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine throughout the years to keep their goods, services, and equipment on the move. The Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel is a 6.7-liter V8 engine driven by a cutting-edge 36,000-psi-fuel injection system. This system is new for the most recent model year, and features injectors that atomize fuel up to eight times per stroke to enhance combustion. Throttle response has always been more than adequate, but the latest Power Stroke engine also sports a refreshed electric-articulated variable-geometry turbocharger that reduces "turbo lag". Hit the gas and you'll feel a quicker response and less hesitation no matter the tow load. Block strength has also been improved while forged-steel pistons have been added to ensure long-term durability and peak power output.

That's just a glimpse at the groundbreaking new Power Stroke V8 engine. We recognize that you're really here to learn about its capabilities and output. Check out the specifications below to better familiarize yourself with this legendary engine:
