Benefits of Doing a Ford Powerstroke Diesel Delete
Increased Horsepower and Torque: By removing factory restrictive components, your Powerstroke engine breathes more freely, delivering stronger pulling power and sharper throttle response.
Improved Fuel Economy: Less exhaust system restriction means your engine runs more efficiently, saving you money on long-haul fuel costs.
Extended Engine Life: Removing the DPF, EGR, and CCV systems reduces stress and deposits, helping your engine run cleaner, extending its lifespan and reducing costly repairs.
Powerful Sound: Experience the powerful roar of a true high-performance exhaust system that's sure to turn heads wherever you go.
Improved Durability: Constructed from stainless steel and premium materials, our exhaust systems and removal kits are rust-resistant and outperform and last longer than factory parts.
Generations of Ford Power Stroke Engines:
The engine life of the 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke is > 250K miles, and it is called the "legendary engine" for its reliability and durability.
First Generation: 7.3L V8 Powerstroke (1994-1998): The first generation 7.3L Power Stroke engine debuted in 1994 and set new standards in the diesel truck industry with its innovative wastegate turbocharger, direct injection system using HUEI fuel injectors, and air-to-air intercooler. The engine was first used in Ford Super Duty trucks and quickly gained a reputation for performance and durability.
Second Generation: 7.3L V8 Powerstroke (1999-2003): The second-generation 7.3L Powerstroke engine was produced from 1999 to 2003 and featured significant improvements over the previous generation. This generation of engine included larger injectors, a new turbocharger, an electric lift pump, and an air-to-air intercooler, making it a favorite among diesel enthusiasts and scrap hunters.
Specification:
Common problems and solutions:
Exhaust manifold leakage: Replace OE/modify manifold
Turbine upper pipe leakage: Replace OE/modify UP PIPE
Fuel pressure regulating valve: Replace OE parts
Fuel filter blockage: Replace OE parts/modify fuel filter kit
Engine overheating: Replace coolant/modify thermostat/modify and enlarge water tank
The 6.0L Powerstroke engine was introduced in 2003 and featured a host of new technologies, including a variable geometry turbocharger, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and a second-generation fuel injection system. Despite these innovations, this engine is often remembered for its reliability issues.
Common problems and solutions:
Cylinder gasket leakage: Replace the cylinder gasket (disposable parts)
Cylinder head cracking: Replace the cylinder head screws (it is recommended to do 1 and 2 at the same time)
Carbon deposits on the turbine blades cause the blades to stick: Disassemble and clean/replace
Auxiliary water bottle cracked: Replace OE/modified parts
Oil cooler blockage: Clean/replace
EGR system failure: Repair/EGR removal kit

Specification:
Ford's 2008 6.4L Powerstroke engine is based on the Navistar MaxxForce 7 and is designed to be cleaner, quieter, and more powerful than its 6.0L predecessor. Due to stricter environmental regulations, key innovations such as the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) were also adopted in order to meet EPA Tier 2 standards.
Specification:
Common problems and solutions:
Radiator leakage: Replace radiator
Poor fuel economy: (Cause: DPF regeneration requires fuel injection) DPF delete
Increased oil dilution: DPF delete kit
Exhaust upper pipe rupture: Replace OE/Modify UP PIPE
Piston rupture: (Insufficient design strength) Replace
EGR cooler blockage: Cooling water filter/Replace new cooler/EGR delete kit
DPF failure: blockage, leakage, sensor failure Repair/Replace/DPF delete kit

First Generation: 6.7L V8 Powerstroke (2011-2016): The first generation 6.7L Power Stroke engine launched in 2011 marked a major change in Ford diesel engine technology. The engine uses a dense graphite cast iron cylinder block, a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system and a single-stage sequential turbocharger, setting a new benchmark in power and efficiency. Even so, some problems may occur; common problems are:
EGR cooler carbon deposits: clean the EGR regularly or directly replace the EGR removal kit;
NOX sensor failure: replace the sensor, replace the DPF removal kit;
Manifold rupture: replace the original/modified parts; it is recommended to modify the intake manifold
Specification:
Second Generation: 6.7L V8 Powerstroke (2017-2019): The second-generation 6.7L Power Stroke engine was produced from 2017 to 2019 and was a significant improvement over the first-generation engine. These improvements addressed many of the early issues, making it a more reliable and powerful choice for heavy-duty truck owners.
Specification:
Third Generation: 6.7L Powerstroke (2020-Present): The third-generation 6.7L Power Stroke engine, introduced in 2020 and still in use today, represents the pinnacle of Ford diesel engine technology. Available in 2023 Ford trucks, the engine delivers up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque in high-output configuration, solidifying its position as a leader in the heavy-duty truck market.

Installation
Common Installation Tools:
1. Disassembly and Assembly: Sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, torque wrenches, and specialized tools for special accessories (e.g., fuel injectors)
2. Auxiliary Tools: Rust remover, cleaning agent, sealant, cutter, jack
3. Protection: Gloves, goggles
4. Measuring: Tape measure, vernier caliper
5. Data Stream: OBD II Equipment
Installation Precautions:
1. Avoid working with high temperatures to prevent burns:
After the vehicle is turned off, allow high-temperature components, such as the exhaust system, to cool sufficiently (approximately 30 minutes) before disassembly or assembly.
2. Perform rust removal in advance:
Screws on conventional high-temperature components and chassis components are prone to rust. Before disassembly, perform necessary rust removal to prevent screws from sticking.
3. Wear protective equipment:
For example, when performing exhaust pipe modifications and cutting, wear safety goggles and maintain proper isolation to prevent sparks from causing accidents.
4. Environmental Protection:
After DIY maintenance or modifications, waste oil, coolant, etc. should be disposed of at designated recycling stations.
