7.3 liter Power Stroke Engine
7.3 Powerstroke
The first 7.3L was produced from 1988-1993. The original 7.3L diesel was a non-turbo charged indirect injection (IDI) engine, followed shortly after by a turbo charged version. It was very similar to the previous 6.9l IDI diesel engine, which was simply bored out for more torque. This engine is not considered in the powerstroke family. In 1994, the 7.3L underwent some changes. The 7.3L was changed to a direct injection (DI) engine from the original IDI engine.
We repair 7.3L PowerStroke Diesel Engines.
Common 6.0L Power Stroke Problems

The 6.0 liter Power Stroke is a great diesel, despite a bundle of issues that plagued many of the early engines. The 6.0 is powerful, durable, & reliable. There are more than enough satisfied 6.0L owners to back those statements up. However, some of the 6.0L components are prone to problems, especially when maintenance is neglected or the performance is increased by means of aftermarket components.
It's critical to maintain your powerstroke. Garrett Auto and Truck repair has expert certified 6.0L Powerstroke Engine Repair mechanics ready to inspect your powerstroke.

What is the average lifespan of a Power Stroke diesel?
A maintained 7.3 often outlasts the truck around it. 6.0 and 6.4 life depends on cooling, oil and whether the heads have already been done. We will not quote a year as a guarantee.
What year is the most reliable Power Stroke?
Shop talk still favors the 7.3 for simplicity. Newer 6.7s are a different emissions world. Bring the truck; do not pick a year from a forum and assume it applies.
Why does a 7.3 crank but not start?
Fuel, CPS, injectors or a dead IPR/IPC circuit are the usual first checks. Step-by-step: 7.3 crank / no-start diagnosis.
Do you work on 6.0 head studs and EGR?
Yes — after we confirm overheating, coolant loss or a failed test. We do not sell a stud kit before the diagnosis.
