Ford Power Stroke engine

I love the Duramax, the 6.6 liter in the Chevys.

I love, obviously, the Powerstroke, the 6.7 liter that I just referenced there with Sherry.

I mean, these are more than 1,000 pound feet of torque vehicles.

And I'm hoping that a Ram Charger comes out and answers my prayers.

But I imagine that people with big boats and big toy haulers also have big families.

So why wouldn't they need a three row SUV? with which to tow these vehicles.

Why wouldn't Ford bring back the Excursion and put the Powerstroke in it so that you could bring your wife, your kids, your dog, and then tow your boat? To me, it's a no-brainer, but maybe that's why I'm not running one of those businesses.

Anyway, all thanks to Sherry House there.

With CTS4, with the added capability of the device, we were able to eliminate that unlock hardware.

So we've added the 2020 through 2022 PowerStroke support into the Evolution and into the Insight Plus for custom tuning.

So a 2020 to 2021 PowerStroke can be flashed directly through the OBD port without an unlock process required.

With that, we are working on 23 to 26 support.

So we'll have 23 to 26 Ford.

Let's get the news right here.

New 8-liter Ford power stroke diesel coming by 2029.

You can bet on this.

I think this is solid news.

And so you're seeing the, when it comes out of the exhaust, the temperature of the exhaust is much cooler and the exhaust particles of NOx going out are much, are less and they're broken down, it's colder going out.

That's how the double dosage system works.

So why EPA 27 strengthens my power stroke prediction? Well, that's pretty simple.

EPA 27, that's, The proposal is in, let's say it more correctly, EPA 27, was created years ago.

Yeah.

It was originally designed for with the idea of the power stroke diesel.

because the Powerstroke diesel had some issues early on with small particulate and crud buildup, crud being the technical word, and, you know, stiction limit.

Oh, I don't understand.

Carl and Chad, welcome to the Diesel Podcast.

Look forward to chatting with you guys today, talking about, uh, a 10-speed conversion on a 7.3 Powerstroke, which is really cool.

We had a listener message in and wanna know more about it, so welcome to the podcast, guys.

Oh, thank you.

We appreciate you having us.

Very cool.

Carl, I thought I'd start with you, and, uh, US Shift a- and if you could, uh, tell us a bit about yourself, the company, what you guys specialize in, and then we'll dive right into this 10R140 swap on a 7.3 Powerstroke.

Sure, yeah.

They won't take as much abuse as the 10R140 will.

Is that where you'll see more calls for the 10L1000 with that tuned truck more frequently than with a 10R140 6.7 Powerstroke just because of those issues that you mentioned?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's definitely...

That's another segment of the market.

I personally, the 6.7 Powerstroke that came out in 2011 is a way better engine than GM's diesels of that era, but that's just me.

I would rather have the Ford over that.

It kind of almost sounds like this guy needs himself, like, a 15-year-old King Ranch that he could just idle in all day long.

Salt causes water, so now you've got a water or a salty brine that is spraying the underside of your truck the entire time you're driving.

So it does also help that now that I have the Powerstroke, the 4Runner won't be driven daily as much.

You know, I drive from, sometimes from the farm to town when my wife's at work, but nine times out of 10 I don't go anywhere when she's at work 'cause I work where I live, so there's no point.

Um, h- I just can't wait, man.
