If you own a 2003 through 2007 model year Ford Super Duty pickup, most likely you have a 6.0 Powerstroke engine under the hood. Unfortunately, many of the factory 6.0 Powerstroke parts were known to be unreliable and prone to failure. The good news is that you can replace the factory Powerstroke parts with quality 6.0 Powerstroke performance parts from the aftermarket.
The diesel truck parts listed here are some of the common factory parts most likely to fail or wear out on your 6.0 Powerstroke engine. You can either replace these parts when they fail, or you can be proactive and replace them with quality diesel aftermarket parts from ProSource Diesel.
Glow plug faults are common on the 6.0 Powerstroke engine as well as hard starting issues. By replacing your factory glow plugs with the Motorcraft set of glow plugs and harness, you can generally clear these issues and get your engine back to normal. This set also includes a harness removal tool to make installation easier.
Some of the diesel parts most prone to failure on the Powerstroke 6.0 are connected to the turbocharger. Aftermarket up pipe upgrades are designed to lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase turbo spool-up. This kit includes everything you need to replace your factory up pipes.
Another common issue with the 6.0 Powerstroke is High-Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) failure. The HPOP pressurizes engine oil and the injectors use the oil to compress fuel. On the 6.0 Powerstroke, the HPOP is known for complete failure and leaking seals. To improve the longevity of your 6.0 Powerstroke, it’s a good idea to replace problem parts early before you start having issues.
A failing Camshaft Position Sensor displays a number of symptoms, including difficulty starting, stalling, erratic idle, loss of power, and reduced fuel economy. If you need to replace your Camshaft Position Sensor, the easiest way to get it correctly wired is to get this sensor pigtail so you can simply plug and play.
This kit includes everything you need to change your engine oil stand pipes. These aftermarket diesel parts are built to the latest Ford and Navistar spec improvements, including integrated check valves that hold the oil in the rail for faster cold starts. This kit also includes everything you’ll need to remove your factory oil rail and injectors if you need to do a repair or upgrade.
A bad Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) sensor can display a few different symptoms. If it fails to communicate with the ECU, then the engine won’t make enough pressure to expel the exhaust gases. A bad EBP sensor might also force your engine into overtime as it burns more fuel than necessary. If your EBP sensor is bad, you’ll need this tube fitting to replace it. You may also need a replacement EBP tube.
The CAC intercooler boots on the stock 6.0 Powerstroke are on the thin side, which can cause them to wear out faster. This boot kit features boots that are much thicker than the factory boots, meaning you may never have to replace them again. The Spoologic silicone boots are constructed with five layers of heat-resistant embedded fibers for durability and blowout prevention. They’re also designed to withstand over 100 PSI of boost, so you won’t have to worry about tuning your truck.
The injection pressure regulator valves control the pressure in the high-pressure oil system that operates your injectors. If these valves go bad, you can expect symptoms like stalling, erratic idle, and your engine not starting. This Motorcraft OEM IPR valve replacement is a direct fit for your 6.0 Powerstroke.
The new shorter push rods were originally made by Ford for the 6.4 Powerstroke, which has a lot of lifter issues. However, the new push rod length also works for the 6.0 Powerstroke. The main reason is that many owners start milling the heads at some point on the 6.0 Powerstroke engine. By the third time the heads are milled, it can create compatibility problems with other parts and the shorter push rods can address this.
The 6.0 Powerstroke has various problems with the high-pressure oil rail and injectors. This kit enables you to remove the rail and injectors for an upgrade or repair. Injector o-rings are needed to create a tight seal that keeps fuel and fuel vapors from escaping into the engine compartment.
