COMMON PROBLEMS OF DIESEL 2011-2016 6.7L POWERSTROKE

Fuel Injector Issues

Fuel injector failures are another common problem with this engine. Poor fuel quality or contamination can lead to malfunctioning injectors, resulting in rough idling, misfires, or reduced power. Left unchecked, it can cause long-term damage to your engine. ABCO Diesel offers comprehensive injector diagnostics, cleaning, and replacements to ensure your truck runs smoothly and efficiently.

EGR Valve and Cooler Failures

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system in the 6.7L Powerstroke, while more reliable than in older models, can still experience significant soot buildup over time. This can cause the EGR valve or cooler to fail, leading to performance issues and even engine damage. Our team at ABCO Diesel specializes in cleaning or replacing faulty EGR components to keep your engine running cleanly and efficiently, preventing more serious issues down the line.

Cracked Exhaust Manifold

Another frequent issue in the 6.7L Powerstroke is the cracking of the exhaust manifold, especially in earlier models. This can lead to exhaust leaks, increased emissions, and a loss of engine power. If your truck’s exhaust manifold is showing signs of wear or damage, ABCO Diesel can replace it with high-quality, durable parts that ensure a proper seal and restore your engine’s performance.

Injection Pump Failures

The Achilles heel of the 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke is its Bosch CP4.2 injection pump, which is prone to failure due to metal-on-metal contact caused by air in the system. When this pump fails, it can send metal shavings throughout the fuel system, causing extensive and expensive damage. ABCO Diesel is equipped to handle these repairs, including replacing the injection pump and cleaning the entire fuel system to prevent further contamination.
