Ford Power Stroke diesel engines have been the topic of many debates since they first hit the market in 1994. While many agree on certain topics, such as the problematic 6.4L’s predisposition to catastrophic failure making it the least-desired Power Stroke produced by Ford, other topics are hotly contested. One particular debate that is sure to strike up a heated conversation, is the infamous 6.0L vs the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke.
