Even though the design of the new 6.7L Power Stroke and Cummins are fundamentally different, the '11 model year will mark the first time two light-truck manufacturers' diesel engines will share the same displacement. This, however, is where the similarities end. With 40 percent of its hard parts carried over from the 5.9L, the 6.7L Cummins remains a tried-and-true engine platform. On the other side of the fence is the all-new, in-house built, 6.7L Power Stroke from Ford, which shares absolutely nothing with its 6.4L predecessor.
6.7L Cummins
Based on a 20-year-old, cast-iron block and head platform, the 6.7L Cummins engine has high-horsepower potential and million-mile durability on its side. And not only that, when it debuted in '07, it already met the stringent 2010 emissions standards-thanks to a much-improved combustion cycle, in which particulate matter (PM) and NOx issues were solved in-cylinder, eliminating the need for selective catalytic reduction (SCR, or urea injection). But even with its electronics and emissions-control devices, the 6.7L Cummins remains much simpler than the competitions' V-8s.

6.7L Power Stroke
Packing 390 hp and 735 lb-ft from the factory is a statement unto itself, but the new Power Stroke features a lot of firsts in the 3/4-ton and 1-ton diesel segment. For starters, its twin-inducer turbocharger, air-to-water intercooler, and reverse-flow cylinder heads are a first in this segment. However, these are only the most eye-opening nuances. Let us remind you that, for noise and durability purposes, the engine features four rocker arms and pushrods per cylinder-also a first. Only time will tell how durable this new Power Stroke will be, but it sure looks promising on paper.
