Ford F250 HO PowerStroke Diesel Engine Review *HEAVY DIESEL MECHANIC* | How GOOD Is It??

I Review a 2024 Ford F250 Super Duty with the 6.7 PowerStroke Diesel Engine. I go over the 6.7 HO powerstroke engine specs and horsepower. I go over the component updates of the High Output 6.7 powerstroke Diesel engine. Lastly I give my opinion as a heavy Diesel Mechanic if this is a good engine or not.

I Finally got to see the HO powerstroke in person for the first time at the local ford dealership and well I wanted to make a video talking about all the differences between the normal 6.7L powerstroke or the SO powerstroke engine and the High output powerstroke engine.
right off the bat there are actually not many differences at all because ford wanted to make sure the production of the powerstroke engine was very streamlined so almost all internal engine updates were also given to the standard ouput powerstroke engine.
the SO engine in 2023 receieved updated cylinderheads, updated pistons, updated fuel pump and updated injectors. Both HO and SO also received later oil sumps with extra 2 quarts of oil and extended oil change interval. lastly and most importantly in my opinion was that ford put a new emission system on the powerstroke engine.
this new emission system comes with a separate fuel doser directly into the DPF or what some people like to call the 9th injector. this means that when these engines regen they will no longer be over fueling the entire engine and possibly diluting the engine oil with fuel which is a very nice upgrade for these engines.
the only real mechanical difference between the HO and SO powerstroke engines is that the High output engine is getting a water cooled compressor housing to help cool boost air and stainless steam exhaust manifolds to help deal with the extra exhaust heat. thats it.
obviously the HO will be getting a much difference tune but in terms of mechanical differences there are no many. I personally think the bigger story is that the SO output got so many updated along side the HO.

[@matthewguarino7780]

You’re like tfl truck but actually know what you’re talking about! Really enjoy your channel! Keep it up!

[@SONbird5112]

Not many if any need the extra torque and HP, just going to burn more diesel with that tune. The SO looks like a very solid engine with a little better solution for exaust treatment. Will definatly consider this truck in 2-3 years when they come on the used market and we can almost afford it. 😂

[@user-sz4hy8ou3d]

😂

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Very well said sir! Totally agree. If I had 100k burning a hole in my pocket the HO would be fun but I think for most people the SO is going to be a great engine

[@Captain-Awesome]

The cost difference is small when compared to the already large cost of the diesel engine over the gas version. I came out of a 2020 Raptor and bought a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7HO Platnium Tremor. The reason for the change is to tow a 5th Wheel RV that my wife decided we needed. I do absolutely love this truck, it’s fantastic. I wanted something quick since I was giving up the Raptor for this endeavor and it delivers. I will be keeping this truck for a long time.

[@davelindgren5245]

Great review. I have never understood putting a PowerStroke in a F250. You barely have any payload left. My dream truck is a PowerStroke F350. I just went to the Ford site and built it. Amazing how fast you can get up to $90K.

[@jimmyaber5920]

I would love to know the real percentage but in DFW area in TX, a 3/4 ton full on loaded pickup only needs the payload for golf clubs or rifles and a Yeti cooler for more than half of them. There are lots of them traded in 2 and 3 years old and there is not a blemish in the bed and many have the paint untouched in the hitch receiver. Ford, GM and Ram know their market.

[@christopher.96]

Even worse with the Ram 2500s with the Cummins. HD truck with 1000lbs of payload. Lol

[@itsathaithing]

More than 1050 lb-ft I need to have a bigger truck. Great no-nonsense video.

[@gavynlopez9835]

I know you are not a big fan of the 6.0 powerstroke however I have seen 6.4 powerstrokes behind you in some videos. I think it would be interesting for you to do a video on those two considering you are a diesel mechanic and you also are now seeing the improvements of the 6.7

[@agerardomp]

Greetings Alex. It's amazing what a few changes with big advertising campaigns can achieve. The truth is that the buyer must know strictly what he requires for loading, towing, extreme adventure or any of the other jobs to which a truck is subjected. And why not?; Get advice from experts who have already owned that truck and learn about their experiences. I think that the best choice and purchasing power is personal and not the seller's. Personally, I really like the FORD power strock SO. THANK YOU very much for sharing your comments and videos 😊 they are ALWAYS A GOOD ANALYSIS. A HUG from CDMX, Mexico.

[@joeallison2779]

I had no idea that there were so much trickle down to the standard engine. Thanks for pointing all this out. What would you replace the Bosch fuel pump with on the powerstrokes

[@shockinawesome9595]

Didn’t know that they now have a 9th injector like the duramax’s have that is a nice upgrade. Also I heard that the HO have inkinel exhaust valves instead of steel like the SO or the older ones. I believe they said they have a bigger oil cooler now too. Another separate note is I was told the large oil capacity for diesel is to trap soot as a quart of oil can only trap so much. Eventually that oil will get to temp it will just take longer. And longer to cool down too.

[@jameszeiger8533]

Anything that minimizes fuel dilution of the oil is for sure a big, big improvement for Regen. Great application on this Ford.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

exactly, just a much better way to run a regen.

[@LindsayPeters987]

Not worth the cost for me, but this video did a great review. Best truck channel!

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Thank you Lindsay!

[@jameszeiger8533]

@TheGettyAdventures: You mentioned a preference for air-to-air intercooler verses coolant-air intercooler. I am just curious to understand your preference, i.e., is there better cooling with a less dense, but cooler media (air) or is it simplicity of air-to-air verses a coolant exchanger?

[@ArturoAyalaSandez]

@TheGettyAdventures - I watched your video about diesel engines/trucks 2012 and newer and how they are very troublesome specially if they are not driven far every day. Would you recommend the purchase of a older diesel model? Like a 2010 F250 with a diesel engine? Do those have the same issue or are they more reliable?

[@user-zg4ln5wn3m]

It would be nice to hear why my 24 HO 6.7 drinks DPF when towing compared to my 2021 ! Thanks

[@GIGABACHI]

I understand it must be really hard to package these beast and all it associated hardware under the hood . . . but using "cool" (more like warm) engine coolant in an air to water intercooler loop it's FAR from an optimal solution.😒👎💩 Thank you my good man for taking the time to make a video about it and explaining the improvements and differences. Looking forward to new episodes. 😎👍

[@454budman]

Also Id like to add that when your over fueling its injecting fuel on the exhaust stroke.

[@therealmccoy9031]

I’ve found a new 2023 f250 6.7 at a local dealer and they are looking to get rid of it. It’s marked down significantly. Might be worth upgrading my 21 7.3 gas to it lol

[@ALMX5DP]

Do the commercial models get all these updates too? I think I saw they’re still rated at 330hp and like 950lb-ft.

I have a question about the cp4 pump. Why didn’t they update or fix the issues with this pump so it doesn’t explode metal into the injection system like mine did? They know it’s a problem so why aren’t they addressing the problem. Otherwise it’s a great engine

[@automotiveandmore]

The LZ0 Duramax also uses steel pustons btw....

[@jnk26]

Part of the reason a diesel gets better mileage is the fact the engine can get the work done with less rpm. BMEP is why Cummins says the 6.7 Octane will be better than the competition. I would expect the MPG to be slightly less than the diesel counterpart(less energy dense fuel).

[@fmfdocwilly2014]

That is Andre from TFL, not Roman.😊

I’m interested as well. There are many opinions about those. I’d like to hear why you think they blow up.

[@armedprophet3321]

Just waiting for the Banks Derringer “(after computer tuner) to be released this year. It’s expected to increase the hp to 650 and TQ to 1700 but only on the high output 6.7. And won’t leave a “footprint “ so that Ford can’t find a way to void your warranty.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

the stock SO will roast tires, god knows what that kind power will do.

[@SurelyYewJest]

Interesting piston design. IMO the HO 6.7 is just not necessary. 150 extra TQ is really nothing but bragging rights. I think it would be safe to say that the F450 pickup with SO 6.7 could haul the 40k load about as well as the HO, if Ford sold a config rated as such. What I find quite dumb is making the HO available on an F250. It's such an unnecessary engine for a 3/4-ton.

HALLELUJAH -- FINALLY THEY FIGURED OUT THEY NEED AN AFTERTREATMENT DOSER INJECTOR!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just wish both the std & high output also got the water-cooled turbos!

[@morgansmith2087]

As front mount intercoolers are more efficient, why not mount a larger intercooler behind the grille like (even Ford) many others do. Also, it does not seem to have a negative effect on engine cooling either.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I think there just isn’t enough space. That would be my guess. Because it would be a better set up

[@AK_Ray]

There is nothing about an air to air intercooler that is more efficient than an air to water intercooler.

[@Back_door_bandit_98]

2011-2016 is the greatest superduty they have made especially the 2015-2016.

[@electricamish]

It's my understanding that they lowered the compression , only on the HO, and the SO remained the same.

[@Hogger280]

The standard engine is not using more boost and therefore does not need a lower compression ratio. Lowering the CR on the standard engine will result in less efficiency - which may be a choice so that the HO doesn't look so bad when compared to the standard engine!!

[@TheGettyAdventures]

yes sir! on the cummins side of things their SO engine still runs like a 19:1 compression ratio keeping it very efficient.

[@Westerner_]

I’m a ford guy and the company I work for put me in a 24 ram 2500 Cummins to drive for a few weeks. I need to buy a towing rig in tbd next few years and I just don’t know 😅 the low end torque of the Cummins is undeniable and with them going to the 8 speed next year it makes for a very attractive package. Then I see this video 💀

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I love the 6.7 Cummins, great engine and I think with the 8 speed next year it will be a game changer. But if you get behind the wheel of a PowerStroke you might change your tune. You put your foot down and you hold on.

[@843MudMafia.]

8 cylinder vs 6 cylinder going for the Cummins still last longer than that ford engine

[@Westerner_]

@@843MudMafia. true but I don’t think within normal pickup truck life expectancy either one will wear out to the point of catastrophic failure

[@americandream_89]

Ram low end torque isn’t even in the same field as a H.O powerstroke.

[@ta70615]

I just got a 2024 Ram 2500 with the Cummins and there is no denying that engine is awesome. My last 2017 Cummins towed great I can imagine how much better this one with the extra 50lb ft of torque. Did a Hemi 6.4 for a bit and immediately missed the diesel

[@Sasquatchflow]

I’m afraid to ask what this truck cost in Canada!

[@PunisherOfDeath101]

2500 upgrade cost....no brainer. Better cooling, better internals, and more power. Truck is already going to cost allot if your considering 6.7 regular.

I have from several people the HO is getting a little better mileage than standard. Anyone else??

[@brentmcmahon8188]

They need to stretch the front end at least a foot to 18 “.

[@454budman]

SO has had more years under its belt, the HO is just gonna burn more fuel which in turn uses more def and go into regen more. Ive towed 16k with my 22 PS and it has 3:31 read end and it was way more than enough.

Def is irrelevant. You’re supposed to get it deleted.

why ford still uses it I don't really know.

[@jameszeiger8533]

I am not sure a more aggressive cam-lobe on a CP4, pushing output volume and taking the pump further up its performance envelope is a good thing when these pumps are famous for grenading catastrophically already...

[@TheGettyAdventures]

My thinking exactly, granted ford does seem to have the best luck with these pumps so we'll have to wait and see unfortunately.

[@jameszeiger8533]

@@TheGettyAdventures It seems that there is plenty of Super Duty failures of the CP4 on KZbin which ends up costing huge dollars (>$10K) if the system is no longer under Ford Warranty. A company called S&S makes a fuel pump that replaces the CP4 called their DCS pump. Before they released the pump this year, they also made a kit called a “disaster prevention kit” that was basically some screens for the CP4 fuel lines, which detect metal shavings during a pump failure and shut the pump down almost instantly, thus preventing these metal shavings from migrating into the injector lines, injectors and the fuel return to the tank and tank itself. That said, if someone was going to put a disaster prevention kit on a CP4 from S&S, it would be better for the labor $$ to just replace the pump as the labor to get down to the pump from the top of the motor, removing tons of stuff, isn’t going to be that much different than just replacing the pump. Some have expressed that if the CP4 fails under its warranty period, it’s a Ford issue with regard to cost and that replacing the CP4 with an aftermarket S&S DCS that might void the Ford Warranty. However, there is a law down here in the US which places the burden on the vehicle manufacturer to show that the aftermarket parts or modifications were the cause or contributing factor leading to the failure for any warranty related work an owner would be asking for to do under the provisioned factory warranty from Ford. If it was me, I would spend the dollars and have the CP4 replaced with a DCS before warranty or no warranty lapse, either way. It’s expensive as F-bomb and one would want to make sure the job was done perfectly, e.g., the lines, injectors and related things were buttoned up perfectly. It is a really, really stupid thing that Ford continues to use this pump when their competitors moved away from this disaster of a pump because they were getting killed by the CP4 warranty fixes.

[@CablesTech]

You know what I'm gonna say it. I dont think the 6.7 powerstroke belongs in the F250. I think if you need more power than the 6.2l gas engine option will provide you need a bigger truck to go with your more powerful engine. The gas engine will do everything you would need a F250 to do and if you are regularly towing 15k+ pounds like the F250 with the powerstroke will do you would be much better served with a F350 Dually.
