Ford Power Stroke Repair in Austin, TX
F-250s, F-350s, and Super Duty trucks in for everything from a 7.3L that refuses to quit to a 6.7L pulling a gooseneck every day — Power Stroke work is our bread and butter.
Power Stroke service at an independent Austin shop
Power Stroke engines are one of the two platforms we see most — in F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks, Excursions, and the medium-duty chassis that share the engine. Each generation fails in its own way, so we diagnose from the data, not from a guess: live scan data, pressure and fuel-return testing, and a look at the parts that generation is actually known to lose.
Power Stroke generations we service
- 7.3L (1994–2003) — The one owners keep forever — HEUI injectors, IDM and glow-plug systems, and cam-sensor no-starts.
- 6.0L (2003–2007) — EGR coolers, oil coolers, head studs, and FICM problems, plus the stiction that makes them crank and stumble.
- 6.4L (2008–2010) — Twin turbos, radiators and coolant leaks, and regeneration problems that end in fuel dilution.
- 6.7L (2011–present) — CP4 fuel systems, turbo actuators, DEF and DPF emissions faults, and injector wear.
What we see fail on Power Stroke
- EGR cooler and oil cooler failure — Classic 6.0L: white smoke, coolant loss, and overheating. We test before we condemn parts.
- Injector stiction and misfire — Rough cold starts, a miss under load, and hard starting — diagnosed with live data and return testing.
- Turbo and VGT faults — Lost boost, sticking vanes, and actuator codes on 6.0L, 6.4L, and 6.7L.
- Emissions and regeneration — DPF loading, DEF quality and injector faults, and derates that strand a working truck.
- CP4 fuel-system failure — On 6.7L, metal through the fuel system is a whole-system job — we scope it honestly before you spend.

Common questions
Do you work on 6.0L Power Strokes?
Yes — the 6.0L is one of the most common trucks in our bays. We handle EGR coolers, oil coolers, head studs, FICM and injector problems, and full engine work. We test to confirm the cause before quoting the repair, because on a 6.0L the symptoms overlap.
My 6.7L Power Stroke is in a derate. Can you help?
Yes. Derates usually trace back to the emissions system — DEF quality or injector faults, DPF loading, or a sensor. We pull the codes and freeze-frame data, test the system, and tell you what it will take to clear it properly rather than resetting it and sending you out.
Are you a Ford dealer?
No. Modern Diesel is an independent, veteran-owned diesel shop in Austin — we service Power Stroke trucks but we are not affiliated with Ford. That means you deal with the technician working on your truck, and you get told what it actually needs.
