7 Ford 6.7 Power Stroke Maintenance Mistakes That Can Lead to Expensive Repairs

The Ford 6.7 Power Stroke is one of the toughest diesel engines on the road, but a few simple maintenance mistakes can turn it into a repair bill that looks like a down payment on a new truck. In this video, I break down the 7 mistakes I see most often after more than 15 years of working on Fords, and how to avoid every one of them. Here's what we cover: stretching oil changes and using the wrong oil, skipping the two fuel filters that protect your high-pressure fuel pump and injectors, ignoring the water in fuel warning and fuel quality, cutting corners with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), neglecting both of the 6.7's cooling systems, towing without respecting transmission heat and turbo cooldown, and starving your diesel particulate filter of the highway time it needs to regenerate. None of these fixes are complicated, and most cost far less than the repairs they prevent. Always check your owner's manual or scheduled maintenance guide for the exact intervals and fluid specifications for your model year.
