2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/

Engine: 6.7L HO (Power Stroke, 6.7L)

gen3-HO - 500hp/1200lb-ft High-Output (HO) - a sub-variant WITHIN gen3 (steel pistons/36,000psi/10R140 carried over), not a separate generation, per an aftermarket parts maker's 6.7L Power Stroke guide and a parts retailer's 6.7L Power Stroke guide; standard on the Limited trim, optional on other pickup trims; pickup only, no chassis-cab HO option

Applicable failure modes (11)

• Dual-circuit cooling system leaks (radiator / crossover tube / degas bottle / water pump)
• CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump contamination cascade
• DEF / SCR / NOx sensor faults
• DPF clogging / regeneration problems
• EGR cooler thermal-fatigue coolant leak
• EGR valve soot clogging / sticking
• Low-pressure fuel supply weakness (lift pump, filters, water-in-fuel)
• Glow plug wear and cold-start faults, plus an isolated 2011-2013 tip-separation defect
• Piezo injector wear and fuel dilution of engine oil
• Intercooler condensation ingestion + cold-side charge-pipe fatigue
• VGT turbocharger failure - generation dependent (ceramic-bearing GT32 vs journal-bearing GT37+)

Applicable parts (9)

• Banks Power Boost Tube System, hot and cold side (2023-2026 6.7L Power Stroke, High Output)
• ford-powerstroke-6_7: coolant-hose (honest catalog gap)
• 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Exhaust Pipe, Left, HO, 2023-2026
• 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Exhaust Pipe, Right, HO, 2023-2026
• 6.7L Power Stroke CP4-to-DCR Pump Conversion (S&S Diesel Motorsport)
• 6.7L Power Stroke CP4 Disaster Prevention Bypass Kit, Gen2.1 (S&S Diesel Motorsport)
• 6.7L Power Stroke LPK/DPK Replacement Filter Kit (S&S Diesel Motorsport)
• 6.7L Power Stroke Turbocharger Wastegate Actuator, 2023-2026
• 6.7L Power Stroke High-Output (HO) Turbocharger Assembly, 2023-2026

Platform recipes (5)

• Aftertreatment repair for the 2011-2022 6.7 (modes fm-ps67-def-system / fm-ps67-dpf-clog): sensors lie first - verify the DPS and EGT sensors before any assembly spend
• Full repair path after a confirmed CP4.2 high-pressure pump contamination event (fm-ps67-cp4-fuel-pump): metal debris in the fuel filter means the pump, injectors, rails, and lines are all contaminated, not just the pump
• Preventive measures against the CP4.2 contamination cascade (fm-ps67-cp4-fuel-pump) and the separately-documented plastic fuel-filter-housing cracking issue (fm-ps67-fuel-delivery) - cheap insurance against the platform's single costliest failure mode, applicable across all three generations since the CP4.2 pump has been used throughout (an aftermarket parts maker's 6.7L Power Stroke guide, a parts retailer's 6.7L Power Stroke guide)
• EGR repair by generation (modes fm-ps67-egr-valve / fm-ps67-egr-cooler): the 6.7's EGR hardware is generation- AND frame-split
• Turbocharger repair for fm-ps67-vgt-turbo - and the platform's clearest illustration of why generation matters: gen1 (2011-2014, Garrett GT32 ceramic-bearing) and gen3 (2020-22, per Ford's own catalog note) use ENTIRELY DIFFERENT turbocharger assembly part numbers (BC3Z-6K682-A/C vs LC3Z-6K682-A) - ordering the wrong one is not a simple supersession mistake, it is the wrong physical part

Recalls that include this truck (1)

• 25V-306 (May 9, 2025) - FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain F-250 and F-350 vehicles. Cracked fuel return line connectors may leak fuel into the engine compartment.

Matched by the model and model year NHTSA lists for each recall - a recall often covers only part of a year's production, so read its text for the build dates and versions it names. Whether a recall is still open on your VIN is not known here; check nhtsa.gov/recalls. All recalls, investigations and bulletins for this engine: /recalls/ford-powerstroke-6_7/
