I'd like to add you could only buy the powerstroke in the higher trim packages of the F150 (lariat, King Ranch or Platinum) unless it was sold to a fleet company. So sticker prices for the diesels were usually over 60k. It basically priced itself out of the market.

My only problem with your statement is that: Why are you willing to spend $55-70k, for a gas truck? Diesel was 60k, For the gas truck, a well taken care of, might get 200k-300k before a new or rebuild is needed. Diesel engines just get "broke in" at 100k miles.

Always enjoy your videos. I've had a 2014 ecodiesel in a Laramie 1500 with 3:92 rear end since new. It now has 271k kms and continues to be my daily driver, including pulling a 35' travel trailer to Florida & back yearly. Biggest issue has been the tone ring, best thing I ever did was a hot tune from GDE (egr delete, left everything else intact). I expect my next vehicle will be the Chev/GMC with the 3.0 duramax. I know you think highly of them and I've appreciated your review(s). My big concern would be the 0W20 oil, in a relativity small crankcase (7 US quarts) - along with the oil pump belt change. Seems quite a step down from the 11 US quarts of 5W40 for the ecodiesel. (Wish you were still at your shop east of Ospringe) My Ram is in good shape, so hopefully I won't have to make a decision any time soon!

I have the Ram Ecodiesel and it's solid. It's a 2016 with 217,000km on it and I've never had a issue with the engine

I have the Ford 2018 V6 3.0 Diesel (Lion). I purchased it new in early 2019. And I love it. The somewhat hidden reason Ford killed it almost as soon as it was introduced? There were already too many motor options, and they were frantically trying to make room for the Lighting. So, what did they kill to make room for the Lightning. The Little Lion. Now that I am out of warranty, I will delete the emissions bullshit to get better performance and longevity. It is the perfect truck for me. Great video.

The biggest issue (now) buying a used PS 3.0, finding a competent mechanic to fix them. Thousands of mechanics can work on a 5.7 hemi, they're everywhere and parts are cheap and easily available. This 3.0? Good luck with that when you're on a cross country trip and it decides to strand you in some tiny town in Saskatchewan.

Alex, I'd love to see a combo-video about the VM Motori Jeep/Chrysler 2.8 CRD / 2.8 GM Duramax. Italian VM Motori eventually sold the design rights to GM and the design was updated and carried on with production in Thailand (I think) by GM. With some differences (mostly emissions related) the 2005-2006 US Jeep diesel and the 2.8 GM baby Duramax are essentially more or less the same. It'd be fun to see your take on this quirky and somewhat rare-ish little 4-cylinder diesel :)

In general (and owning one of these), the biggest issues with the 3.0 drivetrain is not actually with the 3.0 itself, it's with the 10R80 transmission behind it. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ford just threw another engines shift mapping on the transmission and it doesn't deal with the low down torque of a diesel well at all. There's a few crankshaft destructions that I've seen in the community (all with early 2018s) but for the most part are very reliable. Too bad you aren't in Colorado, I'd bring in my super weird non-premium optioned 4x4 F150 King Ranch 3.0 by for a visit! I think they're definitely going to be a cult classic type truck, I don't see the value of clean and weird optioned ones going down that significantly, especially in non emissions areas!

I own this truck. It gets at least 28 miles per gallon combined. The best I’ve gotten is 31 when I really try. I stealth tuned it and I get a lot more power. My state does not allow deleting of the environmental crap. I think this is the best engine ford had offered.

Another thing that makes little to no sense is why manufacturers don't offer these mini diesels in HD trucks. Not everyone wants and most people don't need 1000ft/ld of torque. Many get by with the 400ish that the gas models offer. With the mini diesels you could get that same power level but with considerably better fuel mileage.

In general, the 3.0 PS seen good reliability for the MOST part, you only hear all the bad things like on every vehicle, never when its running fine, some people run the s**t out of them and wonder why they're broke down. I have a 2018 3.0 PS that had been deleted since 6k miles. It runs great, there are tuning options unlike the 3.0 Dmax. But what the achilles heel seems to be is 10R80 Trans issues, I've seen more people with trans issues than anything thus far. I drive mine easy, take care of it best I can, deleted and tunned I get about 24.5mpg city & 29 hywy with 31'' k02 AT tires, stock tires most guys get about 31-34 hywy, deleted of course. 9k pounds and under of towing about 14-16mpg hywy

Without watching the video, they canceled it because it wasn't selling, and because the EcoBoost is more easily tunable to make quite a bit more power, to say nothing of the hybrid version. I have seen so few F150 Power Strokes in the major city I live in, and I swear they discontinued it a couple years ago. The Ram EcoDiesel was already on its way out when the 3.0 PS launched, and while Ford beat GM to market, the 3.0 Duramax in comparison has been a smashing success. I see them all the time whether it's Tahoes and Yukons, or Silverados and Sierras.

Like you mentioned on, All of Fords engines will tow big numbers. The limiting factor isn’t the power it’s the sticker on the truck. 8200# on the N/A V6 and everything else is over 10k. So what’s the point?

they put the Lion engine in Ford Ranger / Everest as well as VW Amarok. pretty good power and the waiting list to get one is pretty long (compare to the 2.0L diesel version)

Have you changed out the oil pump in your Power Wagon yet? Changed mine out this weekend to prevent the "Hemi tick".

I custom ordered my Ram with a Ecodiesel in 2021 4X4 with the 6.4ft bed 3.21 gears. I haven’t had a single issue with it so far has 28,000 miles on it. The fuel economy amazes me every time I fill it up and check it. Power wise it’s a dog, but I’m willing to put it with that for close to 30mpg on the interstate.

I mainly chose it for the fuel economy since it’s my daily driver, but also to tow a 4k pound travel trailer occasionally. Fuel economy in just average everyday mixed driving mostly city is about 23mpg pretty consistently. On vacation last summer all interstate from IN to NC and back with cruise set to 75mph we got a solid 30mpg. Love this powertrain. Great torque. Great economy. Quiet and smooth. Too bad it’s not an option any longer in NA. But honestly, being a diesel fan myself….I didn’t even know that ford had a diesel option for the f150 until I started looking around for trucks. They just did not market the option at all. But I feel like I own a bit of a unicorn now.

Not positive but I believe VelocityAP may offer it.

The difference I see in interest between the ecodiesel and the Powerstroke is that the Ecodiesel only has the 5.7 and the 3.6 to compete with both of which being good for their application but still leaving a hole in the market that the ecodiesel easily fills. Its the same with the 3.0 Duramax. Ford already had an engine option for just about every possible buyer. So it just got washed out. Plus the diesel niche outside of HD has always been small in North America

I bought a used 3.0 powerstroke and it has been in the shop more than I have drove it. All related to NoX related engine codes. They have replaced the NoX sensors and all DPF related parts. Still getting codes.

When these first came out, I really wanted one. I recently discovered the Jaguar influence, and then my desire to own one was greatly diminished lol.

Depending on how far back the engine development was, Ford OWNED Jaguar (and Land Rover, Austin Martin, Volvo and others) until the recession when Ford sold them off. Before the split there were shared development. i.e. the Ford Thunderbird and the Jaguar S-Type are the same car under the skin. Ford also owned controlling stock of Mazda until that period, which is why original development of direct injected turbo engines had some similarities with Mazda speed and Ford engines. To a certain point.

This engine is a nightmare to work on. As a mechanic at a ford dealership, I’m glad it’s gone.

I agree with previois comments, this engine was placed on high end trucks and it was impossible to pay for such elitist engine. I had a friend who got one in the used market and has been perfect for him.he had to pull a trailer and this engine is very strong. It is expensive to maintain and you need to chnage fuel filters more often but the engine is very strong and surprisingly is very quiet, it does not have for some people the annoying “diesel clacking “ that for me is very nice and musical because I drive large diesel trucks.

In Europe this engine has a reputation of breaking crankshafts.

I feel that there are 2 large issues that caused the 3.0ps to be discontinued. Emissions being on the engine cause a lot of issues on any diesel. The second is poor marketing for where the 3.0 thrives, 1/2 ton towing truck. I own a 3.0ps and my father has a 3.5 Ecoboost with the same enclosed trailer the 3.0 will double or better the mpg of the 3.5

Did you ever get your hands on a 3.0 powerstroke? I have one in Maine.

If ford sold them with any trim including the very basic model, those engines would have sold like hot cakes.

Great video! However, I’d like to add that Ford failing to sell many 3.0 powerstrokes was *mostly* their fault. Seriously ask yourself, have you ever seen a single commercial from Ford advertising the 3.0 diesel?.. we always saw ads for the eco boost. But what about that little diesel? Ford failed to sell them because they had NO marketing in any form for the engine option. Couple that with locking the option behind expensive luxury trims for half the time it was offered and you’re going to have a lack in sales. Most people *even within Ford dealers* don’t know they exist. That’s 100% Fords fault.

My 2015 ecodiesel has treated me very well. I bought it used with 85,000 miles on it and the previous owner already had all of the emissions taken off and had it tuned so i may have gotten lucky with that.

I’m looking to get a PowerStroke 3.0 F150 in the not too distant future‼️

The #1 issue is for forced buyers to get a lariat or better trim to get it and then it was another 2500 or more dolor option. Not sure about in Canada, but if people are looking for a diesel and its costing north of 65K for the sticker, they then go and look at the 250 with the 6.7. Ford essentially killed the motor before it had a chance by slotting it too luxury buyers. The flip side is true with the I6 from GM, that can be had in any trim level and is only around 1K as an option.

The 2.7 is the current base engine. The 3.3 has also been continued.

I own an F-150 powerstroke. The engine if fine for it's purpose, but it never excels at anything. I get 24 - 25 mpg, which as noted about not excelling is good but not great. My counterpoint is that , I did 700 highway miles in a 2.7T rental F-150 that you state gets better fuel economy, and I was swilling fuel to the tune of 19 mpg (literally hauling two suitcases and nothing more). A 30% difference in fuel consumption is a big deal, especially if you live somewhere like I do where diesel is cheaper than regular unleaded. Biggest issue is that Ford never marketed them and saddled them with all sorts of configuration handicaps. No 8' bed. No heavy duty payload package. Lariat and up trim only. We've been approached several times by people that had no idea they ever made a diesel F-150. Timing belts get a bad rap. The beauty of them is that they maintain timing until they snap or until they get changed. Timing chains these days are not the little SBC types that lasted forever. Today, there are typically 2 or 3 chains on a given engine, and they stretch while their guides and tensioners wear out. This throws the engine out of time which gradually reduces performance. I'll bite the bullet and change out the belt once or twice over the life of the engine. Emissions issues seem pretty rare on these engines. I personally have never had an emissions related issue on this truck (or any of my diesel vehicles).

I love my 2018 F150 Powerstroke!

The Reason Why Ford continues to use the cp4 is better emissions and power. The cp4 makes more pressure which makes a finer mist the in combustion chamber which equals better emissions and more power. It’s a shame that there just not that reliable.

Having owned a 2020 2.7 ecoboost f150, powerstroke was pointless Imo I could get 9.5L/100km on the highway at 110. I way overloaded it (11k ish pounds of dump trailer and skidsteer).

Yes undersquare, I probably said the wrong thing but yes the stroke on the 3L powerstroke is larger then the bore giving it great torque generation like your traditional 5.9

The duramax CP4's failed mainly because they had no lift pump in the tank, so the pump would have to both draw from the tank, and boost to 30,000 PSI. These trucks have an in tank boost pump, that brings pressurized fuel to the CP4, and takes a ton of load off it. They also commonly fail when people get water, or air into the pumps. Air being the main killer, so if you have no lift pump, and you change your fuel filter, you have a period where the pump would be running without lubrication, and that destroyed them. On the fords, after you change the filter, turning the key on and off without starting runs the main pump, and purges all the air in the fuel loop up to the CP4, so if you do it properly, you'll have no issues with air getting to the pump. Much better design, and very few have failed.

Plus you will find it impossible to sell deleted truck. I traded in 3.5L Ecoboost and never looked back. Love the 3.0 Powerstroke..

Dealers are so hungry they will never kick out a deleted truck. My Ford dealer loves deletes. As far as selling them you will be hard pressed to find a 2011-2015 super duty on marketplace that has not been deleted.

Nice to see the Swedish HIAB crane behind you. The 3.0 EcoDiesel used by RAM in their pickups was originally developed by VM Motori for use in Euro spec Cadillacs when GM owned FIAT (which they later dumped in Sergios lap for almost nothing and gave him a healthy lump sum along with it.. )

It's illegal everywhere is the US regardless of local registration requirements.

Maybe having to remove the engine to repair minor things was another problem

It is still used in the Ford Ranger in other parts of the world.

​@@craigallbee3284it doesnt come with a cummins mainly because its alot heavier then the hemi and makes it heavier and harder to have the flexible offroad suspension. With that said, ram just realsed this year the 2500 rebel which is a power wagon that comes with a cummnns. Has slightlyless offroad capibility then the power wagon, but if you want an offroad diesel, it will get the job done.

Yep. Power Wagons are intended for more off-road use than typical 3/4- or 1-ton 4x4 HD trucks. A Ram 2500 with the 6.4 is already heavy enough. Adding the Cummins would increase the weight probably 1200-1400 lbs, which directly translates to how fast the truck will get stuck in said off-road conditions.

GMC/Cheverolet hit it out of the park with their in-line 6 diesel. Powerful. Quiet. Fuel efficient. Ford just couldn't compete so they quit!! 😮

So your really an after treatment repairman versus being a heavy duty diesel mechanic? Lol. Just kidding, great stuff.

You tube channel “army property “ owned f150 diesel and power boost and eventually got rid of power boost bc diesel was awesome on fuel….according to him

Why tf would they only make it available for the top tier ford trucks that defeats the whole purpose of diesel’s being work trucks because you know people with platinum lariat or king each ain’t gonna do any work towing

According to some pro-diesel mechanics I've talked to, the 3.0 Powerstroke was such a piece of shit that you should just run away from it. Can't remember exactly the reasons as it's been a couple years, but I think it had to do with the timing belt, and possible the CP4. Anyway - who knows, and I have no personal experience with it. But according to them one should stay away from it.

I think it is about how it is driven and cared for. I have 66k miles on mine. Runs great. Change oil and fuel filters often.

Question? Doesn't the Duramax 3.0 require transmission/transfer case removal, and REAR timing cover removal for 100k mile internal belt service? That does not sound very heavy duty to me. Light duty diesel's up front cost, extremely expensive maintenance, low mileage service life.... to save a few bucks in fuel costs? Does not add up to me. I can replace a gas engine for the cost of a diesel fuel system when that pump fails and contaminates the entire fuel system. I know when a customer puts DEF in a 6.7 diesel fuel tank, because they are glued to their stupid f...ng phone and do not pay attention...that is a $10,000 mistake here in Texas that is VERY common. I own a 2017 F350 Powerstroke to pull a 40ft travel trailer. EVERY other vehicle I own is GASOLINE. Diesels are ridiculous to own and maintain. It is not like you get 1,000,000 miles out of them like a tractor big rig. I am a Ford Senior Master technician that owns a diesel for pulling a specific major load that gas will not do. Otherwise you could not give me a diesel for normal driving. The maintenance alone will eat you out of house and home. 13 qt oil changes, two fuel filters every 15k miles, crankcase filter, air filters... Unless you NEED a diesel, I say stay away.

GM says the internal oil drive belt is good for 200k miles. I have a 2022 chevy with the 3L duarmax, great engine, i average 30mpg. Not a bit worried about something that has to be changed at 200k mikes

Used to be 150k miles, they updated to 200k miles, but supposedly the transmission is relatively easy to remove in these trucks to get to the oil pump belt. Its only 7qts of oil per change, so not that bad, but it wants you to use dexosD oil which isnt common to find in much stores, i gotta go to the dealership or amazon to get it. Ive had to change it quite a bit, 1/2 year and 7k miles and had to do 4 oil changes so far, not sure if its because its a new engine it tells me to change the oil but it seems to go longer each time. I do love it though, good amount of torque, like it better than my gas truck, sips fuel. I wanted a HD diesel but the amount of fluids it uses and the maintenance scared me off, the 3.0 duramax is best of both worlds for me

@@brucepeabody6644 thinking about it, it may be because i live on an island, we dont have those long flat stretches of interstates that go on for hundreds or thousands of miles like in the mainland, its the size of a large city, going from home to work is going up and down hills, and stop and go, to get across the island one way is about 100 miles but the shortest path is going up between 2 mountains and back down. Engines seem to like long hauls at a more or less constant rpm, especially diesels, my driving conditions are probably less ideal than what you folks have in the mainland and may be worse on my engine and oil so maybe thats why i had to change oil more often

Thank Christ, its a real pile of shit to work on, love the Pwag too, course the balljoints were nfg at 19,000kms and the 6.4L needs 16 plugs just to run but great hunting rig, bring jerry cans.

I have no interest in new diesel engines now that the fuel is significantly more than gas and emissions

DuraMax is an Izuzu based engine

I think you are confusing oversquare and undersquare engine designs.

Bingo. I heard that directly from Ford. They had to kill a motor option to make room for the Lightning, and the Little Lion was gone. And the lightning has turned out to be a joke.

So the diesel emissions is an American thing only ?

No bias here... LOL I'd buy a Ram truck but I have to use it for pulling a 35' @15000 lbs fifth wheel. I need my rear axle under my truck not torn off laying on the side of the road. I'll stick with my F350 7.3 Powerstroke that pulls just fine over 12000' passes. Also have 3.5 EcoBoost F150 that screams, so why do I need a restricted diesel in a little half ton? I truly believe the leftest environmentalists running the EPA today have the new diesels so restricted with unobtainable emissions rules they are no longer technically able to produce what truck buyers need, unless you get into commercial applications.
