As manufacturers roll-out their 2003 model year pickup trucks, diesel engine owners everywhere are interested to see how the competition stacks up against Ford. Power Stroke® Diesel owners and enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the 2003 model year Power Stroke Diesel, manufactured by International Truck and Engine Corporation, not only remains the most powerful diesel engine available in a pickup truck, but it exceeds expectations by providing more power with fewer emissions.

The new Power Stroke Diesel, combined with a new 5-speed electronic TorqShiftTM automatic transmission from Ford, provides more torque capability to accommodate increased engine output. Cooled exhaust gas recirculation and a second generation hydraulic rail fuel system, helps to reduce exhaust emissions by 20 percent compared to the previous engine. Additionally, the all-new rear gear train design and new oil pan construction reduces noise levels considerably.

A closer comparison reaffirms Power Stroke Diesels dominance over the competition.
