2007 E-Series Wagon
The available 6.0L Power Stroke
the following benefits:
• 235 horsepower @ 3300 rpm and
440 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2000 rpm
• Cast iron engine block and cylinder heads with a stiffened
bedplate structure for more durability and lower NVH (noise,
vibration and harshness)
• Hydraulic rail fuel injection and electrohydraulic
Generation 2 injectors reduce engine noise
• Electronic Variable Response Turbocharger (EVRT
increases airflow
• Charge air cooling increases air density
• PowerCore air cleaner with large filter area

Lower 6.0L Power Stroke
The 6.0L Power Stroke V-8 turbo diesel engine has a number
of features to help reduce NVH:
• A rigid bedplate on the bottom of the engine stiffens the
engine block to help reduce vibration
• The block ribbing structure is designed to reduce vibration
and powertrain bending
• Damped steel oil pan helps reduce noise transmission
• The rear gear train provides the durability of gear-drive
technology to help reduce NVH
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Specifics
With the introduction of the new Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel in
October 2006, Ford has released the following guidelines:
• 2007 and earlier E-Series vehicles built with the
6.0L Power Stroke ® turbo diesel engine have a "carryover"
2006 style engine and are not required by federal
mandate to use the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
• Until ULSD (15 ppm [parts per million] sulfur) is available in
October 2006, all diesel fuel pumps selling Low Sulfur
Diesel (LSD) (500 ppm sulfur) must use labels required
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) beginning
June 1, 2006. The labels for these pumps state:
"WARNING: Federal law prohibits use in model year
2007 and later highway vehicles and engines"
• This is not the case for 2007 vehicles with the carryover
2006 engines; therefore, both Low Sulfur and Ultra Low
Sulfur diesel fuels can be used in these vehicles

ENGINEERING INSIGHT: Turbocharger
Similar to a variable-nozzle turbocharger, the Electronic
Variable Response Turbocharger (EVRT) on the 6.0L Power
Stroke allows the position of the turbine blades to change
based on demand. This helps increase airflow within the
turbocharger. The significantly increased airflow delivers
turbo boost for outstanding performance in many high-
demand driving situations:
• Steep grade climbing
• Towing
Lower Diesel Emissions
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (Cooled EGR) technology means
that a portion of the exhaust gas is rerouted through a cooler,
and then the cooled exhaust gas is reintroduced into the fresh
air charge. Here are the benefits:
• The system helps reduce the flame temperature during
combustion, thus helping to reduce NOx emissions
• Older methods to control NOx emissions often relied on
delayed injection timing, which sometimes sacrificed fuel
economy. This EGR technology helps optimize emissions
control and fuel economy
Frequently Asked Question
How do these changes impact 2007 E-Series with the
6.0L engine?
ULSD can be used in the E-Series 6.0L engines for 2007 and
earlier model years. Specific information regarding the
2007MY E-Series will be published in October 2006
consistent with Job 1 launch.
