Which 7.3 Powerstroke do you have?
1994.5–1997
Single-shot HEUI injectors (AA code, AB in California), a cam-driven two-stage fuel pump on 1995–1997 trucks, and a single turbo with no wastegate and a 1.15 A/R turbine housing. The high-pressure oil pump uses a 15° swash plate.

California trucks got 120 cc split-shot injectors in 1996 and 1997. Trucks elsewhere kept single-shot injectors until 1999.
Source: Wikipedia: Ford Power Stroke engine1999–2003
Air-to-air intercooler, larger 140 cc injectors, a 17° swash plate on the high-pressure oil pump and an electric fuel pump on the frame rail. Halfway through 1999 the turbo changed to a .84 A/R housing with a wastegate.

Forged connecting rods were used until early 2002 models switched to powdered-metal rods; Wikipedia says a borescope check of the rod serial numbers confirms which you have. Ford also began fitting catalytic converters by mid-2002.

Used-parts yards file 7.3 diesels under separate interchange numbers for Federal, California, low-emissions and high-altitude versions, and on Super Duty trucks for engines with or without the exhaust pressure valve. The supplier matches yours by VIN.

- Match the generation. A 1999–2003 engine has an intercooler, bigger injectors, a different high-pressure oil pump and an electric fuel pump. Give the supplier your VIN so they match the generation.
- Match the emissions version. Yards list Federal, California, low-emissions and high-altitude 7.3s separately, and Super Duty engines with or without the exhaust pressure valve. Give the supplier your VIN so they quote the right one.
- Planning to tune it? Early-2002-on engines have powdered-metal connecting rods. Tell the supplier if you plan to add power, and ask which rods the engine has.
- Ask what's included. Long block only, or complete with injectors, high-pressure oil pump, turbo and under-valve-cover harness.
- Get mileage, testing and warranty in writing. Ask for the donor truck's mileage, how the engine was tested, the warranty term and the freight cost to your ZIP before you pay.
Known 7.3 Powerstroke wear points
- Wikipedia notes that the powdered-metal connecting rods used from early 2002 hold up in a stock engine but can become a catastrophic failure point if aftermarket tuning pushes output above 450 hp. (Wikipedia: Ford Power Stroke engine)

Rows come from Wikipedia's Ford Power Stroke and Navistar T444E articles. Wikipedia's Power Stroke article puts the F-Series pickups at mid-1994 to mid-2003. The T444E article's infobox says production ran to 2006, but its text says the T444E was discontinued midway through the 2003 model year, and its list has Australian Super Duty trucks running to 2006, so this table stops at 2003. These trucks are largely absent from EPA records. Always confirm by VIN.
7.3 Powerstroke questions
How much does a used 7.3 Powerstroke engine cost?
Used-yard asking prices for a 7.3 Powerstroke typically ran $1,000 to $7,416 on October 21, 2026. That range runs from the lowest version's 25th percentile to the highest version's 75th percentile, across 3 versions (193 priced listings). Prices vary by version, mileage and shipping, so the supplier quotes your exact part.
Is the 7.3 Powerstroke the same engine as Ford's newer 7.3 gas V8?
No. They share a displacement label: one is a diesel, the other a gasoline engine. Tell the supplier which one your truck has.
How do I tell an early 7.3 from a 1999–2003 engine?
The 1999–2003 engines added an air-to-air intercooler, larger split-shot injectors and an electric fuel pump on the frame rail. 1995–1997 trucks have a cam-driven fuel pump, and all but 1996–1997 California trucks have single-shot injectors. Your VIN and model year settle it.
Which trucks used the 7.3 Power Stroke?
Ford F-250 HD, F-350 and F-Super Duty pickups from 1994.5 to 1997, the Super Duty from 1999 to 2003, the Excursion and F-650/F-750 from 2000 to 2003, and E-Series vans from 1995 to 2003. The supplier confirms fitment by VIN.
