The 6.4L Power Stroke Twin-Turbo Diesel V8 engine of the 2010 F350 Super Duty Ford 4WD cleanly burns fuel and enhances performance by utilizing piezo-actuated fuel injection technology. With multiple, precise injection bursts, emissions are reduced, engine clatter is smoothed - and acceleration is made to be very responsive.

Quick-spooling, small-sized impellers significantly increase the power generated from the dual-staged twin turbochargers. Oh yeah this diesel engine also starts in under 2 seconds even at temperatures of -20 below.
