Ford 6.7 power stroke crankshaft breakage.

[Snagglefoot]

Do some people think their Powerstroke engines are made in the USA?

They are fairly high out put engines build to the lowest cost of manufacturing standards. Made in USA is what I would prefer yet the nation of manufacture doesn't necessarily mean the quality will be the best or the worst.

There have been performance shops that have put 1000whp through these cranks without a problem. It’s not a power problem, but definitely seems to point to harmonics. Hence the revised balancer for the later models, and just about every one has broken in the same spot (right behind the 1/5 journal).

There are longblocks available from Ford. However they keep going on backorder with no ETA. Along with the install kits that has all of the One Time Use hardware.

Ford said 1+ year or longer on an engine. Boss has jobs to do and can't wait that long.

I had one in stock about a month ago. Union Pacific authorized the job then backed out once all the parts were in.

TUPY has the ability to make a decent block-but if you had a Cummins 5.9 with "53" cast into it, you might have a different opinion! I wonder if a balancer from Fluidampr would be a good move, 6.2/6.5 guys swore by them-
