This engine, part of Ford's modular lineup, is available with a 4-speed automatic transmission only and shares the same basic Triton™ design as the 4.6L V-8.

Major features and benefits:

• The SOHC V-8 features one camshaft in each cylinder head (at the top of each cylinder bank), eliminating the need for pushrods
• The SOHC design provides a finer level of valve control
• Deep-skirt engine block and low-friction internal components mean greater reliability and fuel economy
• Silent-design chain cam drive contributes to durability and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
• Coil-on-plug ignition system design replaces spark plug wires for high-mileage durability
• Platinum-tipped spark plugs help provide sure-fire ignition and contribute to a 100,000-mile scheduled tune-up interval.⁽¹⁾ The metal platinum retains its conductive properties much longer than traditional spark plugs, thereby increasing reliability over the years and requiring less maintenance
• A fail-safe cooling system is designed to help protect the engine from potential damage due to a loss of coolant. If the engine overheats, it will automatically switch from 8-cylinder operation to alternating 4-cylinder operation. The vehicle will continue to operate, but with limited engine power. This system allows the driver to travel a short distance to obtain service or to reach a service facility if the engine overheats. The distance that can be traveled depends upon vehicle load, outside temperature and road conditions.

Another engine in the Triton™ lineup, the 6.8L SOHC V-10, is available on Super Duty F-Series and E-Series Van and Wagon models.

Major features and benefits:

• The SOHC V-10 features one camshaft in each cylinder head (at the top of each cylinder bank), eliminating the need for pushrods
• The SOHC design provides an advanced level of valve control
• Deep-skirt engine block and low-friction internal components mean greater reliability and fuel economy
• Silent-design chain cam drive contributes to durability and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
• Coil-on-plug ignition system design replaces spark plug wires for high-mileage durability
• Platinum-tipped spark plugs help provide sure-fire ignition and contribute to a 100,000-mile scheduled tune-up interval.⁽¹⁾ The metal platinum retains its conductive properties much longer than traditional spark plugs, thereby increasing reliability over the years and requiring less maintenance
• A fail-safe cooling system is designed to help protect the engine from potential damage due to a loss of coolant. If the engine overheats, it will automatically switch from 10-cylinder operation to alternating 5-cylinder operation. The vehicle will continue to operate, but with limited engine power. This system allows the driver to travel a short distance to obtain service or reach a service facility if the engine overheats. The distance that can be traveled depends upon vehicle load, outside temperature and road conditions

The 7.3L Power Stroke Direct Injection Turbo Diesel V-8 engine is available on Super Duty F-Series and certain Econoline Van and Wagon models above 8500 lbs. GVWR. The engine is built for Ford by Navistar.

Major features and benefits:

• Direct injection fuel delivery places one fuel injector inside the combustion chamber of each cylinder. This sophisticated fuel delivery system helps provide optimum fuel efficiency, power and quick starting, especially in cold weather
• Engine operation is fully controlled by the EEC-V engine computer for optimum efficiency and performance
• High peak horsepower rpm gives the engine a wide power band that enhances driving ease and the gasoline "feel" to the engine's performance
• Turbocharger enhances engine performance by forcing a denser air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber
• Super Duty F-Series features a waste-gated turbocharger and intercooler for power and performance
• Low-maintenance components include:
  • Self-tensioning single serpentine V-ribbed belt designed to last up to 100,000 miles under normal operating conditions without service
  • Fuel filter designed to perform up to 15,000 miles before service
  • Large-capacity micro-filtration oil filter. Oil change interval extended to 7500 miles
• High-strength forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods for long life
• Aluminum alloy pistons with special top ring insert prolong piston life
• Gear-driven alloy steel induction-hardened camshaft provides trouble-free operation
• Standard glow plugs preheat the combustion chamber for reliable cold starting
• Patented exhaust back pressure device provides fast engine warm-up for cab heat and defrosting the windshield - a plus in cold weather
• The 7.3-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel engine features direct injection in a Hydraulically Actuated, Electronically Controlled Unit Injector (HEUI) fuel system. Direct injection is a heavy-duty fuel delivery system, delivering fuel under extremely high pressure with precise electronic control, contributing to fuel economy and helping to control emissions

A 5-speed manual overdrive wide-ratio heavy-duty transmission is standard on 2001 Super Duty F-250-550.

Features and benefits:

• Fifth-gear overdrive reduces engine rpm at highway speeds, contributing to fuel economy and quiet operation
• Wide-ratio gearing reaches maximum engine torque levels more quickly

Features and benefits:

• First five gears provide optimum close-ratio performance
• Sixth-gear overdrive reduces engine rpm at highway speeds, contributing to fuel economy and quiet operation

A 4R100 electronically controlled 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission is available on select F-150 models, F-250 - 550 and E-Series models with 5.4L, 6.8L and 7.3L engines.

Features and benefits:

• Overdrive fourth gear and mechanical "no-slip" power flow contribute to fuel economy
• Split torque path in third gear transfers by torque converter 40 percent (hydrodynamically) and 60 percent (mechanically) of the engine torque through solid connection to the driveshaft
• 100 percent of the torque is transmitted mechanically in fourth gear
• Heavy-duty components to satisfy light truck needs
• Overdrive transmission control switch mounted on shift lever locks out overdrive fourth gear when additional engine torque is needed or to obtain third-gear engine braking on downgrades
• Super Duty F-250-550 models offer an optional PTO provision
