Diesel Engine Testing
• 6.7LPowerStrokeV8turbodieseltestingisa
reflection of the commitment by Ford Motor Company
toengineerandbuildthisdieselengine“in-house”and
to meet the needs of the Super Duty customer
• 250,000-miledurabilitytestingisdesignedto
identify structural fatigue points of the powertrain
components by simulating the driving habits of
Super Duty customers who tow heavy loads
– Test engines spend 1,200 hours at peak torque
to test the strength of the engine’s internal
rotating parts
• Thermalcycletestingstressesthecylinderhead
gaskets, engine sealing and cooling system connections
– Engines are idled, run at peak power until
components are red hot, then shut off and allowed
tosoakwhile16-degrees-below-zeroFahrenheit
coolant is pumped through the engine
– The process repeats over and over for 150 hours
• Structuraltestingisruntoverifydesignparameters
including assessment of the effect of design
tolerances
– Engineers build engines with tolerance-limit parts
to simulate potential quality issues before they
happen to the customer
• Real-worldweartestingsimulatestheoperating
conditions of 250,000 miles over the toughest
grades in temperatures ranging from 40 degrees
belowzerotoplus130degreesFahrenheit
– This test cycle is the equivalent of 10 years
in service
