If you own a truck with a 7.3 Powerstroke engine, you know that it’s a reliable diesel powerplant. But it does have some common problems and some diesel engine parts that fail more often than others.
Over the years we have sold a lot of Powerstroke 7.3 parts and kits. These are the replacement parts we have sold the most. If you need to source diesel parts, you can rely on ProSource for quality aftermarket diesel parts, common replacement parts, and even hard-to-find kits.
The diesel truck parts listed here are replacements for some of the more common parts that are likely to go bad during the lifetime of your 7.3 Powerstroke. You can either replace these 7.3 Powerstroke parts when they fail or proactively replace them to prevent future problems.
Crankcase Vent Seal CCV For 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
A crankcase vent seal is an essential diesel truck part that works to prevent oil leaks and keep your engine running smoothly. This 7.3 Powerstroke component is part of the positive crankcase ventilation system, which removes crankcase gases, prevents seal and gasket blowby, and helps clean the exhaust.
Symptoms of a failing crankcase vent seal include oil leaks, high idle, and an overall decrease in engine performance and power.
Valve Cover Gaskets Harness Kit For 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
The original part for the 7.3 Powerstroke is known for its weakness and failure. You can prevent this by proactively replacing the part with this quality aftermarket version. If you have a leaking valve cover or you notice that your engine oil is often low, you will likely need to replace your valve cover gaskets.
ICP Injection Control Pressure Sensor For 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
The injection control pressure sensor made our list of the top problematic Powerstroke parts for the 7.3L engine. The good news is that sensor technology has come a long way since these trucks were made and an aftermarket ICP sensor is a logical upgrade for this engine. The Zibbix brand sensor uses cutting-edge modern technology and top-grade materials.
This makes it able to withstand higher temperatures and harsher operating conditions versus the original OEM sensor. A rough-running engine is the main sign of a failing ICP sensor. If you see oil in the ICP connector, then the sensor is likely the culprit.

Injector Sleeve Cup Removal Installation Tool Kit For 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
The 7.3 Powerstroke engine often has various problems with the injectors. If your truck is blowing white smoke, you might want to remove and replace the injector cups. When the injector cups fail, it means you won’t have a seal between your fuel system and the coolant system.
This causes fuel to go into the coolant and the main symptom is white smoke coming from your exhaust. However, removing the injector cups can be difficult, and that’s what this tool kit is meant to address. The kit allows you to easily thread the cups and pop them right out, then install the new ones.
TP38 Compressor Inlet Boot For 1994-1997 7.3L Powerstroke
Issues with the turbocharger can often plague older diesel engines, and one possible failure area is the compressor inlet boot. The boot and the air intake tube connect the air filter housing to the turbocharger.
This aftermarket replacement part attaches easily with simple hose clamps. Compared to a dealer service kit, this boot replacement is affordable and easy to install with everyday tools.
EBP Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Tube Kit For 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
The exhaust back pressure sensor (EBP) is located in one of the harsher environments in your engine. It interfaces with hot engine exhaust and oily soot. As you might imagine, this sensor will eventually fail due to wear and tear.
The Zibbix replacement part is made of more durable materials and can stand higher temperatures than the original part. This is one instance where you might want to replace the OEM part with a modern aftermarket part before it fails.
ICP Injection Control Pressure Sensor Pigtail Kit For 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke
If you’re planning to replace the injector control sensor on your 7.3 Powerstroke, it’s likely that you’ll need the ICP pigtail kit to make installation easier. The ICP sensor is a part that commonly fails on the 7.3 Powerstroke and if your engine is running rough, there’s a good chance that the ICP sensor is the reason.
Engine Oil Cooler For 1994-2003 Ford Powerstroke 7.3L
If the stock cooler on your 7.3 Powerstroke is leaking and nothing seems to fix it, you might need to replace the whole thing. The original oil cooler is prone to leaking over time due to the small passages in the cooler that become clogged. This restricts oil flow, which can then cause the cooler to overheat and sustain damage.
Fuel Lift Pump Fuel Line Hose Kit For 1994-1997 7.3L Powerstroke
Lift pump failure is a common problem on the 7.3 Powerstroke. The main symptom is failure to start. If your truck has over 100,000 miles on it, there’s a good chance that this part might fail soon. A fuel line hose kit includes all the necessary replacement lines in the correct length so that there’s no guesswork involved when you replace your lift pump and related parts.
Valve Cover Gaskets Kit + Relay With OEM Ford Motorcraft ZD-11 Glow Plugs For 1994-1997 7.3L Powerstroke
A valve cover gasket set includes a complete set of gaskets that you’ll need to repair the working seal between the valve cover and cylinder head. Symptoms of a bad or failing valve cover gasket set include leaking oil, a burning smell, and engine misfires. Using a high-quality valve cover gasket kit will reduce the chance of leaking and additional repairs.
