Can't wait...

Can't wait...

For them to un-cancel it?

I was at my local Ford dealership today ordering a door part for the 750 and got yapping with the service manager....he is also a friend....he told me the staff just had a big meeting and it was regarding a small diesel engine for next years F150....that is all he told me.

it's a PSD? I thought they had a falling out?

They did... they havent gotten along since '83...

 

[flareside_thunder]

I was under the impression that after to 6.0 failure and lack of warranty payment that Ford was going to have In house engines built? Also, in 83 they were known as International....not Navistar The PSD didn't come out till 94.5 anyhow

"Powerstroke" is Fords label for the Navistar manufactured engine. Ford can put that label on any engine they put in their truck despite the manufacturer.

 

[flareside_thunder]

Ahhh gotcha Brad...I thought it was a Navistar TM

 

[Blue Goose]

Navistar calls their versions, "Maxx Force".

 

[DNFXDLI]

He didn't say what it was being called just that people have been hounding Ford for a 150 diesel because not everyody wants a 350...I've know this guy a few years and have no reason to think he was screwing with me.

Yes I know, but International was bought out by Navistar. From what I have read, they have never really gotten along.

Ok, I just called him back..they don't know who is making it but it is very similar to the Land Rover 3.8l diesel....it is 4.4l and it is a V8

I understand the Scorpion 6.7 willl be built in Mehico. If this gets off the ground it'll probably be built there too.

 

[Blue Goose]

I think it's the kissin' cousin to the 6.7...

 

[Bricks]

I'm excited to see them.....in spite of the urea injection thing.

I sure hope they're a hit for Ford's sake.

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

This engine will never happen.

 

[TexasNomad]

Whatever happened to this ?

 

[5.0Flareside]

I will give a call to the guy I know and ask again on Monday.
