Default Ford's new diesel engine...

http://www.fordvehicles.com/2011Supe...o=power-stroke

Anyone know anything about it? Is this something we should run out and buy as
our new boat hauler?

It is a way to fight socialism, after all.

I get a kick out of the ad copy ..... "If you want something right, build it
yourself".
Ford has been purchasing their turbo diesels from Navistar International.
The 6.0L was a disaster. The 6.4L replacement was better, but still not
perfect.
Ford and Navistar were in a ****ing contest about who was responsible for
warranty claims on these engines. Now that the contract is up, this ad is
obviously a poke in the eye to Navistar by Ford.

Ford blames Navistar for building a junk engine, and Navistar counter-
sued stating the engine was built to Ford's design specifications.
That fight will go on for a few more years.

I noticed that also. I'm hoping to hear some good things about this engine.
We'll see.

If you mean fighting socialism by buying Ford and not GM or Chrysler, I
would agree. Besides, there is a reason Ford is #1 in trucks.

Mine is a F150 Lariat 5.4L gas, perfect for what I use it for, but know
if I had a heavy boat I would do a F350 diesel in a heartbeat. One of
the last few decent American made vehicles left actually.
