Were just wishing either Ford would have stuck with the DEPENDABLE 7.3 or stuck a Cummins in it like they do for Brazilians like i posted in the link above!!

Well, since Dodge has the Cummins tied up in the states for several more years, that one is out. As for the "DEPENDABLE 7.3", Navistar got themselves in a bind with that engine by lying to the Feds about meeting emmissions requirements. Thus leading to a consent decree from the Feds. Under the consent decree, Navistar had to meet the more stringent EPA requirements well ahead of everyone else. Apparently, the 7.3 could not be made to meet those requirements. So the bottom line is, the Federal government made Navistar, (and thus Ford), go away from the 7.3. Ford had no choice in the matter if they chose to continue to sell trucks equipped with the Power Stroke diesel.

But Ford could have did there homework better. The 7.3 was good till "08" for emissions so they had pleanty of time to make the 6.0 right!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
