Tidbits from Ford Mechanic on 6.0 and 6.4
I had some work done on my truck in Canada. Talked to Brain, a well respected Ford Dealer diesel mechanic. Heres the tidbits: He said that the Ford Motor Company put International and Ford engineers in a virtual lockdown to come up with a "bullet proof" diesel engine. The key words were "bullet proof" Ford wants the best diesel engine made.
The 6.4 powerstroke is being tested on the freeways as we speak. This fact has been mentioned on this site. The twin turbos as well. This Brian thinks the new engine will get better mpg. ???? Hope he is right.
On the 6.0. He said Ford made a mistake with that engine. International design and not Fords. (thought I had heard it the other way around). Said the 03 were lined up out the door when the 6.0 came out. He had to rob parts from the other 6.0s. He also said they have had little problems with the newer 6.0s.
