We have been waiting patiently when is this going to become a reality?

Sometime after it can be reliably proven that a place much lower than here, and much hotter, has frozen over.

It is a reality now. Check here: web page

LOL, I think he meant factory installation in the 250 and 350 superduties. Might be cool, but I don't think it is worth the $$ just to put a stock cummins in place of my 7.3. Unless your motors blown, then maybe? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Yeah, I know what he meant. I just couldn't resist. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] I don't think I would ever spend that kind of dough either. Doesn't make a lot of sense to spend that kind of bucks to drop a Cummins into a Ford. You sure wouldn't get your money back in resale. But hey, maybe that is an idea, buy one from someone who already spent the bucks!

"You sure wouldn't get your money back in resale."

So what ? If you buy a new truck you lose about $10K in the first year, after spending $20K to trade up to a new truck.

I should have qualified that statement. You would not get your money back just from the pure sense of the "upgrade". If your engine was toast, and you had to spend several grand to replace it anyway, then it would probably make sense spend a little more to put in a Cummins.
