Well, do you still think Ford's 6.0 is an "outstanding platform?"

If so, I guess some of Ford's top engineers disagree with you.

Should the good people of this forum believe you with you're outstanding platform comment or many, many, many of Ford's top engineers in their private subpoenaed emails that say the engine was junk? (Me paraphrasing)

And before all the blue bloods come out and say I'm bashing; lets get this straight right now: I'm not bashing anything, this is Ford's own private emails that say this about this engine; NOT ME. If you have a bone to pick, talk to them about what they think about their own product; or I should say about a product they put in one of their pickups.


Well said!

Your really starting to scare me now with the tic tack toe language.
Ever seen that flick Brokeback something? I've forgotten the name now but it was a cowboy movie with lots of x's and o's. Kind of like the engineers at FMC back in 2002, or their legal counsel in 2005, or Navistar when all else failed.
I always enjoy a good dyno run report on this site. I can hardly wait for yours.
Love Rick

That's why Ford parted ways with IH/Neverstart. Now if they could send Bosch packing...

Yes, they do need to get rid of Bosch. That Bosch would even design a pump at all that can't run reliably on the quality of fuel available as-is in the US is completely ridiculous. Very stupid engineers and/or management there at Bosch.

Hey moderator please close this thread. My questions were answered. These old geezers don't know when to pour another one and take a chill pill.

Note to Japan, I know you are busy cleaning up a "Duke" mess, however when you get your decks cleared off a bit, could you please build a good high pressure diesel injection pump for the world market. VW, GM, Ford and others are not doing well with the currently available ones from Bosch(Germans). We rather see you do this than the mainland people in your area! Your people have great experience in producing quality products, so this should be right up your alley!
