That motor is going by the waist side,fords new motor will be 6.4 twin turbo diesel due to emission requirements.Next yrs model.
I believe you are incorrect on that statement. the 6.0 was designed to meet the smog requirements in 2007, but they rushed it into production to keep up with & top the Duramax & Cummins. but since they rushed it & did not test it enough they have many problems. a lot of there problems stem from computer problems, they just can't get the program correct.
BUT that is not the only problem. 05 & I think 06 the damn things are blowing head gaskets worse than an improperly tuned Buicks.
there transmission is supposed to be the greatest thing ,like the Allison? WRONG!!!! lets put this way I took mine back to the stealer for the same shifting problem I had for quite some time, it would shudder like hell when towing a trailer at the 3-4 & 4-5 shift. well long story short, service mgr told me it was the trailer
I got so mad I about threw him out of the truck during the test drive! then 3 days later his area service rep. from Ford told me that if I planed to do towing I should have bought a 6 speed manual.
well I told Ford to go pound sand in there a** & went out and bought my first GM truck in 20 years, a 06 GMC D/A dually. I never thought "I" would buy anything but a Ford but my trucks put food on my table, my trucks don't work, we don't eat!
PS: now this don't mean if this GMC don't live up to my expectations that after the 6.4 powerstroke has proven it's self that I will not go back to Ford.
