Will 220km on the way to london? :D let's just say thats never going to happen again. plus I get a little sketched out doing over 140 in the Duty

My old s-10 with a 2.5l that had soo much blow-by you could pump your tires up with it was freakin scary on the hwy. Of course putting in 4:10 gears with 15" rims and and slightly bigger tires than stock really didn't help. 5th gear was completely useless unless you were over 65mph. I miss that...

I have to agree with overkill on the stud issue. 03 and some 04's had this issue and were prone to epic failures. On that note, I haven't seen many failures on the late 04's and up, especially not not block or lower end failures that were not owner/operator induced. We service hundreds of these...

I now recall hearing of the start on gas run on diesel now, I've never seen one though. That looks like a pretty neat system.

CAT is NOT building any on road engines. oh and BTW Cat is the only engine manufacturer to have used a spark plug on a diesel engine lol I saw it for the first time on a C-15. It's used for their after treatment systems. Ive seen old diesel tractors with two fuel systems. Has a conventional...

I just wish my Gf would buy a car, her driving my truck just scares me to death some days. 105 pound woman driving a jacked up 8000 pound truck, she likes climbing curbs :P

Originally Posted By: 440Magnum Originally Posted By: Onmo'Eegusee Could not get it to meet emissions regulations. That's an easy answer to toss out, but its not really true. The basic structure of the engine was proven, and you can get ANY engine bottom end (except maybe an old Detroit...

Originally Posted By: BGK Whatever it was, I read that Ford had over a billion dollars in warranty claims with International on these engines. It was something like that. Ford has dropped International engines and I don't blame them one bit. I would not buy a new super Duty with a 6.4L I am...

Originally Posted By: widman My take on it is that they are way to complicated. I've got a 6.0 that has been to a half dozen shops and Ford, replaced lots of parts, and I'm finally finding the probable problem through the internet. People don't understand what sends what message to what...

The 6.0L are a completely different engine than the 6.4L despite what Jimmy Joe Bob says. From my experiences the ppl who [censored] about 6.0L have a very poor maintenance attitude, these engines are hard on oil period! use good oil and please please change your fuel filters!!!! 03 and 04...

Not to mention the oil you are running as well My 6.0L was slimy black when I bought it, 3 oil changes later the oil is an amber color. Did I mention there is 236,000 k on it? At 5000k on the current oil its still amber and clear. Good oil and filters make a huge difference. I should have taken...

I have a quickserve account, the techs get back to me rather quickly. I can't really give you any of thier contact information. what I can do is give you a little direction to thier site. These fellows are very knowledgeable on pretty much everything Cummins related. I'm sure if you contact them...

Has anyone seen any information about this engine? All I have found are the regular useless magazine articles. is there anyone from a Ford dealer on here that has had some trainning on it?

Does he not ever have a clue or what????? honestly *****!!!!

The MAXX Force 15 is the new up and coming big bore. not much has been mentioned about it other than CAT is sharing some block technology with International. I haven't heard as to when it is going to be released, or any other information for that matter. There isn't any information about it on...

I would have to agree with all of you. wafrederick1 you are a little too ignorant to be posting.

BTW I found the filter top remover at work lol prolly would made your life easier geetin them apart.

like the secondary oil filter in the LF3000? :) I cant remember what the actual spec is but 5% seems to stick in my head for some reason.
