I noticed the UPS delivery trucks around here have dumped the Cummins B diesel in favor of gas LS motors.
Gas is cheap and the salary of an in house diesel mechanic is not. They know this and ford reacted with what I consider a smart offering. Not to mention it will make its way into the booming RV market to replace the v10. I cant tell you how many amazon diesel sprinters I see broken down on the side of the road.
BTW, my UPS driver is still rolling with a manual Cummins. He can row gears with the best of them too.
