AutoWeek reports: The Piezo Effect. While we leave the truck stuff to our sister site "Cars Are For Wusses! Cars Are For Wusses! Cars Are For Wusses!" we do occasionally pick on report on what Ford is up to with the F-series.
Industry sources say the Super Duty pickups will get a new 6.4-liter V-8 made by Ford's longtime diesel engine supplier, International Truck and Engine Corp. The engine is expected to be launched early next year in Ford's revamped Super Duty F-series trucks, most of which are sold with diesel engines.Does anyone know if it makes sense to use the same manufacturer that smacked you the first time?The 6.4-liter replaces a troublesome 6.0-liter diesel, also made by International. That engine has cost Ford millions in warranty repairs and has angered some of the automaker's most loyal customers.
"Does anyone know if it makes sense to use the same manufacturer that smacked you the first time?"
Sure. If they give you a discount :)
