2020 6.7 Power Stroke w/Steel Pistons

Here's a video from Mr Truck. He missed it, but the new Power Stroke will have Mahle Steel pistons. This should make this engine platform good for an easy 1 million miles.

    Too funny RAM sends the "NOSTRIL" design to FORD.




    The Super Duty's signature look had the nostrils (as you call them) for many years but these actually route air into the engine intake.

    LOL, I never realized that aluminum pistons were holding the SD back from the million mile mark.

    Wow, learn something every day! :B


    Me either. I had no idea any engine had been manufactured in the last 70 years with steel pistons. Steel is tough though; cool idea.
