Big Fords dropping Cummins and Allison

CLICKY

Ole well the Dodge boys can't use the old statement " Why do Fords use a Cummins in the 650 & 750 trucks" much longer :B

Hey at least Ford is using the Ram mirrors now :W

The new PSD numbers should be interesting when they are released.

    The saddest Ford product I ever drove had a V-8 Cat diesel and an Allison transmission. Good to hear they have improved.........

    Yeah, this is only fords umm.. 4th attempt to build a better engine since the legendary 7.3... I wouldn't wait in line to see how well this one works, there is a reason they beta test things.

    I believe the 6.7L PSD is Ford first attempt as far as pickup trucks are concerned. The 7.3 and the obamanations that followed were IH/Navistar's.

    Hey, at least it keeps the service work in their own bays! Does the cab lift off easily? Chris

    It probably would have been a better idea to use a VP44 equipped 53 block backed up by a 48RE transmission! The mirrors look more like they are trying to copy the GM Kodiak trucks more than the moose ears.
