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.

    LOL

    With an engine mounted Carter lift pump! Maybe the 47RH from the 12V's.

    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.

    Actually, its their first. The other attempts were done by Navistar.
