Ford probably could not afford all the warranty claims on the transmissions and for broken crankshafts!
They might bring out a 5L Ecoboost. Someone stated seeing a new casting of the 5L has a place to install a direct fuel injection on the heads. That engine would be much more powerful than the diesel, and cut into the diesel sales a lot, so that might be why they are waiting so long.
I always wondered why Ford did not make a larger gas engine. The F-650 can come with a 6.8LV10 at about $10,000 less than the diesel versions. For a city who might have natural gas trucks, it makes a lot of sense as they can get the CNG fuel for $2.25 for 115,000 Btu's. This compares very favorably with gasoline prices. Oil changes are much less expensive, and the engine runs extremely clean. A V12 CNG engine with 10:1 compression (CNG is about 110 octane) would have plenty of HP and get fairly decent mileage for what it is doing.
