Lots of Fords
Just got back week in Gettysburg PA. Mostly Fords at campground. People having more faith on the 6.7s after the bad experience from the 6.0.:B

I think all the manufacturers had some problems building engines that meet the EPA standards for diesels established around 2004. It really increased the complexity of injection controls and added pollution control devices. Most of Ford's issues were with FICMs, EGR Coolers, and the HPOP system to control the injectors.
The more complex a system is, the more likely it is to fail. As they managed to gather more data on failure points, they've been able to engineer better solutions.
No, not all manufacturers struggled with meeting the EPA standards in 2003/2004. Those years are some of the most sought after for the Dodge/Cummins. If you can name some specific issues those trucks had that are related to meeting EPA standards, I'm all ears! :B
Wow Ford was caught with their pants down - if one claims that the 6.0 and 6.4 disasters were due to EPA standards why were Dodges and Chebbies doing great during those years?
Exactly! The sad thing is that I used to make up that sort of thing when I owned my 6.0L. :o
