Navistar to start building GM midsize Vans

Probably the biggest problem with the Ford/Navistar diesel engine is that Ford demanded the engine ready for production in 2003 because they were getting their lunch eaten by Duramax and Cummins and the 6.0 engine was still approx 2 years from being actually ready with the bugs worked out and thorough and complete reliability testing having been completed. On file is the objection from Navistar for early release for production. Ford made the rules and had the controls it bit them hard! Notice that Ford didn't win their big lawsuit with Navistar? Both had some fault in the matter but Ford called the shots!
