- 2020?
- That was a waste of a click. It "could" be with no details other than it might be a 6.8 that doesn't exist yet.
- If it was a turbo 6.8 it might be of interest. Personally I would not go gas without some boost since I cross the mountains a lot and am spoiled by my turbo charged vehicles now and before.

Yep, put 20# of boost on a 6.8 and watch the fuel gauge drop like a rock!Grit dog wrote:

I like ford gassers. No spam!
Its not offical yet but it is coming.
Here is more.- Manufacturer 1 upmanship. Ford had the 6.2 as the base, up in displacement from GMs 6.0. GM upped it to the 6.6 for base engine. Ford had to counter. Most folks realize a few 10ths makes little difference but then you have a lot of obsessed fan boys.
- Seems a little ridiculous. 6.8 vs 7.3? Ford should just put one gas motor in, the 7.3 Godzilla, which, so far has proven to be a great engine. That way, they could use economy of scale to keep costs in line.

Are you talking about the old Ford plagued 7.3 Power Stroke. Thanks to my research I saved myself from buying one many years ago and instead went with a real winner. Cheers to the good guys.NamMedevac 70 wrote:

I've never heard the 7.3 Power Stroke referred to as "plagued". That's just laughable! I'm not what you'd consider a died-in-the-wool Ford guy, but that 7.3 is one of the best diesel engines ever offered in this country. Look at the prices used Ford trucks & Excursions are bringing with that engine. Amazing, for a 'plagued' engine.
