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.

"Plauged"? Odd we had a 1992 and would regularly get offers out of the blue for it because they wanted the engine...even though the body was totally rusted out.

Finally the rust got to us and we sold it to circus folk with 265k miles on it but running perfect. They were heading cross country with it the following day.

Ford did make a somewhat confusing move to make their new V10 gas engine replacement a 7.3l V8...leading to your mistaken assumption.

As to the new engine, I'm confused with 6.8l...seems really close to the 7.3 gas, so why?
