Ford has had 3 total redesign diesel engine versions of their diesel engine during the same period (6.0, 6.4, and 6.7) and does anyone really need a reminder of the well established history of the 6.0 and 6.4 or the refusal to repair under warranty of the 6.7 CP4 ultra expensive out of owners pocket repair costs? Any more questions?
I rest my case, your Honor!
