Question About Ford 6.0 Diesel

T&P, you might want to read your own link!
The 6.0 was replaced in 2008 with the 6.4, which had fewer issues, but was a fuel hog.

The 6.0 and 6.4 are based on the same basic design, but is a slightly larger displacement. It also had many emissions related changes. Ford and Navistar did work to improve the 6.4, but it was a fuel hog.

This would be like saying the Cummins 5.9 and 6.7 are the same engine. Yes based on the same basic design, but many changes for emissions.

Gesus, I get home from work and see this mess. :S

Here, let me quote it for you:

The 6.0L Power Stroke was used in Ford Super Duty trucks until the 2007 model year but lasted until 2009 in Ford Econoline vans (Model year 2010).

Now, see where the 6.0 lasted until the 2010 year model exactly like I said it did? :R

Oh brother...the 6.0 engines on the E-series vans were derated and did not have near the problems experienced by the pickups, which had different tuning. The last 6.0 in a pickup was in the 2007 model year. By 2005, most of the problems with the 6.0 were resolved. The ONLY reason that the 6.0 was replaced with the 6.4 was due to EPA emission standards that the 6.0 couldn't meet. Ford got an exemption for the E-series vans as the 6.4 wouldn't fit in the van. When the 6.7 engine came out and wouldn't fit, Ford no longer offered a diesel in the E-series. You CAN get a five cylinder PowerStroke in the new Transit van, the first Ford van with a diesel in several years.

You're a Ram guy, aren't you Turtle?
