GM 3.0L inline 6 diesel specs leaked

Seems to be all new ,what ever that means and designed 'in house' .

que up the "never buy first year anything crowd"

So just kinda getting back to topic... looking forward in seeing a test from TFL up the Ike. I’m glad that some truck makers are giving even more variety on engine choices. Granted I need more then a half ton truck but if I ever downsized campers I would go back to one. Is this engine all new then? Or any variations running around across seas...?

True Ford did not build the 6.0 but what they did do is tune it to be competitive with Dodge and Chevy. There are scores of International 6.0L running around in other applications with factory tuning and none of them have had any where near the issues as Ford's have had.

This is what led to the bad feeling between International and Ford.

And don't forget the bad blood between Ford and Firestone over the early Ford Explorer.

Both were taken care of by the original owner and it's still VERY dependable at 400k. So much so I sold it to a personal friends Son. He loves it!

My vice president's 2005 F350 6.0 has 370,000 on it and runs like a top. Driven every day around 200 miles. He still loves it too. BTW, still has factory heads,gaskets and bolts.

Your name on the tailgate, you own the issue was my point ,every other comment is just a excuse.

You can't blame the tranny issue on Cummins. Chris

So very true, they were both issues of Dodge trucks from that vintage. Just like Chevrolet early Duramax had injector issues, as well as Allison issues if you parked on a steep hill.

My point being they all have had a few growing pains no brand immune.

so the ford 6.0 wasn't really fords issue?
