Here we go again, stirring the pot to close this thread down soon. Ford's 6.7 is being used in F-650/F-750 applications and the 6.6 Duramax has been selected to power the Military's new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. I've also seen articles suggesting that GM will use the 6.6 Duramax for its new 5500 series trucks. Hope you enjoy watching the argument you just started.
You might have an argument with the GM "IF" it's used in a Militaty application in another brands vehicle, If that application is classified as MediumDuty. Remember the 6.2 and 6.5 were standard issue in the HUMVEE, I don't think anyone would consider it a MD engine! But Ford and GM only use their diesel engines in their own applications. NO one else is buying them. Up until recently Cummins was the engine in the F650/750. Cummins in used in many other applications as a Medium Duty engine.
The Cummins Engine plant in Columbus, IN (CMEP) for the 2017 Model Year will be ONLY producing the 6.7 for the RAM trucks. The other 6.7 applications will be produced in another plant. That tells me the Cummins RAM combo is ramping up for stronger future sales.
Yeah not the smartest move to use that c rap bag 6.2/6.5 in the Hummers. I'd of took a good bicycle over that engine in Iraq based on my exp with them!
But the Dmax has been med duty in the class 6 GM trucks for many years.
Speaks volumes for the 6.7 Pstroke if Ferd is finally using that engine in med duty apps.
