FORD SAID IT! 6.9 is best diesel yet....
Ok i just have to share this....
I was at the farm progress show yesterday, and i went through the ford show trailer with all the new engines, me and a few others were talking to the guy about the new 6.7, someone asked a very obvious question "is this supposed to be more reliable then the 6.0".... I would have answered "well duh" but the ford guy said yes, the new 6.7 has the best warranty work record (no issues) since 1988... when he said this i asked, so are you saying the 6.9 was the best diesel ever put in a ford truck? he replied with some answer about how great the 6.7 is. He didnt know what to say.
But yes ford admitted yesterday that the 6.9 was the best diesel to date...
Now dont get me wrong, I think the new 6.7 is a good engine, but I think Ford is a little too proud of their "all ford built" diesel, and I think they are getting pretty good at throwing navistar under the bus... I just think they should be a little more appreciative of Navistar, after all, they did get them in the diesel market. And if International is so bad, why did they use them from 83 to 2010????
