Navistar sues Ford (again) regarding upcoming F-150 diesel engine

Wow, talk about a strained relationship! With so much money passing hands between Ford and Navistar, you might think they would find a way to negotiate a deal regarding their diesel engine partnership(s). You would be right, assuming you think that starting yet another lawsuit is a way to patch things up. That's right... another lawsuit. This one is still about diesel truck engines, but instead of the large 6.4 liter Power Stroke, this one cites a smaller 4.4-liter diesel engine slated for the F-150 truck in 2009 or 2010. Navistar has been Ford's long-time supplier of diesel engines that carry the "Power Stroke" moniker for Ford, and Navistar is claiming that if Ford goes to market with the 4.4-liter engine, it would constitute a breach of contract. At this point, it seems unclear whether Navistar is claiming to have designed the engine in question, or if it believes it had a contract to do so, but either way, things could get even messier between the two companies.

Can't you just feel the Love between these two.
Another law suite is all they need, no one wins but the lawyers.

It's like two big kids in a playground with sticks. Who has the biggest stick. I'm not a big fan of Navistar motors. I just dont buy other trucks then fords. It's a family thing as far back as the model A's and T's
