I would imagine there will be a 2nd pissing contest over the 6.4? Who do they sue if [when] there's a problem with 6.7? This drama is getting old.
when you own it you own it...
partnering leaves too much room for finger pointing...the contractual
agreement had a clause for "shared" liablity....International didnt
want to participate in that part <even though they signed up for it
in the beginning>.
ford is about to show them <international> they cant have their
cake and eat it too !
If i were international id be in a bit of a panic...FORD is internationals
SINGLE LARGEST customer
Whats interesesting to me is that IH's engine issues aren't specific to the 6.0. I have a couple of IH straight trucks, and BOTH have had HPOP issues. Not to mention busted push rods, turbo problems, etc. Most have been warrantee issues, some have not. The place where I work has 3 late model IH straight trucks of there own, 2 have been in for massive amounts of re-call work. 1 seems to be a runner. Maybe Ford see's the writing on the wall. I know as much as I like my trucks, I couldn't really advise anyone to buy an IH. My old DT466's were tough as leather. The newer one's? Not so much.
Cat, Detroit, Cummings and the others have their problems Too.
Not pointing a finger or dumping blame on any one entity, but a Squinty Eyed Glare goes to the.. EPA.
"They" keep coming up with Ever Changing Rules, Regulations and absolute Requirements that are Unrealistic and Unattainable.. FASTER than ANY industry, Foreign or Domestic, has the Research & Development capabilities to deal with.
"WE" end up with Engines, Gas & Diesel, that have had Rocket Science applied to them.. in a Vain attempt to meet an Unrealistic, Unattainable standard(s).. thought up in some "Think Tank", by folks who Don't Have A CLUE.. what the long (or short) term impact is.. or will be... to the Consumer, Private or Commercial.
I sure hope FORD comes up with something a little more "Trusty" this time.
(wrecker came this AM'n towed my neighbors 08 D-Max off.. again... for the 3rd time. Won't start) (fuel system stuff, he sez GM sez)

I'm with Bush & Tail Gunner, that's one ugly front end! I almost traded my baby in on an 08' last week, couldn't get by the front end on it! Even though mine only has 4000 miles left the warranty I'm gonna keep it!

That thing is horrible. I really hope that they don't stay with that ugly hood. That is what make the 08's so nice is that nice big grill.
