This is an older photo:



I dont know if there is a newer photo showing the rod difference of the DMAX and newer Ford 6.0L

That old picture probably should be retired. As I recall, it had a B-series Cummins rod, a 7.3L Powerstroke rod and a 6.2 or 6.5L Chevy rod. The latter 2 engines are, of course, obsolete.

Edit: Rich beat me to it!

Even though obselete, that pic still is worth over 1,000 words.

There's another picture floating around with the newer Chevy and Ford rods, but it looks doctored.

We need a new pic, with the current rods shown just like the above pic.

That is my challenge to the members, find and photog the current rods.
Maybe with a couple rulers as reference, kinda like they do crime scene pictures.

They had the current rods at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on display at the Dodge booth along with the pistons. Cummins is still the largest by a big margin.

Here's the one I have that is supposed to be the newest one. It could be not true as well. The powerchoke rod looks small, but when you getting 4300rpm's out of the engine you need light weight weak stuff floppin around in there.

Ya, that's the one that looks a little altered.
