For those who think the new 6.7L is going to be a junker because of all the new stuff on it, look at this link to Ford's new 6.4L. Can you even see the engine.........................

I really don't think there is an engine in there. Just a cover for a bunch of lithium iode laptop batteries.(that's what I heard anyway).

That thing is going to eat them alive in warranty claims !!!! Notice how the intercooler is totally unprotected and the head bolts don't look improved to me . Can't wait to blow the doors off one of those duallies !!!

Well, I can make out the two stage(twin) turbo set-up in that rats nest, and it says "Ford Powerstroke Diesel" on the front of the fan shroud, so what else could it be?

Wow! Nothing there to go wrong . Looks they are using a c-channel frame and keeping the glow plug.

All those poooor people who will be rolling dice with $50,000 bucks, better invest in the loooooooooogest extended warranty that Ford offers on that thing.

Because that way, if Ford can't fix it, you can lemon law the POS, and get a Cummins or even a D-Max.

Customer pay on that engine is going to be $$$$=GOLD for the techs.
Warranty will be a the same as bankruptcy for the techs.

Just watch all the Ford techs start to try and void warrantys because of a bumper sticker, just to get to be a customer pay job.

I'll be a Cummins owner for a reallllllly long time.

Was there even an engine block in that mess? Maybe I didn't scroll through enough of the pictures.
