Actually, the thread is still there, they changed the name to "08's are Great".

That ford tech sure was throwing a line of bull. All these new engines are designed to run on nothing but ULSD. How many times does it have to be said to these guys that ULSD has lubricity additives that replace the sulfur so that argument doesn't even hold water. I guess Ford will use whatever excuse they can. Navistar has Ford right where they want them, they supply the engine to Ford's biggest money maker. Ford should drop them like a bad habit and go somewhere else. Even if Cat can't meet the demand somebody has to be able to. Maybe Perkins or Mercedes or even Detroit. If they put a MBE 900 Detroit in there they would finally have some competition for the cummins.

Not to mention that the Mercedes and Detroits are owned by Daimler-Chrysler. Might be bad to supply the competition with engines. Then again, they could make some good money. Ford does outsell Dodge.

So what?! Every engine manufacturer has problems with stuff like injectors and EGR valves. I just replaced an EGR valve on a Cummins at work yesterday. We see plenty of injectors on common rail engines stick open and burn up whole engines. Ford/navistar is not the only one with problems. Cummins and Duramax have many of the same issues.

Anyway, the other day a guy comes on the site and starts a post called "08 dead on the side of the road with 577 miles". He said it was running rought and then it quit and the crankcase was full of fuel. He said something about an injector failing.

OK, no problem. Then today the guy comes on the site and says oh no, it was just that he got a tank of gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Except that when he originally told the story, he didn't say anything about it smoking like it would if it got gasoline. He just said it ran rough.

And how would gasoline cause the crankcase to fill with fuel ! Doesn't make sense !

So then someone points that out and the whole thread miraculously disappears ! That has to be the worst case of censorship I've ever seen.

So what was up with that truck ? Wanna bet that Ford has injector issues on their hands again ? Wanna bet that The Diesel Stop doesn't want people to figure that out ?
I MIGHT sniff close for a troll (the guy posting about the 08, not you)....I think its a LITTLE soon to be seeing issues, but who knows.

Good thing is injector replacments on the 6.4 are really really really easy!!!

(under the valve covers, under the turbos, under the rocker assembly, cab off procedure, didnt Ford learn anything from GM messing that up on the LB7??)

I know the guy who posted that over at the dieselstop. He is far from a B.Ser. Anyhow, I think the main reason he changed the story line is because some of the retards over there were giving him a hard time about the post!

If the 6.4 is junk, it'll be a secret too big to keep.
