Deffinately a 12v, has a VE pump on it, look at the 3rd pic down and you'll see the AFC cover of the VE. I wonder what the CPL# is and what hp/torque it set at.

It's a 3.9L B-series, with Common-rail injection. In Brazil, smaller diesels are the norm. It's really odd to see an F-250 SD regular-cab Short-bed.

From this site, https://www.ford.com.br/Default.asp
aim your mouse up toward the vechiles area - go to "Pickups" and they "F-250..." click there. Then point toward "Dados Do Veiculo" and then on "Motor" which comes up above it. Also "Especificacoes" will show you the specifications in more detail. Wish there was more detail here, sort of an odd site.

Well Diesel trucks are evolving by the time 2010 gets hear these engines are going to get more and more complex. For example the exshaust recirculation system on the 07 that stuff sucks plain and simple. The injection on these trucks is getting more and more fine, we are going to reach a point where everyone is going to be buying up the "simple engines" . You just wait.

Looks to be a 4 cyl. Look how far back it's set. 6 cylinders would be halfway in the cab.

You are right the F250 has the common rail 3.9L.

The F350 has a 120hp 4BTA, so I retract my previous statement saying it was a 12 valve and now happly state correctly it is only 8 valves. The Crew cab appears to have a 141 hp version.
This link will bring you to the F350 trucks.

I think it's cool. I don't understand why the Manufactures don't give us an option of different HP diesels. 4, 6, or V8 I don't care I want some options

I still want to start a company named "Cummings" and see if Ford will buy me out just so the people that say that will be right...

If Ford's engineers don't mess with the Cummins engine, I would have no problem owning a Ford Cummins diesel. I don't really have any brand loyalty. I happen to like my Dodge, but I don't like it because it's a Dodge. It happens to be an excellent truck.

They did give different hp options, haven't heard of the S.O. (Standard Output) 250hp or the H.O. (High Output) 305hp, and if you wanted to go to california to get it 235hp. But then the 600 series hit with 50 state legal emissions.

Cummins midsouth was at the Indiana State Fair this year and the subject of the Ford owns Cummins thing came up and he stood up and told everyone that Ford Owns no part of Cummins. This was last friday. However he said thst in Brazil they put Cummins engines in Fords. These pictures are definately a 3.9bt with a VE pump. All old school, no epa crap just a proven engine that is easy to work on and will last forever.

The deal with Cummins for 2010 is for a V6 and a small V8 diesel for use in 1/2 tons and suv's. My zone sales manage says iit is either with us (DC) or Nissan. We'll see.

Not this again
ACTUALLY, IF YOU READ YHE WALL STREET JOURNAL EVERY DAY, YOUD KNOW THAT FORD NO LONGER OWNS ANY PART OF CUMMINS SINCE 2002. IN FACT, CUMMINS PUT MONEY BACK INTO FORD JANUARY 2006, SO ROLES ARE REVERSED. CUMMINS ACTUALLY OWNS A PIECE OF FORD. THIS WAS DONE AS HELP MONITARILY DUE TO FORD LOSSES OF SHARE IN THE MARKET, TO APPEASE SHARE HOLDERS.
