im not a really big fan of the powerjokes but i hear that they are coming out with twins on stock 07 trucks. i know new cat dump trucks have them but would ford really put twin turbos on puckup trucks. i was just wondering if anyone have heard this before

 

According to the salesman referrenced in this thread:
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...threadid=71512

they already are.

I also heard they were going to twins, but I heard from my brother, who heard from someone on another forum, who heard from....

 

i also heard that its going to be a twin turbo 6.4 which is basically just a 6.0h thats bored out and has got another turbo whoopty frickin doo

 

My thoughts exactly


IF they still cannot get the 6.0 right, then what are they doing putting more parts on it that are prone to failiure as well? Its not funny seeing an 05 on the side of the road cause it wont start anymore, much less cause the PCM on it went out.. why didnt they just keep the 7.3? Emmissions is my guess...

they got rid of the decent 7.3 because of emissions your right but i think this 6.4 twin turbo is just going to be a bunch more headaches for people

 

I've seen a Ford broke down in front of my house pulling a 5'er. It was slightly moded... AFe Air box, Perfromance Box of some sort... And gauges on the A-Pillar... It lost the intercooler boot... Blew off at about 19-22 PSI of boost... Well I told him the Dodge trick with hair spray... He wasn't too happy with the idea so he opted for Ferd parts...

Bailin wire & Duct Tape! - I sure hope he made it over the grade...

 

i also believe it gets siemens version of the HPCR system [not the bosch like cummins & dmax use]
i hope it is more reliable than the g2 heui's siemens made

 

eitherways

i think it adds up to problems.... I am not bashing the 6.0 i have ridden in a buddys single cab chipped truck and GOOD LORD! IT MOVES! Pulling, well pulls like a gasser, the computer controled turbo is a doozy too, really nice almost instant spool up when u demand it, which gives it the diesel feel, yet the high rpms and lack of low end grunt really kill the buzz quickly and gives u that gasser feel again.. the only thing that is killing that 6.0, is all the ford tweaks it has, Why has it been successful in the medium truck version as the VT 365 for a few years now and as soon as it hits fords, its a dud, that is the question... As far as that 6.4 twin goes, more parts to break, more prone to failuire which is gonna probly reduce ford sales worse than the 6.0 did... My predictions, dont get me wrong ford makes a good truck, they just mess up the engine somehow...

ferd better change there intercooler ,a buddy of mine has had to switch to a banks cooler cuz the plastic tanks blow up

 

ford's got plastic tanks too???

i thought only dodge did that for the 05's...

 

The only thing ive seen with twins factory is the vt 275 which they are suppose to be testing for light duty ford trucks. Ive seen the engine, I saw it in a class as i am an international mechanic. The truck story could be hear say from my teacher

 

How in the Heck do they fit twins under the hood of a FORD (Farts out Radiator Dust)
cause they have absolutely no room under there.

 

Looked up some numbers today, Now this is on the Heavy duty 275, I expect the ford version to differ. but its 200 hp at 2700 rpm and 440 ftlb at 1800 rpm
