Ford's 6.7L is suppose to be spectacular but.............still unproven IMO, and Ford has not made a diesel close to great since the 7.3L in what...2003??

Duramax and Powerstrokes have a HP/TQ edge, but their V-8's engines are 200-300 lbs lighter. Guess that could be argued as a positive but ....??
The 6.6L Duramax has an AL. heads , Ford does not.

Scorpion - ??

So what were the observations? I actually haven't heard anything about the Ford 6.7 lately...
Thats right, Dodge is the only truck that still offers a manual transmission.

Having put a couple hundred thousand miles on a pair of PowerJokes in the '90's, it's a shame F**D diesels rolled further downhill after the 7.3 NaviStar clunkers.
