i do like the LCD screen in the gauge cluster. I wouldnt wanna know what that would cost if it got broken or failed.

+1 That's very neat.

cant wait to see how hard this engine fails. just joking .. we'll see if bringing the diesel in house will change things.. the 6.0 was pitiful.. and i never owned one.. that statement is coming from FORD guys. Went through turbos and head gaskets like they were goin outta style. and the last.. the 6.4... not that impressive either. im wishing ford luck on this one.

One of our utility trucks (2004 Super Duty, long box, ext. cab) needed a new 6.0 PSD at 11K miles.

Our newest ambulance needed a new 6.0 PSD at 50K miles.

I have read many articles that Navistar did not have near the problems with the VT365 (Navistar's name for the 6.0 PSD) that Ford did in their applications. It also put out much less power. They speculate that, despite Navistar's recommendation, Ford insisted on increasing the power numbers to "win" on paper comparisons.

Some of the power figures I have seen for the Navistar version was 230HP and 620TQ...while in the Super Duty, it's output was around 325HP and 565TQ. The engine's electronics are different as well. Some even say that the injectors are different too.

But people love to blame the whole thing on Navistar...

They're ok......but the 6.0 was a fiasco.

I much prefer the 7.3. I don't think anyone can argue that engine was bullet proof.

Personally, truck have gotten so unnecessarily big lately, I think they all should get the Navistar DT466 and be done with it. That engine has been fantastic from the day my grandpa was appointed as Chief Engineer.

There is not a trip you take that you don't pass a truck powered by a DT466.

Im not liking some of the stuff with this one....the interior door panels, grille, and the 6.7 powerstroke badge are hideous! Otherwise not too bad...hopefully the new diesel works as well or better than expected....

A billet grille the size of a fricken billboard!
