[QUOTE="SID297, post: 11119126, member: 8858"] I know this it SVTP, but with a truck is power everything. Is there something an average truck owner does on a daily basis that 362 HP and 457 TQ isn't adequate for? If so, how did they manage before common-rail diesels became the norm? How many parts will you have to replace on any modern diesel to get it to survive to 1,000,000 miles? You seem to fall into the "need a diesel" category. What killed the gassers you had? Thanks:beer: Most people don't seem to keep a truck much past 100,000 miles. I doubt less than 1% of new truck purchasers keep their trucks to 400,000 miles. All true. The durability and longevity of the 6.7 is certainly not set in stone. It'll be interesting how things play out over the next few years. I'd love to have a 3v V10 Excursion with a 6R140 tranny and an 09 front end and interior. The EPA engines are just like the gas engines in the late 70's. They are going through their growing pains, figuring out this new mandated technology. Did you guys keep up the oil and fuel filter changes on the 6.0s and use Motorcraft filters? In my experience, most 6.0 injector problems can be traced back to improper maintenance. What were the issues with the other 6.4L? The turbo failure on the other 6.4L was likely due to the elevated EGTs produced by the regen process. The 300 Six is a legend. I wish Ford still used the inline six architecture. Imagine the 300 with a turbo and a DOHC head like the Australian 4.0 engine.:dancenana: [/QUOTE]
