Next year Ford claims that their 6.0L is going to put out roughly 400hp STOCK!!!! It puts out 363hp now and those trucks go very good! 400 ponies stock, with an aftermarket pipe and chip think what you could get!!!Like I said in a previous thread I would kill to have them make something like a 3.5L turbo diesel ford ranger!!!!
Someday when I'm not 16 and I have $$$ I'll be riding in an F-250 DIESEL!!!!

And Ford now hgas the contract with Cummings right? Either way 40 horses stock is inpressive. and if you want a small diesel "ranger" type truck look up a volkswagon Diesel. Rabbit pickup

It's a real shame IMO about the rangers. Ford makes them in quad cab models with diesel engines for other countries!
This new Diesel for the super duties, is it the new 6.4?

The have too big of a stake in Navistar to be doing contracts with Cummings.

I thought the contract between Dodge and Cummings expired and Cummings signed with Ford?

As far as I know they still have a couple years with Dodge. Dodge is considering a Mercedes diesel engine when the contract is up. That's not a bad thing either, I think that will be a fine engine too. As far as Ford buying Cummins I think it's just rumor but I'm only right half the time, lol. I would change my mind real quick if I saw an article on it. Something that big would have been published some where.

Catch me if you can
Ford does not own any part of Cummins and as far as I know at this time Dodge/Cummins have a special agreement together that doesnt expire till like 2012 or somethin.

Yup
Ford is doing away with the 6.0, in favor of their new 6.4. That's why it's getting more power.

Very true. I wish all these Ford/Cummins rumors would stop. It ain't gonna happen people. As for the new Ford, look at my user name and tell me what I would pick. For those who can't figure it out, I'll choose a Cummins any day.

the reason the rumor keeps going and all the ford guys want dodge to loose cummins is because they know its the best diesel available and they cant admit that so they want it to go away so the ford stuff can stand a chance not saying that the others are no good just not as good in my opinion an inline engine will always outlast a v8 or any v engine thats proven just look at the 300 6 banger they run forever by the way fords been gonna get cummins "next year" since doge started using them i just think its funny how ford guys cant wait for ford to get cummins but they insist that thier stokers are so much better blah blah blah

Like I said, if I could have afforded an F-250 6.0L I would have got one. Or they made a diesel Ranger size truck!
Diesels last WAY longer, have WAY more torque and you never have to change a single spark plug! The disadvanteges are they cost more (a little too much I nthink) and they are more to work on (agian too much). Oh and if you are a pansy they are "too noisy" as well. hahaha I love the sound of a catapilar diesel!!! Ford should put cat 6 banger in their trucks!!!
