Is there any differances with the 6.0 made at different engine plants? Is one plant better than the other? Did one plant make changes to the platform before the other?

 

Related question:

How much commonality in parts is there between the 6.4 and the 6.0?

Did they use the same block and just stroked it?

Same heads?


If you ever track down the early 6.0 issues down to one plant.. or one shift... one operator (e.g. the casting sand issue)...

Don't post the name of the fella.. we don't want to be responsible.

 

I have thought the same.

 

This is what I was able to find.



The new Power Stroke diesel is being manufactured by International Engine Group, an operating company of Navistar International Corp., at Navistar’s Indianapolis Engine Plant and at its new plant in Huntsville, Ala. F-Series Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs equipped with the new optional engine and transmission will begin production this fall at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Ky. They will begin arriving in dealer showrooms in early 2003.

The 6.4 base engine is of the same design as the 6.0--two-piece crankcase with aluminum upper oil pan/windage tray; cylinder heads with four-valves per cylinder; single pushrod/rocker arm actuating two valves through a bridge; rear timing gear set. But that is where the similarities end

 

If my memory is still right, Navistar was making the 6.0 at 2 engine plants. Alabama, and I think Indiana?
