Ok, this has gone on long enough. I'm here to set the record straight, I have a friend whose neighbor's brother in law knew a guy who has a cousin that has a friend whose brother went to school with a guy that works at Ford developing super secret stuff. So I guess you could say that I'm "in the know". And he told him that the 6.4 is just talk to cover up the real engine that Ford is going to use in the new trucks.
Here is a link to it.(Oh, and don't tell anyone where you heard this.)

He even mentioned something about putting it in a F-150 in 2008 and even in the Ranger in 2009.

I think i'll just wait and buy a wreck sd with a 6.4, drop it in the ranger......in the bed...pull the 3.0 and turn the engine bay into a trunk...then i can sell the idea to ford and they can call it a 6.4 ranger edge extreme.....yeah.......
...I really need a SD diesel to fill this large void of happiness in my life

The only problem with that I can see with this engine is they are going to have to make the the truck just a little bit bigger to fit the engine into it.

I hope that 525/900 cummings will be as reputable as the powerstoke and the cummins diesels. Ford will really need to do drivetrain upgrades with that amount of power.
How about Dana 70s and 80s front to rear. Six speed auto, seven speed manual. Twin stick transfer case with two reduction selection and 4.56s selectable locking diffs.
