This still doesn`t sound good, but at least things may move till maybe Navistar goes to court and gets this lifted....

A repost from the 2008 6.4L Power Stroke Diesel forum.

Ford Super Duty production cut in wake of Power Stroke dispute

Amid all the other problems facing Ford, now they're having to cut production of
one of their most in-demand and profitable vehicles just weeks after launching
it. Three quarters of the 200,000 Super-Duty pickup trucks that Ford sells
annually are equipped with the Power Stroke diesel V-8 made by International
Truck. In the previous generation of the trucks, the 6.0L version had an
unusually high number of warranty problems. This caused Ford to sue
International in January to try and recover some of those repair costs.
Subsequently, when production of the new 6.4L engine began for the new trucks,
Ford held back money from their payments to International to cover those
warranty costs. In response, International suspended engine production this
week. Now Ford has started cutting production of the trucks, starting March 1,
with daily shifts going from three to one on March 5. Ford has 50,000 dealer
orders for the new Super Duty and they desperately need to get this issue
resolved. The diesels are popular because they have higher towing capacity than
either of the two available gas engines and also get much better fuel economy.
Update: Late on Wednesday an Oakland County judge issued a court oder requiring
International to resume production and shipments of the 6.4L engines to Ford
while the dispute is settled. Because they stopped ordering engine parts it's
not clear when production would actually resume but Ford expects full production
to resume sometime next week.
Update 2: International has said they will comply with the court order and
resume shipments of engines to Ford. Part of the order was that Ford will pay
for the engines without withholding any money from their warranty cost dispute.

Exhaust noise isn`t good on a trip but the nice purr of a diesel is sweet.
The L8000 7.8 has a nice exhaust note, once in awhile on a nice summer`s day I roll down the passenger`s window just to hear that sound. Not loud but sweet! Then there`s the whine of the turbo.....Guess I must have Ford blue diesel in my veins
