Exclamation 2008 6.4L Crankshaft Recall

"Yesterday, Ford announced they are recalling all 2008 6.4 PSD SuperDuty's due to crankshafts that are not properly balanced, which is causing grenaded engines. Ford has fixed the problem for trucks manufactured after march 13, 2007. However since the Ford factories are producing at maximum capacity, all recalls will not be completed for 12-18 months."

Makes me glad I got the 07.









































































































































































































































































































































APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. I'll admit it. You got me. Sad, eh?

And all I could think to myself was 'gee, I'm so glad I ordered a V10'!!

Exclamation

Kinda sad that they wouldn't have caught this!

Before I picked up on April Fool's Day joke, it went thru my mind. Will FORD replace the engines or just the crank. From my experiences I immediately answered my own question and said, 50,000 crank shafts meant 400,000 fuel lines, and a whole new breed of flame throwers!
