diesel?????

[bookem15]

I have been reading on here for alot longer than posting but just have to ask the almighty question. I have been reading where ford has pushed off the installation of the diesel in the f150 to 2010 but I am in the market for a new truck and I would like to stay with a f150, but waiting for the diesel. Does anyone on here know a somewhat close date that the diesel will make its way in or at least the 6.2 liter boss engine prior to 2010 I hope. Any links or information would be nice thanks for any info.

Anyone who's willing to promise you a date that either of those will be available is either lying, or getting fired by ford.....no one that can tell you knows yet...

That is what I figured but thought is worth asking. I was just looking the price difference of the f150 to the f250/f350 and it looks like I would be better off buying f250/f350

Well since it's been made public ( http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...cummins-2.html ).....
The diesel will be early 2010CY and the 6.2 will be 2010MY.

So I guess that means ford has given up on trying to be first with the diesel in the 1/2 ton trucks then. I guess we will have to settle for a 4 way tie for first. lol


I will just have to go buy a used f150 06 07 to get me buy until they come out with the diesel then. thanks for the link DD

I didn't see in that article anything about the 5.4 3v getting tweaked. But there is something new for it in the near future, I just don't know if I can say what it is yet.

[powerstroke1350]

it definately needs to be tweaked.

[V10_Cougar]

So this is it for 2010

6.7 Scorpion Diesel, 4.4 Lion Diesel, 5.8L V8, 6.2L V8 BOSS

[powerstroke1350]

how exciting!! v8 boss sounds nice, but not very fuel efficent..still tritons i assume? scorpion diesel and lion huh? thats kinda weird...

I understand guess I will have to wait and see I suppose the 6sp would help quite a bit??

Go and drive a 08 Expedition to get a feel of what the 6 speed trans does.

ya know...i don't think the 5.4 needs all that much tweaking......i step on it and it goes....afterall it is a truck...not a mustang.....
