There are 6.7 on the road I would guess. The 6.4 was in use at Syncrude for 2 years before it was released. Schlumberger had test mules too.
I'll second this.
I knew a company out of calgary that had a 6.4 long before the release, only thing is that from what guys told me it looked nothing like a 2008 superduty, the body was a 2007 style, and the engine bay was very "rough" looking, with nothing looking finished, if that makes any sense.
The only thing about the 6.7 is that it apparently needs urea, and if ford leases off some test mules, where the heck do they buy urea?

I tried to find a pic with the least visible tell-tale signs...
Gm Decals in the engine conpartment, coolant bottle,dipstick,oil fill, fenders, blah blah blah did i mention i work on them numerous times in the week? Nice try coulda maybe picked something nobody ever seen before other than a duracrap.
After owning my 6.7 for under a week, I was disappointed to check the oil just now and find that at least 2 quarts is missing, only having put 400 km on the truck so far.
The truck has been good so far, but I cant believe where the oil went
It hasnt even been smoking,
I hate to say it, but I may be returning the 6.7 and begging for my 02 7.3 back...

Just about every diesel engine manufacturer has said they will be using SCR as part of the emission system come 2010 and that will require the use of DEF (Diesel Emissions Fluid). DEF is a non-toxic mixture of 67.5% demineralized water and 32.5% high grade urea.
I know DEF is currently available in the US from bulk distributors. I believe Volvo and Mack dealers across the counrty are also already (or soon will be) stocking DEF.

I hope, no I PRAY, that with the use of urea, the new 6.7 will at least flirt with 20 MPG.

The urea is used for something completely different then the DPF. The urea is used to reduce Nitrogen Oxides (maybe some other chemicals as well?). You will still have the DPF, and you will still have regens. Perhaps now since DPF technology has been out for a while, ford will be able to make adjustments to it to allow for extended time without regens to bump up mileage

True, but SCR will allow manufacturers to reduce the amount of exhaust gases recirculated back into the engine as well as tuning the engine for a better more efficient burn. This will reduce the ammount of particulate matter going to the DPF in turn reducing the frequency of regens. SCR may also completely eliminate the need for a active regen of the DPF and it may only require passive regens...
