I still think Ford should build their own diesels. This is not some mystical, black art. Hire some good engineers and get 'er done. That way at least (we hope) it's done right. They build gas motors. Why diesels are so different is beyond me.

I think that the current market model of outsourcing diesel engines has to more to do with the mindset of the average diesel truck buyer than any engineering concerns. I'd rather have a Ford under the hood. Until then, gassers for me.

That out of the way, International needs to pay their part for warranty costs. If they need to go to a different supplier and for whatever reason cant do it themselves, then so be it! I'd like to see a John Deere in there!
