Maybe Ford should have tested these motors with low cetane fuel (40 - 42) which is the most common fuel most of us buy. They should have bought from regular fuel stations like the rest of us do?

Maybe Ford should have towed and worked these trucks like many of us do?

Maybe Ford should have tested a few "aftermarket tuners" just to develop a "worse case senerio" base line and knowing that many deisels get
tested" this way?

Maybe Ford should have towed at max rating throught the mountains to check for head gasket failure and "puking" and done more than a 1 week run.

Maybe Ford should have trained all their techs "proactively" instead of "on the job training". They have done better on the 6.4L... but not to do so for the 6.0L was a mistake.

Maybe Ford should have stayed with the "stock" Nasvistar tune and not tried to boost the HP and torque as much as they did? Navistar does not even come close to having the problems that Ford does with their version (VT365) of this motor?

Maybe Ford should have used the Navistar electronics and injectors like Navistar uses and not try and "redevelop" the motor with their engineers?
