In my travels around the internet I run across many questions and some mindless speculations about the new 6.7 engine. One is regarding the use of a composite oil pan. Are you able to fill in some of the blanks on this decision? Thanks again for the great information you have already provided.

And if you are taking topics, for future articles.

Exhaust Brakes and how they work in Fords application.
Effectiveness, etc

 

I agree on the exhaust brake as well. Ford is taking an awful beating on other non Ford sites over the perceived operation of the tow/haul/exhaust brake.

The exhaust braking would be an excellent topic for Paul to speak on. Inquiring minds want to know! I am very familiar with how VGT exhaust braking operates on different platforms, but I don't have a clue what's going on with this 6.7.

I'm making the assumption that it is not very aggressive as I don't see the boost gauge move at all. With aggressive turbo/exhaust braking on a 6.0, it will easily make 10-12 lbs of boost in the upper rpm with a good load behind you. Perhaps the wastegate plays a role in this.

 

Very interesting. I would love to have more info on the exhaust braking.
