Is there any differances with the 6.0 made at different engine plants? Is one plant better than the other? Did one plant make changes to the platform before the other?

Don't post the name of the fella.. we don't want to be responsible.
The new Power Stroke diesel is being manufactured by International Engine Group, an operating company of Navistar International Corp., at Navistar’s Indianapolis Engine Plant and at its new plant in Huntsville, Ala. F-Series Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs equipped with the new optional engine and transmission will begin production this fall at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Ky. They will begin arriving in dealer showrooms in early 2003.
