why yes more expensive is better!!! Better materials for a better product !!!! Not hard to figure that one out now is it!!! Would you like the cheaper made brake pads or the more expensive better material used brake pad?

Never said I didn't want a quality product and good materials (kind of goes back to what I said about people accepting new things), but I don't blindly buy a product based on $$$.
Like someone else said, you don't like don't buy it. I am sure Ford would gladly sell you a more expensive, (or any other aftermarket parts supplier for that matter) replacement. Don't worry about the quality, just make it expensive!
This is getting off topic so I'll leave it at that.

Actually it looks like his whole two posts on that site are post #1 and #3 in that thread. He works at the factory; what factory? (engine, truck, oil pan)
Maybe it is on the level but whole thread seems strange to me. Why does he need to order one if he doesn't have the truck? If he had the truck he wouldn't have to wait till Monday to check on the thread size when he goes back to work. I guess he could have a truck on order.
Time will tell.

When I went to change my oil for the first time, I already had my Fumoto valve. My motor had a part number listed so I could be prepared.
His new steel pan has no part number for a Fumoto valve, so the only way to find out is to pull the plug, ask around, or in his case go check it out at work.

The guys on the DieselStop Forum are questioning just it like we are. They asked where he works, I am not sure we will get a response.
The original poster there just joined today to post a question about something he could answer himself tomorrow........ok.
Thanks for the other article, interesting.

But why is the part number the same? Just the comment on the build date. Wouldn't it be a different part number if it was a different pan?
Wondering minds want to know.

A better question would be. Why the change for the new trucks?

My curiosity drove me to stick my head under a new 6.7. Looks like if it did for some odd reason need to be replaced it would take me all of five minutes to change out, including finishing my morning coffee, since it is just the bottom of the sump that is "plastic". There is enough "plastic" parts holding back oil on engines these days that I am most certainly not going worry it-up here in the rust belt I consider this pan an advantage. Yes corrosion protection can be achieved with aluminium but being able to drop the sump has service advantages as well (sludged oil sensors come to mind-not everybody sevices there trucks like us).
