6.0 injecter problems

hey all, i see from all the treads that fords new 6.0 has a few bugs in it. i just wanted to pass along something i saw on the web site ,, www.blueovalnews.com it has a posting in there that shows that fords had a problem with the injectors causing it to basically destroy the engine, and news reads that they won't issue a recall for this problem... not sure if anyone has saw this but if you have then just disreguard this as you are up to date for the engine. the treads reads :::: EARLY 2003 POWERSTROKE 6.0 ENGINES ARE TICKING TOMB BOMBS .. so you can find it pretty easy. ya'll take it easy. C.J. ........

The reason they haven't issued a recall is two fold. 1) they don't believe that every injector is destined to failure and 2) they haven't determined if the C95 injectors have completely solved the problem yet (I don't know if they will issue a recall even if that determination is made). It wouldn't be prudent to recall 75,000 trucks to replace all 8 injectors in each truck with an unproven replacement injector.

Have any C95 injectors failed, yet?

Not to my knowledge. Keep in mind that they probably wouldn't tell me even if I asked them directly (especially if the answer is yes).

What relations does The Diesel Dude have with the FORD MOTOR COMPANY?

Keep in mind, I am fairly new here.

I don't work for Ford, I work for International -- we make the engines.

You construct the engines?

WOW, nifty.

I wonder how many people have engines that have been constructed by you.

I run the Cold Tester on second shift. It is quite an amazing piece of equipment.

I'm sure it is.

I'd love to see how that entire line of manufacturing works.
