In this video at ~3:22 it shows under the hood and what I can tell it looks identical to the current engine setup.

Only thing I don't like are the door handles. It wouldn't matter if I still lived in the "heat", but now in the ice and snow my other vehicles with similar style handles get frozen. The paddle door handles don't collect ice and snow as easily.
Otherwise, it is starting to grow on me. Waiting for the sticker shock of a Platinum trim truck though.

It is routed different. Only got to look under the hood of a diesel for about 5 seconds.

For me, the most important offerings of this truck include the LED headlights, the big sunroof, more rear legroom in the crew cab, and the aluminum itself.
To me, a back-up camera and possibly a camera mounted in the high brake lamp are the only useful cameras. These are most useful in hooking up to a trailer.

Now that my requirement for a dually no longer exists, I'm possibly back in the market for the new SD. Minus the sunroof, Nav and hopefully without Sirius.
While I am pretty solid in the Blue-Oval camp, I'll be looking at GM and Dodge as well to see who comes up with the best package for me.
I'm really hoping that they can come up with an alternative for Urea / DEF at some point, but since the industry has spent so much time and money on the infrastructure for the dispensing of DEF, it's rather doubtful in the short term..

So breaking it, will give someone access? Anyway, I try to avoid high crime areas and don't live in one.

I, too, really like the Peterbilt-style exterior door handles on the current Super Duty.
