Yes I did. They developed it based on stoichiometry and the 10 speed. Doesn’t change the basic design of the engine being extremely simple.

For start stop to work seamlessly, it's usually done using direct injection. This allows stopping the engine at or very near TDC of any given cylinder & only needing to fire that injector to get the engine started again mostly without using the starter motor.

I had a 15' 6.2 and it was a great engine compare to the 351w I had in my 86 f-250.
Once I got the 6.7 there's no going back to the gassers! They flat out just lack power in the lower / mid rpms where diesel make all of it. My bro got a 18' 6.2 and it's a ****ing turd! But better than the previous gen 6.2! every time I drive it it feels like I'm hauling 30k with it.
the 7.3 gasser is awesome for the ppl that don't want the diesel . but I think they should just faze out the 6.2 after the bugs are worked out of the 7.3. No point to offer 2 gas engines in superdutys . 6.2 held its own keeping up with the out dated GM 6.0 " awesome engine" and 5.7 hemi . The 6.4 hemi Is alright but there's a reason why they offer the 5.7 in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks . And gas mileage is not part of that . Who cares about 1-2mpgs!
my brother has already said he's getting the 6.7 or depending on how the 7.3 is he's not looking back into the 6.2 option.
the cost of owning a diesel is I think blown out of proportion, u buy it new, it's under warranty. if ur putting a lot of miles on the truck either u make good money with it or your retire and have money. I'm prob wrong but either way u spending over 50k for a trim level lariat and above with a gasser or diesel still a lot of money at the end of the day . Enjoy the pic 🗽

I've had 2 gas trucks then last 3 have been diesel. So I've been used to the diesel and hauling with them. This summer, my dad's gas truck was hooked to a trailer and I had to haul a not to heavy load with it. Wow! With mine, I've never had to even push it up our hills. With his, I really had to hit the gas. I forgot how much difference there is. I had entertained thoughts on switching back to gas before this. The 7.3 would be better but still half of the diesel.

Although this is a GM note again, I looked back at the MSRP option for the 8.1 Allison over the 6.0/4L80 for the 2500HD back in 06 and it was $1,950 The Duramax was 3k more then the 8.1. I think it'll be about the same for the 7.3 esp when it comes with a different trans as well...
All Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.2 engine will come with the 10 speed automatic, except for the XL model.

Ram discontinued the 5.7l hemi for the 2019 and beyond HD ram truck. Its replaced by the 6.4l. If Ford meets the power and fuel economy ratings without a big upcharge this will be a huge hit. For those that think Ford wants to sell diesels more...they dont. They want to sell trucks that are most proffitable. Diesel development, warranty cost them much more margin dollars then gas engines. They would be perfectly happy selling whatever makes them the most money. This 7.3l will be more profitable then 6.7l will be for Ford.

Powertrain warranty is only 5 years or 60,000 miles. Majority of the time, by the time warranty expires is when expensive problems start to happen. So would you rather cough up several thousand to fix a one or two things on a PowerStroke or several thousand to just about rebuild the gas engine?
For whatever reason people assume that warranty covers oil changes (some People's kids I swear). Oil changes on the 6.7L should be done around 7500 miles with use of BioDiesel (which pretty much includes diesel in the Midwest), as well as use a 5w40 synthetic oil when using biodiesel (RTFM) or using the truck in severe duty (city driving, towing, hauling).
