6.8 & 7.3 engine
If you haven't seen this video it explains the 6.8 and 7.3 some, along with the 6.7s.
Minute 11 area gets to the gas engines.
The 7.3 torque upgrade was the upgraded pistons, piston rings and water pump said in the video.

I watched it a day or two ago and gleaned a few good info nuggets. I'm hoping that they quietly nailed down their sporadic lifter quality issues too (not that it was a huge deal to begin with). But wouldn't hurt to have a bit more peace of mind.

OK, there is not a savings to Ford of $1,700 in the 6.8. It's basically just a different crank. Is the transmission that much cheaper? Is Ford just taking a lower profit on the 6.8?
I'd further bet that BOTH engines are cheaper to build than the 6.2 was.

Andre and the rest of them could aleast when going to these promo events try to look professional with maybe golf shirt with their logo on it instead of a big belly smuck just off the street corner asking quetions. Might as well whip out the selfie stick and do the q&a.

If any of you guys are interested in taking the Ford ASE course for the 2023 F series feel free to PM me, ill let you use my Ford Cert # to sign up for the class. I have two authorized spots I didn't use this year. The course gets you hands on with the 6.8L and 10R100 and provides all the 2023 F series engineering and service literature that is provided to us Ford Certified Techs.
Nothing to fear of the lesser 6.8L/10R100 and the 10R100 is not at all "basically an F150 transmission".... Same rumor said about the 6R100 transmission that is just plain false.

The 7.3 doesn't show up on Ford's site for ordering, at least on the F Super Duty. The 6.8 and the diesels do. The detuned 7.3 shows for the Medium Duty trucks. Is this because of durability issues?
