Acutally, it is my understanding that International has had this engine out for 5-6 years, and it is working great with none of the problems ford is having. Ford on the other hand chose to go with this new engine, and never bothered to make sure the electronics were compatible between the engine (international) and the ford computer.
I hold Ford completely accoutable for this mess. Their rush to production has resulted in inumerable headaches for the consumers (us).

Tim,
congratulations on becoming a moderator. I am relatively new to this site but try to read as much as possible. If one reads too little, they may become paranoid. I have enjoyed your thoughts and insights to many a matter and appreciate your well balanced, even-handed approach to questions and discussions.
Great job!
I have a question regarding the 6.0. I have noticed a black powder like substance clinging to anything in the line of fire of the exhaust pipe. Its marked its territory from the beginning. Is this normal for diesels and the 6.0(this is my first)?
Thanks,
John

Yes, I have to agree this is a wonderful forum. It is very helpful to the working man that has just spent 35,000 to 50,000 on a diesel work horse. I hope ford gets these issue's with the 6.0 worked out and i am sure they will....
I just started having probs with my 6.0 and look forward to new post to see if others are experiencing the same.
Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!! Tim...
Keep them diesel's rolln~

Gosh Tim, you told me once before you didn't have a life. You must really have an understanding wife, if you are married. Good luck in your new position.

Well.....on the othr hand maybe.............
By the way, since we have not chatted in a bit, I love the oil-guard and the Mobile Delvac.
The truck is a different animal, idles smother, starts easier…incredable.
Changed it at 3k miles and did the oil sample on the Ford oil so now I am off to happy motoring with great oil.
Thanks for the many explanation…….and your patience

Are you seeing the issues with the C94 and C95 injectors as Ford is seeing?

Where has EMTabmm been, or did he fall prey to the big blue oval, just as one of our old friends did? Hope not. Hope he just took vacation or something.
