I was checking Ford's website today regarding the power output of the new 6.0 PSD. They are rating it the same as the truck version (325hp and 560ftlb).

I remember a thread a little while ago that said that the engine was detuned due to clearance problems in the van compared to the truck.

Which is correct? I am assuming that Ford's website is accurate. But, they also said that the PSD is available with the 6spd manual trans. I tried to build and price one on the website, but there was no 6 spd manual offered.

Is Ford full of poo-poo? What is the output of the 6.0 in the van?

By the way, this is how I outfitted the van, the ultimate family truckster, unfortunately, I suffered major sticker shock, $38 grand, ouch
