NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
I went looking for a new desel truck and was told by a sales man that Ford was bringing out a 6.7 L which would produce 345 hp and 610 lb torque. I would be coming out in limited numbers in about 2003 and in full production in about 2004-05. that is all the info I have.. I have even contacted Ford but to no avail.
Hope that helps

It doesn't say a whole lot but does say it will be a 6.0L with increased performance, economy, reliability, and sound qualities.

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
The latest information I have is that it will indeed be a 6.0L engine and it should be in full production for the 2003 model year except in Econoline vans which will continue to use the Brazilian version Power Stroke for at least 1 more year. My sources indicate 300 HP and 600 Ft.Lb. of torque at peak torque. It will have second generation HUEI injectors, 4 push rod actuated valves per cylinder and in some of my previous posts I indicated it would have a hydraulically actuated variable pitch turbocharger, which would eliminate the need for a waste gate. I can't confirm that at this time. My latest information indicates this may NOT be in the cards. I've seen pictures of the complete engine and have had my hands on the bare block and heads but that is about all I know at this time.

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
I found some info on the 6.0. It is rated at 305@3600rpm and 550@2000rpm. Is suppose to get 19mpg in the city and 23.2mpg on the highway. Will weigh 200lbs less than the 7.3. As for the 4.5 I haven't found any specs on it yet. I think it will sell like crazy in the light-duty.

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
I just talked to one of our contract designers who just came from Ford and he says the 6.0L will be introduced at a lower power level than it will eventually end up at in the future. He says it will most likely be introduced at 305 hp but look for it to increase over the years. As far as the 4.5L, he says they've been testing it in an Expy and it has a ton of vibration problems at the moment. V6 engines aren't the most perfectly balanced engines to begin with. He says the crankshaft and flywheel are massive just to calm this engine down. I think an inline 4 cyl. would be a better solution here.

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
I went to two dealers this weekend. Asked some questions. Firs one told me that they were discontinuing the 7.2PS in lieu of the 6.0. The other dealer told me that that was BS, and that the 7.3 would still be available, as on order option.

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
Right from Ford:
6.0L Diesel, available early 2003 in F-250 and F-350.
325 HP, 550 ft-lb torque.
Go to this Ford Motor web site, click on the F-series Super-Duty overview link and surf around.
http://media.ford.com/products/model.cfm?vehicle_id=708
When the lease is up on my 2000 this coming March, a 6.0L F-250 is definitely on my list to replace it...Granted, there's always a risk in buying a newly-designed product, but, wow, the specs, the torque, power and mileage (20+ MPG) are unbelieveable.
I'll bet you'll be able to chip the thing, put on an aftermarket exhaust, etc, and get 400 HP and 600 ft-lbs out of the thing.
Drool, Drool....

One more thing, according to the specifications section of that Ford web site, they are NOT dropping the 7.3 PSD in 2003. After mid year *both* diesels will be an option. Who knows about 2004, though. I can't imagine them offering two different diesels indefinitely...

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Jul-02 AT 05:41 AM (EST)]I can't see the future any better than the next guy but here is the plan: We will build the last 7.3L Power Stroke on September 27, 2002. We will have enough 7.3's banked by then to keep Ford running through October and Ford will begin building the 6.0L Power Stroke equipped vehicles on November 4, 2002. (Barring any unforseen difficulties).
The existing 7.3 will continue to be built in Brazil for the Econoline vans for at least another year because the 6.0L won't fit in the van's engine bay. I don't know what Ford's plans are for their Mexican built trucks. They may continue to build those with South American made engines (they only tell me what they want me to know).

NEW 6.0 Powerstroke
> The "new powerstroke" is on the way, but guys remember
>this will be a first year out for this motor, let them get
>the bugs out, trust me on this
Well, I still have to turn in one of my trucks (the '00 F-150) this April when the lease runs out, that's why I'm thinking another lease on an '03 F-250 6.0 diesel instead of buying one around that time. Leasing take a lot of the risk out of getting a newly designed vehicle (SOMEONE has to get one!) If the truck has problems, they have to take care of it under warranty, if it turns out to be a real POS, Ford has to take it back and eat it after two or three years and I'm free of it to get a later model or something else. If it turns out to be a good truck delivering on all the promises, then I can keep it and buy it fully depreciated in '05 or '06. So we'll see. Until then, I still use my Old Reliable '96 F-250 460 for the heavy hauling, at 7 to 8 MPG at $1.45/gallon towing the 6-ton hay trailer, the gasoline bills are murder...!
