6.0 Diesel Engine

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-Nov-02 AT 08:17 PM (EST)]Was told today by the local dealer that this engine still has problems and is on "hold" for now. Has anyone out there got anymore info on this??

Thanks

We just received confirmation late this afternoon that the "hold" has been removed from this engine; the first truck that I ordered for a customer with this engine will be built the week of 12/16/02. The customer ordered it 09/30/02.

Our First 6.0 litre is expected at our dealership first week of December so I don't think there is any hold on them.

Just because the "hold" on the new 6.0L engine has been removed doesn't necessarily mean the the injector problem has been solved (maybe it has and maybe it hasn't). Navistar is under the gun to finally get off their collective asses and get some engines produced so that trucks can be built. I can't prove it but I am sure that we'd already have this problem solved if the morons who run this place hadn't been hammering the engineers to save a few pennies on each injector.
The good news is we have the best engineers that money can buy -- if they can't fix it, it ain't broke!! The problem WILL be solved (if it hasn't already been).
