power stroke most durable diesel engine?
If any of you have read the thread on the new 2005 F-superduty you may have noticed that it says it has the most durable diesel engine. Will some one please tell me how exactly they can claim that? From what I've read and heard it should say least durable.

I don't know, I would say it is right now, I am not seeing many problems with 6.0s built after November of last year. I still don't know how they got `most durable`, though. Not knocking Ford, but how do they figure that?

They are probably basing it on the Power Stroke name, not just he 6.0 but also the 7.3

Maybe thats because you have an old one. First year products need time, and you have a first year product.
Of course if it's like those old GM 700R4's, the one in Granddaddy's truck has gone through 4 of them, and when that truck was new the 700R4 design was already 5 years old, you'd a thought they would have got it right in the first 2 years. By the way, tranny #5 is on the way, the TC is almost gone--AGAIN.
