I know what you mean.

 

Here is a PIC of the new trucks.

 

it looks like some type of emblem next to the head lamp.

 

i am liking that front grill look, i just got an 04' and might want to change the front to the 05'.

 

Could that be the V10 emblem? Does the DRW come with a V10?

 

Look at pictures on home page, from Ken's article about 05.

 

the pic I have could be a v10 , that's y no bage on the door.

 

When Ford does a brochure for the Super Duty they always use the PSD version. Very few pictures, if any, are gassers. If the badge isn't on the door, I suspect they moved it to the front fender.

 

The emblem you see on the fender behind the headlight is a Triton V10 emblem... That's a good thing...there is still hope that the Diesel emblem is on the door where it belongs!

there's a good pic of it there

 

You're right upon closer inspection, that is indeed a Triton V10 badge. I myself have been curious about that for the longest time.


It is true that very few of them are gassers. But IMO 2004 was not a good year for the V10. The V10s outnumbered 5.4 V8s in 2000, 2001, 2002, and even the early part of 2003. But now the tables have turned and the V10 isn't selling well or at all in some cases. So I guess that with more power and what I'm assuming is the promise of slightly better mileage; Ford is trying to sell the V10 to more people and get sales back up.

 

I checked with the parts department at the dealer and they list a door emblem for the PSD on the 2005 SD.

 

Guys go to FTE home page, click on picture of black F-250 . The next screen will have yellow truck on it, click on the thumbnail and you can see badge is same as 04.

 

Thx sonic blues. I'm just wondering if it is the same exact badge as the 04. You can't really tell from the picture.

 

The 05 diesel door badge is different. Here is a picture of it. It is a little fuzzy because I cropped one of the Ford images so it shows just the badge.

Thanks MaXRSmart I figured they would be coming out with a new badge for the new truck. Appreciate the pictures.
