cummins contract is for the 5.9 ,and ford perfers the v8,that is why they are designing a new engine,the 7.3 is a good engine the 6.0 is a problem, my opinion based on owning both. my 7.3s great engines no problems 6.0 nothing but problems,even the navistar people will tell you it is unlikley for a 6.0 to make it too 300k under fords programing the engine was never designed to run that high of rpms

A 7.3, Duramax, or Cummins (with stock internals) would have a similar effect to a medium or large sized hydrogen bomb at that RPM level
Personally, I couldn't give a (insert word(s) of choice here) less about reaching 300k miles. If this engine makes it 50k, I will be quite satisfied.

Well , since I run 4,000 miles a week , most of it towing something ... I sure better get more than 50,000 miles ! I think 250,000 is the engineering limit before major rebuild ?????
I do hope the 6.4 is a lower rpm range puller though ....

I have version 5.00
I bought it used and i wont pay the money to get it updated. I believe they have very different shift patterns, getting on it very hard it runs to about 4500, and will do that if i spin the tires from a stop also, wont shift till about 4500.

i think that the rumor runnin around about teh cummins started back when ford and navixtar were talking about building a V6 diesel for the F150 and could not come to a agreement and trashed the project, then all the probs with the 6.0 when it came out. also there has been rumors about dodge using a benz diesel in their trucks, that hightened the cummins rumor for ford even more. now ford has, i believe its a 4.5L V6 diesel in a truck they are using right now, i dont know what company designed the motor but i seen an article of it in truckin magazine. i also heard a rumor that in 2007 that the V6 diesel will be available in the F150 and the PSD will go to 6.4L. also sometime ther is going to be a 6.8L gas V8 available for the F150 and prolly the super duty.

Guys, Cmon...
The 6oh should have a life of 250k and beyond, right?
Why would we spend the extra money for a motor that would not even last as long as a gasser?
Can someone with high mileage on their 6oh please chime in here?
