gosh, when you tell people you got a 6.2 diesel in your truck, they will think of the junk 6.2 chevy and not like it so much. i hope they go back to injection pumps and one wire hookups like the old 6.9's and 7.3's

The company I work for just turned down a project to build a machine that would make fuel lines for a new International diesel. According to our customer, the end user was Ford, and the line sets were for the Powerstroke style injection (HEUI ??) There were a left, a right, and 8 injector lines. Too big a project and too short a timeline for our company. The production lines would be built starting spring of 2006, for a model year 2007 vehicle. Anybody else have any info on this kind of thing?

Sounds more like Ford is building a slightly bigger version of the IHC themselves, instead of having IHC supply the blocks - IHC is supplying the specs, Ford is putting bigger pistons in it and casting it themselves, they save money. Also, sounds like there's going to be a new heavy-duty gas motor for the big trucks... (and gas doesn't always mean gasoline either, propane/natural-gas, hence the reason for a "gas" heavy-duty truck motor).
I could be dreaming though ...

The 6.2 gasser has already been announced by Ford. A bored out 5.4. It will be called the "Hurricane".
Old news.
Lots of rumors about the diesel. No facts. Just rumors. The rumors are that the diesel is meant to go into the F-150, not the SD. The SD will get a 6.4 made by IH.
