It's basically an electronic brochure showing how much cleaner burning and more powerful the new engine is. If you want to see the graphics and have dial up, click on it and go to bed. You'll have it in the morning.

 

I have to admit that it is all pretty cool... Except for page 11. Did see that mess of plumbing? 10,000 mile oil changes are nice and all (Low sulfur diesel?) but can you imagine actually working on that engine?

I'm already living that sort of thing with the VW's You have to remove the entire front end just to gain access to the engine. Fortunatly they design it so it's a quick, easy job and it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. In many ways it makes it easier than working on the older stuff because you can just step up to the front of the engine and work on it like it's on an engine stand.

 

Looking at the contents (file, properties) of the doc, you can find this:

author: kmeier@ford.com
email subject: 2007 6.4L Diesel Engine Presentation
author email: Meier, Kenneth (K.W.)

and under the doc summary:

author: Bryan Snyder
Company: International
Comments: Delivering Beyond the Emissions

Dunno if this was intended for public consumption, but just a reminder, a good thing to remember next time you write an office doc is this information is imbeded in all office docs unless you convert it to a pdf or take necessary precautions. FYI here's how you can do it:

In Word XP and Word 2003, you can set the Remove Personal Information check
box in an open document.
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Security tab.
2.. Select the Remove personal information from file properties on save
check box.
3.. Save the document.
When you save this document, the following properties are removed from the
document:
* File Properties - Author, Manager, Company, Last saved by
* Names, dates, and times associated with comments and tracked changes
(revisions)
* Routing slips and the e-mail header created by the [e-mail] button
* Versions - the last saved by name is set to "Author"

 

My comp won't open the file. I'm ticked off now, I'm very interested in it.

 

Doing some research into the legitimacy of this Presentation, I found that the original create date was February 11, 2004 @ 2:16 PM. This info is imbedded in the file. So what does this mean???? Probably Nothing...just figured I would make you think...

 

I've converted the slides to JPG if you are interested. PM me with email address and I will send you a self extracting file. 1MB in size.

 

If it doesn't get better mpg than my 05, I will keep it. Why should I consider an upgrade?

 

You have mail Kwik

 

I would think that with the multi spurt injector capability and the dual turbo, the fuel mileage can only increase. An acquaintance I know put a dual turbo kit on his cummins and pulled 16,000 lb trailer to Montana from Pa and claimed that he didnt' have to shift out of overdrive And got about 15 mpg to boot.

I liked the quote that said... "in some cities, the air going out of the tailpipe will be cleaner than the air entering the engine".

If you can't see the power point, you might have to change your setting to allow popups.

I just saw it thanks to Kwik. I wonder what the fuel mileage will be rated at...I've been overlooking that ever since I found out the output on it. I'm thinking we might see a slight increase...but nothing drastic.

 

i think it is safe to say with the signiicant decrease in emissions including the particulate matter, we may be happy just to say we have the same or slightly better power and the same or slightly better mileage. at least it wont be going backwards.

 

Sounds more like they need a power point viewer, not a pop up issue.
You can download one at Microsoft.com

 

well that was quite informational, I wonder where that came from!!!!!! I really dont agree with the service intervals with oil changes, but if the engine runs that clean great. I know that my 99 f-350 running plus-50 John deere 15w-40 oil is still clean at 5000 mile mark & I can still read the dipstick. Thats with 165,000 miles! Sounds like a good engine hope its not another blunder like the first 6.0. Cant wait to test drive

 

too bad we gotta have the ghey low bumpers, or i would be in line already...
