PMRs are definately cheaper to make. Look at it from a bean counter's point of view. There were around a million 7.3 diesels made.
If Ford only saved $20 per engine (and they are saving more than that), then they just made a free $20 million. The bean counter's don't care how reliable it is - provided it lasts longer than the warranty or YOU can be blamed for the engine's demise.
It's only business.
Edit - sorry, mistype. :P

I think that Ford has maxed the design for the 7.3. If you look at some of the specs for the International T444e, it's redline is 2600 RPM.

I was suprised to see an Canoas engine plant sticker on DavidT's engine. I didn't know that any of our pickups got Brazilian engines.
