And to think...we were one of, if not the first, Ford Dedicated site to open a 6.4 Forum. Sure had to fight off a bunch of naysayers...

I believe it is still the largest and longest running state fair in the country.
Sept. 29 thru Oct. 22 this year.

I will be there on Oct 2....our schools in the DFW area have a traditional day off (FAIR DAY) so that's when I always go.

I have been to that Fair a few times, Its huge. The OU vs Texas game is played right there as well. GM launched there last all new re-designed trucks there in 98 and they will be there launching there all new 2007 trucks at the Fair again this year as well, right along with the new 2008 SD's. I am betting its going to be one heck of truck show this year. I wonder if Dodge has anything up there sleves for the show.

According to people at Ford Marketing there will be 6 '08 SuperDuty's at the Texas State Fair for the official introduction of the "truck". This will include the 6.4. I do not know as of yet the vehicle configurations or how many will be 6.4's. As for the 6.4 its self, it was speculated that the official introduction of the "engine" would be sometime next week 8/28.
