I read a lot of auto industry magazines, and know some people at Navistar, and no one has heard anything about this new Ford Diesel..............I think you are right, it was started here and there is nothing to the story.......Why should they???? This thing is doing so well, and is one hell of a truck!!!!!!!!
I hear a lot of stories about the gas mileage, but when towing my TT, I just feel so much safer and in total control. So I don't mind spending the extra $100.00 per trip for the safety and power features alone.

Have many of you put an exust on their 2008 6.4? Is it hard and does it void any warranty? If so who exust do you suggest? Thanks

Ford is currently/has been working on project "Scorpion". "Scorpion" is a in-house replacement 6.7L V8 CGI diesel slated for the 2010 SD's. Early dyno reports were showing 400 HP @ 3500 RPM and 700 FT LBS @ 1600 RPM.
This engine is also planned to get the new 6R140 6-speed auto trans.
If Ford can not make 2010 with this engine and continues to use the 6.4L it is expected that the diesel SD's will have a urea tank that needs filling for the 6.4L to meet 2010 emissions. Ford wanted to explore other options to meet 2010 emissions with the 6.4L early on and Navistar has been set on using a urea system.

SCR uses a reductant (ammonia or urea), which is injected into the exhaust gas to help reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) over a catalyst. Some systems also use a particulate trap to further reduce emissions. Unlike some other emissions control equipment, fitting SCR should not result in any increase in fuel consumption and by allowing the engine to be tuned for maximum economy can actually decrease fuel consumption.
Ongoing maintenance costs will involve regular replacement of the reductant, either ammonia or urea. Replacement of the ammonia gas cylinder or replenishment of the liquid ammonia/urea tank will only be required around every 9 -10,000 miles for a taxi, but will be much more frequent for a heavy vehicle. As to the choice of using urea or ammonia, it is likely that urea will be more commonly used by manufacturers as it has much lower health risks.
Clean Diesel Technologies' patented ARIS™ 2000 NOx reduction system is a low-cost urea injection system, which reduces NOx to elemental nitrogen and water vapour. At typical exhaust temperatures of 320-500°C NOx reduction is between 70% and 90%.
