Quick Dumb Question

Hi guys-

Do the 6.0 engines employ a common rail injection system, or is it different?

Sorry, like I said, an uneducated question-

Some guys will chime in throughout the day with what the 6.0 system is, but what it isn't is common rail, the 6.4 though does use common rail

The 6.0L uses what is called HEUI injection. This stands for Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection. The injectors use oil that is pumped up from a High pressure oil pump and it is this hydraulic action that creates the 3100 psi injection for the fuel into the cylinder.
Just a brief description of what actually occurs.
