The 8.3 L Cat will not fit in the Ford F-series. It will never happen, not to mention that I doubt CAT even has the capacity to do light duty trucks, medium, heavy and their own equipment

This is beyond stupid. Whoever started this ...seriously do you think that ford would go out and contract 2 of their biggest diesel engine competitors when they are having HUGE bankruptcy issues and cant even get along with navistar international? Lets not just post things we hear our salesman say.

It always amazes why people think Cummins is the best. Maybe its an inline 6 I dont know. But when Ford came out with there powerstroke 7.3 in 94 it revolutionized the V-8 diesel motor in pickup applications. Before that an inline diesel motor was superior to a V-8 but direct injection{powerstroke] changed all that big time. The GM 6.5. Fords 7.3 IDI an GMs attempts at early diesel cars an trucks 6.2 an other failed miserably compared to the gas engines available at the time. The one thing thats fact though is all these engines have to meet EPAs new emmisssions which are pretty strict on all these engines. Heres another thing for you Ford history buffs. 6 cyliner gas motors for cars an trucks was the only thing you wanted back in the 30s an 40s. Henry Ford hated 6 cylinder motors to power motors. He firmly believed that a V-8 cast in one block was the answer. It cost Ford tons off money to develop a mass produced V-8 motor but Henry was persisitent an thus the flathead V-8 was developed for Ford cars an trucks. The first successful V-8 in any vehicles. So Fords V-8 an 7.3 powerstroke were two off the biggest innovations in automotive history. Sorry for the history lesson just some thoughts there.
