2008 Ford Is Offering In There Diesel Line Of Trucks. You Can Get A Powerstroke, Cummins Or A Cat Engine In It.

 

You better stop drinking or smokin' whatever it is you're drinking or smokin' "man". It'll rot your brain.

 

Actually it's true. But you have to buy an F650 or F750 to get the Cummins or Cat engines.

 

Dont they already do that?

 

Only F650s and 750s.

 

Bury this thread! Misleading and pure stupidity :/

 

I agree, someone will read that nonsense and think it is gospel

 

What Is So Stupid About It Its True.

 

The thread title is misleading as its been that way for years.

 

No it is NOT entirely the truth.

Ford has offered the CAT and Cummins for a long time in CLASS 5-6 trucks. That is the F-650 and F-750 trucks. For that matter so does Chevy in the Kodiak and Topkick line (also Class 5-6 trucks). But to come on this site in the Ford diesel thread where we talk about about our F-250, 350, 450 and 550 trucks....where the CAT and Cummins are not offered from the factory. And state that it will be offered this year is obsurd!! The FTE web site home page has a "lastest news release" section and they do a great job of keeping up with the very latest info.

My OPINION is: You will never see a great variety of diesel options in the Super Duty line up. I think it would cost too much. There are diferences in each motor. ie. motor mounts, transmission bolt up, different number of return lines and size of return lines, weight differences in the engines might require different springs inth e front end. different weights mean different payload
And if the 6.4 is a $7000 option how much more would the CAT C-12 cost? Or an M-11 Cummins? And heres this, the towing capacity will NOT go up much further because of chassis, brake, wheel, tire limitations.

worst part is someone will read what you wrote and think they can go to the Ford dealer and order one......or worse they will go to work and tell thier buddies they are gonna order one because they read on this site that is is going to be availible or is availible.....won't they look silly.

 

yeh come on man, this was stupid to say. you need to get on here and retract your statement and be more clear.

 

Dont Get So Evil With Me. Thats Just What I Heard From A Ford Salesmen That Ford Was Going To Offer This So I Dont Know. Maybe They Will And You Will Look Silly.

 

your salesmans an idiot. and yes they already offer this in the 650's and 750's. theres no way they could offer them in the 250-550's. come on now. have you seen the size of those engines?

 

The Cummins Fits Right In The 1 Ton Dodge Truck.

 

Yes and Cummins has a contract with Dodge. There won't be any Cummins engines in Ford light duty trucks anytime soon.
