Factory Head Studs?

Ford is now installing their own head studs on 6.0's?

Is this a rumor or ?

That would be about the smartest thing they could do in my opinion.

Hey, Derrick. If it is true, it's about time. I'm looking at getting studs installed in the next couple of months.

It would be great if that were true... but I seriously doubt Ford would do that. The only exception I can think of would be if Ford and Navistar came to some agreement with replacing the TTY bolts with head studs while servicing 6.0's under warranty.
