thats funny.....because what i call the 6.0 and 6.4 im now allowed to say in here lol. i may get flamed out of this forum for saying this, but its my opinion.......when ford had to switch to the smaller engine in order to meet emissions requirements i think they should have just made the 6.0 an inline 6. cummins had already met the 2011 emissions requirements back somewhere around 04 or 05 and there was no reason why international couldnt have done the same thing. the 6.0 couldnt even meet the 2008 requirements and brought about the 6.4. too many engine changes and too many reliability issues and ford will lose the top truck spot to dodge before too long.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

I will keep my 7.3 as long as I can. I hope the 6.7 will be a different story.

ive always thought that 12 valve cummins sound just like their big brothers [semis] and that powerstrokes sound like helicopters and the old chevy 6.2 straight piped sounds like a big block chevy gasser

Nuthin sounds like a string of SD45 locomotives. They were V20 two strokes. 20 bangs out the exhaust every rotation of the shaft.
Now they mostly run GEs around here. 4 stroke V16s. Just not the same sound. When I hear one of the old SD45s that occasionally goes by I sure notice the sound.

Don't you mean the 6.0 and 6.4 are our step SISTERS!! Sissy little engines! Seem to be always crying like a girl. The gold coolant just keeps weeping out.
