The electrically heated lines and coolant heated tank are thermostatically controlled. Neither will come on above 30 F. The line heaters will only energize after engine start and should not drain the batteries. The EPA has given OEMs 30 minutes to start injecting DEF after engine start. A frozen system will thaw in this time.

 

that was a good slide show!! i'm really happy to see the "cab on servicability" and decreased time to change turbo, fuel system, and egr cooler. if any of y'all have been in on pulling the 6.4L turbos then y'all like that too!! haha. i have watched my buddy that is a diesel mechanic at ford do turbos and everything and WOW. those things are IN THERE!!! i will never own a 6.4, but if these 6.7's are simple enough for someone like me to work on without pulling the cab off then i might actually consider it in several years down the road. it does look very very cramped though. i also like the 6 head bolts per cylinder, but i'm not sure i like the aluminum heads and this graphite iron block.. is that block really supposed to be stronger?!?!?! i'm thinking aftermarket performance is why i'm thinking about the block being strong. if its going to crack the block then i won't consider it. if i was to get one i just know i would end up doing stuff to it b/c you know the aftermarket is going to jump on this engine like they did the 6.4's. i'm not sure about all this DEF injection and all the catalysts and the DPF in the exhaust, but i'm sure the aftermarket will find ways around that!! LoL

 

So I guess this engine will have an injection pump? Did the 6.4?

 

I will purchase a 1 ton truck duelly diesel to upgrade from my 99 F-250 next year, but I ain't paying 50 grand for one.

 

This truck is coming out at a time that I will be buying my dream truck. But like all new releases, it scares me. I may be forced to wait another year, or buy a used truck until the bugs get worked out on the new motor.

I have been to the track at Yucca Az and observed the testing that Ford does on these rigs and it's pretty impressive. I want to trust that the motor is ready for release, but it always seems that no matter how hard a company tries, they can't catch all of the bad manufacturing from vendors.

What to do, what to do?

 

I really want one, wish i had the money, looks like they really tested and beat up on these new 6.7, one of my friends has an 08 6.4, at 2000 miles the whole engine had to be taken out due to oil leak, already new turbos, and 3 radiators, i'm glad ford got smart and is stopping the production of the 6.4, big piece of scrap metal if you ask me.

 

3 radiators? That does it in my book, the 6.4 is junk.

 

I don't believe the 6.4 is anywhere near as bad as the some of the 6.0's, but it wasn't any home run. I think this new engine will be just what Ford needs to put themselves back in the ball game. I can't wait to see what they can do with the exhaust mess removed with a tuner, intake, and exhaust.

 

From what I can tell on the new engine, it does not have an Intercooler. Just think how hot the top of the engine will get with the up pipes and manifolds on top. At least the up pipes will be bellowed.

 

this is a little off the topic, but how many 6.0 have had new turbos, 3 radiators, and the whole engine removed due to a massive oil leak, my friends 6.4 had all this done with less than 30,000 miles, it's spent more time at the shop than in his garage

 

any ideas what the Hp and torque ratings are?

 

Only rumors at this point but they are saying 390-400 HP and 720+ TQ.

 

A Great presentation, thanks.

 

So- Ford's engineers have to read slides to introduce the new motor... VERY impressive Ford. Makes me think you guys understand little about your product...

And for the record, GM and BMW already produce an inboard exhaust motor- these guys make it seem like Ford came up with the idea... And that new injection system? Yeah, GM and Dodge already run Bosch common rail...

The whole expierence makes me really look forward to a Cummins truck when the International motor is no longer available.

Because of Dodge & it's new HD Series! Even GM has a new HD Series comming very soon! In this Business, "You Snooze, You Loose!"......
