It's like Patrick Swayze said in Black Dog the movie. "Ain't nothin like a caterpillar engine" -Mike-

I wouldn't mind seeing the 7.3 make a comeback. One heck of an engine. Out of the 3, caterpillar.

I doubt Ford would change from there own Powerstroke to a Cummins or what ever. If it happened I'd vote for Cummins.

Cummins... no contest. Certainly not PowerJoke.

What with Navistar SUING Ford, you may see a non-navistar diesel under the hood sooner than you think.
I voted fo CAT, but Ford owns part of Cummins....

My dad works for International. He was talking about the whole suing thing the other day. He said he heard Ford is trying to build there own Diesel already.

Yeah, they are going to use the 3.6L V8 Rover Diesel and increase it to 4.4L.
I think it has something to do with International developing the motor for Ford and then changing their mind, but I never heard if International ever built one.

Actually I think that I'd like to seethem try a Yanmar. VERY economical to run, tough, and last for what seems to be forever.

I would rather see them with the Cat out of the 3 listed. It is possible that they could be working on a big diesel already like they are the 4.4L. Ford has been having their issues with the powerstrokes ever since they stopped building the 7.3L. Why not reintroduce the 7.3L and build it better.

im really hoping to see a cat in the SD. my dad owns three semi trucks, one with a CAT, another one with a detroit, and the third one had a cummins, that engine messed up, so we replaced that one with a CAT. CAT's are very good engines.

Arny07 · Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:03 am Post subject: what kind of diesel engine.

I would like to see ford use a volvo dieses engine, they already own volvo's light vehicle division. plus volvo is the #1 diesel engine manufacturer in the world.
