re: Ford 6.7- A story for you all, Chad and Downshift, esp.

And Corvettes.

It's a Ford, what did you expect?


J/K

Leaks, rust, poor resale...


Not a total engine failure.

No sat radio.
No 800 ft/lbs of torque.
No 4WD.
No cooled seats.


My life is pretty hard right now...

Naw, but I had the 2017 brochure in my hand when they came to get me.

The 2017 has LED lights, led bed lights, 7 cameras, and trailer tire pressure monitoring.


Sweet rig.



Assuming it won't blow up.

Ford guys could know good and well it'll blow up and will buy it anyway.

"It's a good engine once you put $12,000 into it"

Delete/tune on anything built after 2013 is a bad idea. The after treatment and engine control systems work very well now.

Leave the shite like the people at the factory designed it to be.

I THINK that's when they were all at the final emissions requirements. All of the TEPM stuff should have been used up by then and they all should be running the full finalized shite. Everything between pre-emissions and now was temporary.

Read below if interested in how this works (roughly)

The EPA diesel emissions rules were implemented a good while back and were set up in stages. They couldn't just tell the industry that overnight they had to figure out how to meet the ultra strict standards we have now. Initially there were no rules and engines could puke out anything. EPA said frick that, we need clean engines. They laid out what the final emissions levels needed to be and what year they had to be met by, and set up several intermediate stages to give the industry time to develop but force them to continually improve up to the ultimate goal a few years at a time.

In a nut shell, the reason post-mechanical but pre-urea engines were problematic is because they were temporary production engines. Ford knew the 6.0 and 6.4 weren't going to be around long. The 6.7 is designed to be around for a long time.

What's out now is tech that's going to be around for a pretty long time and possibly forever.
