wow, did it ever occur to you that the reason you see so many broken trucks is because ford sells so many trucks? Did it ever occur to you that you are only seeing a small percentage of the trucks that are on the road? Did it ever occur to you that the reason you only see broken trucks is because you took a job that requires you to fix broken trucks? Did it ever occur to you that you are complaining about the fact that you have to do the job that you are getting paid to do? What are you, about 22 years old? I've had two of them with no issues. Talk all you want about the product that you are paid to service. I'm sure you'll be doing the same thankless job for years to come with an attitude like that.

well explain this to me? why isnt the new engine built by Navistar?, why wasnt a new contract negotiated? Why is one of Fords newest slogans "if you want something done right, do it your self" surely if Ford can accept it others can as well, numbers do not lie. Will the 6.7 live up to the hype Ford is putting out? They seem to think so...only time will tell.

Why not wait and see what the 6.7L is gonna be like before bashing it as crap? Or is the 6.4L the greatest engine EVER just because YOU own one?
Do you really think that Navistar allowed Ford to take an "off the shelf" engine and modify it however they wanted with ZERO input from Navistar? You can't be that naive.

So first let me say, I know nothing - you guys have forgotten more about trucks than I will ever know. 
But, wheels spinning or not, stock or not, I'm pretty impressed to see that thing pulled by anything other than a tractor trailer with a flatbed!

As i said my brother is a diesel mechanic and he works on plenty of international engines in industrial size trucks, not on fords...he says he hates them that there all crap...not just the ones ford puts in their trucks...he works on them daily and he thinks THEY'RE JUNK. I agree with you and i hope the 6.7 is a good engine since Ford is puttin out so much hype about it but time will tell it might be junk as well.
I just don't think you can argue with a mechanic that works on these engines daily...imo.

I dont know much about internationals but theres a reason that you can buy one for 50% less than a mack or a pete or even a sterling in a big truck. everyone I know with an international has had problems with it.
