ford 6.0 ps mules

[ramman]

As many of you know I work at Ky truck plant and yes I drive my ole Thumper Ram most every day well back to the point. I was over at the prove out building today and a new 6. 0 ps 250 was being worked on. THE ENGINE seems to be a little louder than the 7. 3,engine compartment is FULL even though the it's 1. 3 liters smaller there are sheilds everywhere,it did sound good I guess if ta like the thrashing sound ,The workers that have driven it say it's sweet,hard to beleive you can take a square motor reduce it's cu/in and get more hp and torque. And the new stick shifts have a large inputshat and piolit bearing,new sheet metalwill not surface until 2007 we hear. As an employee that needs his ckeck I Hope and pray that It's a strong ,tough set up. I would love to drive one pulling there trailer load of rock with a blind up front to catch air. so I would like to see if it is built ford tough will hold and afterwards I'd asked to go get Thumper and hook to their traler and take them for a ride and ignore the black smoke. Sorry so long will update as things happen
