A friend of mine just bought a new 450. He hooked up to his trailer last week and walked around the front of his truck to see oil pouring from the engine. Massive external oil leak and has water in the oil. Ford says the fix is a new engine. Hard to make money while it's in the shop.



He's talked about buying a Dodge, but when he put the money down he was die hard blue oval. Maybe he will rethink that now.

Given fords history with the 6. 0 one would have to be a fool to be the test guinea pig for a new ford engine.

That would be a 6. 0L, not the 1/1/07 6. 4L engine, right?
