Red Hot Ford 650/750 Picture

[tgrfan2]

I always say when you want to really know what a manufacturer thinks of his product go to his web site. That is where I first found the Allison 1000 was torque limited years ago.

Today being a little bored, I went to the Ford and IH sites. I found a very interesting picture on the Ford 650/750 PDF. Under the title "Chow Tme for the Power Hungry" you will find the most beautiful hunk of metal ever dressed in red!

Where is the 6. 4? Maybe they are recycling those 6. 0s IH won't warranty:-laf

Then I went to the IH medium duty site and found a Ford automatic mated to an IH 4. 5 V6. No more 6. 0s there. They do still list the 365 in the MXT with an A2000 transmission. The thing looks like a WW2 vintage Dodge Army truck!

I don't know where you're going with this. Maybe this belongs in "thedieselstop".

Did you go to the Ford web site?

Where is the "Red Hot Ford" picture? Where are the links? What are you talking about?

I believe he is referring to this:

ps, you have to navigate through the most counterintuitive website in the world, and dispose of about 10 popup windows in order to find this, there ought to be an easier way, just like I'm sure there are better ways to drive a medium duty truck with a 5. 9 Cummins under the hood than to order one from F*rd, IMHO

I agree!! Now we know that the same nerd that designs Ford electronics does their web site too. A real multi tasker for sure. :-laf

There also are no 6. 7L Cummins... Maybe they are recycling the 5. 9's ? :-laf

I'll take a recycled 5. 9 anytime. Just not in a Ferd!:-laf Maybe when the supply of 6. 7s for emissions is satisfied Ford can use them to replace the Cat. The last I heard Cat was having trouble meeting emissions standards too. Cummins is the only one to meet 2010 regs so far I think.

Gee! I tell you where a treasure is and you want me to dig it up and wrap it for you too. As usual with Ferd it takes a while to wade through the BS to get to the truth. :-laf
