The new twin turbo powerstroker is fit in the new Fords so tight that if and when you have major engine problems NOW you have to pull the cab off to work on the engine. FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA 111 JOB 1 Makes you want to go get one NOW>>>>>              

the way they've treated people with 6.0 probs who would want one anyway?  

[bold] :mad FIRE IN THE HOLE ...
ford has exhaust fires-the temps on the-
08-emission controls are too high-for-
off road use--have a o8 f-350-with 275gal-
diesel tank-in bed of truck to fuel timber
equipment- we went to fuel -5 miles off-
main road- parked-and started to fuel-
within 3-min flames on right side of truck
the truck was parked on pine straw--and-
the heat from-cat/particulate filter-
caused the fire--nothing was damaged-
except paint-The idiots that design the-
trucks-GM-FORD-DODGE-need to have a option
like emission delete-for farm/fire/forest-
ry, use-bet they did not think of this--
any suggestions to remove this ***
have a new GMC-will pick-up in july-need
info-on removing fire hazzard...my 05-06-
GMC-have not burned my farm up---and i
have many diesel trucks- my oldest-is a
1949-one ton dodge-4x4-cummins disel-yes-

I don't know if this is true but a buddy that works at Ford told me that the new 6.4s alternator cost $750(from Ford) and you have to pull the cab to get at it. He did say that the 08 cabs are eazier to pull.  

I know they left the 7.3 because they had to meet this emissions stuff, but they have had lots of problems since they quit usin that motor.  

haha i love my 7.3, it is easy to work on and is very reliable. i recently put in a crankcase vent kit, and it was very easy to do, i would not have even tried to do this on the 6.0...  

There are alot of vehicles now where it is just easier to pull the cab to get at the engine than to try and do it otherwise. And honestly, if that is how it is designed to work, its only six bolts and a couple wire harness plugs and its off, it's really only a big deal to the do-it-yourselfer who the OEM's are trying to discourage from working on their own vehicles anyway...  

I've talked to a few mechanics at ford dealers they say pulling the cab on the 08 is about a 1 hour job and then they can get to everything, they say they like it a lot.
