Popular Post Red Horse Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 With the opening of the Work Truck Show today, Ford finally announces some good news with respect to 650/750. The 7.3 V-8 should be a big seller for class 6 and 7 operators who need the GVW and reasonable power but don't run the miles to justify the diesel premium https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2020/03/03/ford-marks-35-years-of-commercial-vehicle-leadership.html 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61248-ford-mediums/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 That should boost sales big time. Every school bus and ambulance in my area has switched back to gasoline engines. The Powerstroke motor in my F550 is fully rebuilt and studded and "bulletproofed" but if I ever had to replace that truck it would be with a gasser.

Rob Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Most around here when getting new equipment are LPG powered. Especially the school buses. Diesel power is proving far too expensive for already cash strapped school districts to bear.

Bullheaded Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 6.0 My second 2007. After my first one I swore NEVER AGAIN! But here we go again. But this one I am keeping at STOCK power tune. But it has brand new heads, studded, new turbo and injectors, blue spring kit, upgraded HPOP, and the heavy duty Bulletproof brand oil and EGR coolers. So we'll see how long it lasts this time. Edit: It's also a motor out of a pickup, not the chassis cab version which I know in certain years used different turbos or something? Not sure about back in 07 though.

RoadwayR Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Want to have some fun? Try replacing the wet/secondary air tank on one of those F-series trucks that has a body that prevents you from sliding the tank out to the rear from under the cab. Good job on the chassis wiring and air line routing guys!
