Cetane Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have also just heard that the 4.4L is a definite go now and will also be available in the Econoline along with the F150/250 and Expedition. This is an unsubstantiated rumor of course but it comes from a good source. Don't shoot me if I am wrong... just passing on what I hear. Sounds like someone got a late April Fools joke...........

jimmy57 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 In my just ended career (lay offs....) I saw a 6.7 mule at the AZ proving grounds several months back. It's not cool to snoop at an engineering center but I caught a funky front end SD with the hood up and walked slowly by and saw enough to know it was not anything sourced from IH. So they have been sorting these out for a while. Not enough of a look to see what serviceability it might have compared to the IH motors. I wanted to look under it to see if the transmission was different but I would have to fake a fainting to spell to have a good reason to be laying on the ground near one of those mules. Maybe my snooping got me laid off....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cetane Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Those are pressure transducers for us to use in conjunction with the production sensor package. They will not be there on the version you guys will have the pleasure of working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I keep seeing the year 2011 thrown around. I thought they were going to end the 6.4 in 2010. Does this mean Ford is going to skip the '10 year model like they did the '98 model Super duty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlep Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think it'll be more like when the 08's were introduced in Dec 06 - Jan 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 IIRC, according to law anything produced after January 1 can be titled for the following year. That's how they skipped 1998 F-350s, they built 1997s into late 1997 and '99's were released shortly after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamageINC Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That's right, I remember there was some question about the whole model year fiasco because Ford was already selling and advertising the all-new '97 F-150 during the Super Bowl in 1996, hehe.
