Gary_P Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My fixed operations manager just returned from his annual Powerstroke meeting. apparently the 650/750 has found a new home....in OHIO. retooling the Econoline plant and will be building F650/750's stateside. I think Ford told Blue diamond to fuck off, but I am unsure of the truth in that. Talk of a gasoline powerplant, a v8 diesel powerplant and of course, the Cummins engine. just thought I would throw that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanx Gary. Since my dealer will be a medium duty truck dealer again it is good to hear news about this going foward... though these are rumors for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabfoes87 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Let's hope that 2012 thing doesn't play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The Terrastar intro to compete with 450 and 550 cab n chassis I'm sure wasn't the kind of thing to mend the wounds between Fomoco and Navistar. The only engine offered in Terrastar is the 6.4/Maxxforce7. I see they changed the block to CGI and the text makes me think they have new injection system.

DieselD Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The E-series is also supposed to be canceled. Its replacement? a fullsize transit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Does that mean we are going to have to work on Mercedes now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
