Ford owns the Power Stroke brand name out right. International has no rights to the name. Scorpion is currently the project name and I suppose it will stay that way. I expect that Ford will use the Power Stroke name in 2010.

Here is a drawing of the Scorpion 6.7L. This should help you guys get a feel for the new intake / exhaust design.

If you are at a Ford dealer, you can go on dealer E-store and order the DVD. Type in diesel in the search box and everything related to PSD available will pop up. It may also be available on http://www.powerstrokediesel.com. Click on business connections, enter your FMC Dealer login....check out the links up top for it in a .wmv format.

Brand A is a Wix. Brand B is a Puralator. They were chosen because of the brand for A and type (lid) of filter on B. Since then Wix has changed their filter and added a cap to it. No difference but a built in cap.

Talk to your local Blue Diamond guy. He can probably help you.

You can flush an oil cooler till you think it is clean, regardless of the chemical and you can cut the ends off and try to physically clean it, but you can never get one completely clean. It will always have trash in it. In fact most engine rebuilds fail prematurely b/c of the old oil cooler. Thats the reason it is included in Ford's overhaul kits for ID and DIT engines.

There is one....but it is major league huge....like around 70MB.

Larry, Not to mention the AM kits don't even come with the gerotor oil pump or the oil cooler. Still cheaper.

Any dealer can sell them....there is no requirement to be a heavy duty dealer or to have any certain certification.

Don't get me pinned down on the details, but if a part (i.e) engine is sold over the counter, not only can the customer get paid for parts and labor performing the repair, but a shop can too. Many customers purchase parts, put them on their selves to save money and then when it fails bring it back into the shop for any warranty repairs.

Think.....70+ mph on the highway...bearing fails do to contamination and melts....pulley comes right off the bearing that is still bolted to the bracket....driver scratches head....either keeps driving till they notice an overheat situation or pulls over about a half a mile later.....now where exactly did that pulley come off and how far did it sling into the grass? Plus they need to be towed in or perform a road side repair. I assume the pulley comes with the bearing. So why look for it. The 444E is notorious for this.

I have a question. In order for the entire claim to get paid, you must bill out the Ford part number for head bolts on the RO. Is that not fudging the RO and just asking for trouble since you didn't use them? Besides being unethical. It may seem small, but if Ford wants to rock your dealers world, they will not only charge you back for that repair order but all ROs of the like. Example, your dealer doesn't use Motorcraft oil in bulk, but you carry it in bottle quantities.....You bill out 120 gallons of oil in 4 months, but only bought 100 gallons in that period....They will audit you and if they find you guilty, charge your dealer back for all the labor and parts for every warranty RO you billed oil on. They have the right and I have seen the do it a couple of times in the past along with one right now with a dealer across town.

If it has a spacer some one has burned the bearings up in it before and replaced the "two" original ones with one bearing and a spacer. People do it all the time on Internationals. By the way, they end up right back where they started shortly after. In the bay.

Quote: local Ford troubleshooter and ‘diesel expert’. Were these people from the dealership or Ford? I would say the story is far fetched.

If I am reading this sheet correctly, he got the following at least once on there. 18.3 19.5 18 21 19 He was definetly doing something right to get these numbers. Fuel quality (cetane) could be it, or no trailer etc. I will also assume that this is a hot shot of some sort? Hooked to a trailer most of its life. I did the avg from the numbers to the left. 9.56mpg. He only had a number stated on his log book that went into the single digits once. Something isn't right in his log book.
