Anyone know a manufacturer of a universal screw on hood scoop?
It is still too early to tell you how reliable the new 6.4L diesel will be on the '08 Super Duty F-series trucks. Yes the rumours you are hearing about the need to remove the cab from the frame of the truck to service is true unfortunately. What I CAN tell you is, it is MUCH smoother and quieter than the 7.3L (assuming you are referring to a '95 to '03 7.3L DIT). This is to be expected of course. However, it is also MUCH more complex, and therefore MUCH more expensive should the need for repair arise. If you are in the market for a truck, you are better off buying a good used 2002 or 2003 model year truck for now, until the bugs are worked out of this new model, which is to be expected of ANY newly released product. Just for your information, Navistar has ALWAYS been the manufacturer and supplier of the diesel engines for Ford's light duty trucks, since it's introduction to the market in 1983.Where are the Audi's A4's,5ths and 6's series for the Europeen market manufactured?
7.3The 6.4 has dual turbos in series,one helping the other,as far as better than a 7.3 it remains to be seen.
I would hope the 6.4L is better. With all the trouble that Ford is having, I don't think they need that kind of publicity. I did hear from a friend that work exclusively on International/ Navistar engines, he said that any major work in reguards to the engine (i.e. overhauls, head work, ect) would require the removal of the cab. If that is true, then it better be reliable.
My 03 Honda Accord cd player is giving a error when trying to read cd's.?
It's supposed to be more powerful and cleaner but will cost more to maintain just in the fact that new emissions laws are in effect in the US. (and yes it's true about the cab... All Ford did was legitamize something Ford dealers were doing for years already with the 6.0 to gain access to the motor.. the 6.4 is even tighter and this is the only way to do it now)The 7.3 had many years to have all the bugs worked out of it with the 2003 models being about the best you were gonna find (when they were stopped mid year to build the 6.0) so yes the 7.3 can take more crap... but the older 7.3's took more
What starter fits a chevy caviler 99 that i can find in a junk yard?
There are actually 3 versions of the 7.3
the IDI (indirect injection) no turbo (89?-93)
The IDI with turbo (93-94.5)
The power stroke with turbo (94.5-03)
But the jury is still out on the 6.4 mainly due to it being new and Ford/International is still trying to work out the bugs that have cropped up (including the recall to deal with flaming of the exhaust)
Where is the transmission filter and the plug to drain the fluid on a 1990 Acura Legend?
Although horsepower and torque are higher for this engineit is essentially an emissions engine intended to meet much
stricter federal regulations. The dual turbos did get rid of any lag in acceleration, and they go like hell, but mpg took a hit
for the sake of clean air. The truck itself is a hands down winner. If you looking to buy one I work on them ( engineering) send me a line.
How much horse power will a cold air intake add to a 3.5 v dodge magnum. its 250 hp stock?
Its too early to tell at this point. A negative is there is a problem with fords programing that is telling the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to regenerate while the vehicle is off, resulting in a two foot flame out of the exhaust pipe. The 94.5-03 7.3l is very reliable and takes a lot of abuse. The 6.4 arcitecture is very similar to the 6.0l. Believe it or not in 2002 I took a factory tour of the DT466 plant in chicago and had saw the 6.4l in the engineering test area, apparently they have been experimenting for quite some time. I also noticed a 6.0/6.4L bi-turbo engine on the prototype dyno. Interesting stuff.Name three individuals famous for automobile design?
Ford's dumb fix or repair daily - found on road dead get a Chevy not a Pu**y truck!!Were is the cd changer in a toyota privia estamina?
the 6.4 is a twin turbo cleaner burning diesel engine but I will wait for awhile to see about realiability. the 6.0 was NOT A FORD MOTOR it was built by NAVISTAR/INTERNATIONALMore Questions & Answers ...
