Intertrashional has never been able to design a good engine or vehicle, I'm honestly amazed they have stayed in buisness for so long.

The 6.0L powerjokes have been filled with problems from introduction; failing injectors, blown headgaskets, stuck turbo vanes and poor off the line performance are not a surprise to me.

The 7.3 was finally becoming a decent engine around 1999 (It took them a decade to figure out how to add a turbo and intercooler!), its too bad they abandoned it.

You wouldn't consider a DT466 a good engine? I agree that the powerstrokes are not really Cummins class, they certainly arent trash. Ford Powerstrokes have always outsold Dodge Cummins and Chevy Diesels. They didn't outsell by having junk engines.
