Thread: 07 superduty?

    there will not be a Cummins motor in the Ford Superduty for many years to come... Dodge still has the contract w/ Cummins until 2012. And Ford is locked in with Navistar/International. The 6.0 motor is an awesome workhorse, its the darn electrical (computer, wiring harnesses and sensors) that Ford designed is the problem. However, most of the issues have been resolved. Mine were. anyway....the new motor is going to be a 6.4 liter V-8. however its not a "twin-turbo"....read carefully!!!!
    a twin turbo setup is when there is one turbo for each bank of cylinders. meaning one turbo for 4 cylinders and another for the other 4. The turbos on a twin setup are mounted separately on opposite sides of the motor....
    the "DUAL-TURBO" set up is what Ford will be using on the new 6.4's. They are designed to be in-line. One smaller turbo will spool up first and being that it is smaller, will spool up faster and load the larger turbo (which takes longer to spool up) for faster accelleration, much less lag, and hopefully provide a better air/fuel mixture which will aid in the HP dept. as well as mileage (hopefully). All this and getting rid of the VVT (variable vein turbo).
    Back to the 6.0 vs. the 6.4
    It most likely be the same block, yet bored a bit and/or given a longer stroke, However, I believe that it will be only bored, due to the fact that the 6.0 was designed to operate at higher RPM's, if it will get stroked, most likely the powerband will be at a lower RPM.
    whewwww.

    Hey Royal I finally got mine fixed. They changed out the instrument cluster and no more heating up so far..I guess the big test will be on thurs when im heading out to the dez. The tech told me that the truck never overheated. just the gauge cluster was over sensitive. Hopefully it does the trick :220v:

    Great Info. !
    I have a 2006 6.0 with no problems so far. It has 10,000 miles on it and I have only towed my boat once. In my opinion this truck runs like a monkey with his nuts on fire.
