Re: [A/S] Ford Report



Hunter, I learned something about the Powerstroke yesterday.  Gave me 
a whole new appreciation for these good engines.  I never realized 
that International (or Navistar) puts this same engine in those 
monster dump trucks, bottling trucks, and what have you.  Next time 
you see one of those behemoths, look on the badging and if it 
has "V8", it's probably the same engine you have in Bruiser!  No 
wonder these pick-ups are such great pullers for RV enthusiasts!  I 
have an older Ford diesel van, and I've found I like the guys at the 
International dealership far better than the local Ford dealership.  
I come out of International with far less in bills.  My vehicle's 
been out of warranty for years, and International builds these 
engines, not Ford, so I have a choice of where to go for service.
