This is the one: 6.7 litre pure diesel power and joy. Build from scratch. Do I need it? By no means at all. It has improved fuel economy too and lots of power. Mike, Dirty Jobs, Rowe likes it too, and features in a nice
video. When you are from Europe, like me, it's hard to grasp these engines are quite common here. And, hey, I adapt quickly, have to. Even now this engine is completely redesigned, they say anyways, whilst hybrid and electrical engines are really on the agenda. Here in Alberta we will see these Diesel engines and big gas engines for a long time to come. Chevrolet already has a truck engine that shuts down 4 cylinders when cruising at a constant speed, so even with the truck manufacturers it is an issue. And these engines do have a very nice roar, and when you are a petrol-head you will like it. Period. Oh and by the way why buy a Porsche 911 or a Audi R8 when you do not have a circuit in your backyard. So why buy a F350 with an engine like the above? When you fire it up there is that dangerous rumble under the hood, a silent roar from it's Mandrel bent 4 inch exhaust pipes, those diesel fumes stink a little, it has so much power it shakes on all 4 20 inch BF Goodrich All Terrains, the twin-turbo's whistle, when warming up it starts to hiss somewhat. When you start driving and floor it a little all hell breaks loose, awesome. You will have a smile across your face from ear to ear and beyond. When you are truck-crazy, and I am :-) , you just need to own and drive one like that. Got it?
