kenkillsr Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Does anyone know for sure which diesel engine [if any] will be available in 2008 E series vans? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yeah, that's easy. None from what I've been reading. Not for maybe 2 years. Sounds like Ford is waiting to put in their new Lion diesel instead of new Powerstroke. Kinda short sighted if you ask me. That's a lot of ambulance business...

ice-capades Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ford has notified Dealers that they have reached an agreement with the supplier to be able to offer the 6.0L Diesel in the 2008MY E-Series. This was just a preliminary announcement with the availability timetable to be announced once the details are worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely "Post Job #1" There maybe some issues with credit from ITEC being transfered to Ford to make this happen, but both companies realize it is in their own best interest.
