Just found out that Ford is going to build LCF commercial trucks with 4.5L V-6 PowerStroke.

Don't know if they are going to use it in 7700- lb. application.

A F-150/F-250(light) with 4.5L diesel should give better MPG than a F-150 (2003) with 4.2L gas.

How about this CAT-MaK VM43 V-18, 12,085 hp @ 512 rpm...the V-12 weighs 162 tons; don't know about the v-18

I've operated and maintained MaK 8 cylinder 2680 hp M32 engines...really a fine engine. (M32 has a 32 cm bore...VM43 has a 43 cm. bore.)
