Even though GM’s innovative 4.5-liter V-8 Duramax cheerful-allegiance diesel is indefinitely shelved, some of the same enlightened thoughts still unexploded on in Ford ’s upcoming plump-task oil burner, customs-named “Scorpion.” The all new, Ford intended ‘Scorpion’ 6.7-liter V8 diesel apparatus will return the going round Navistar supplied 6.4-liter V8 Power Move by 2011.

Our spies have once again caught Ford’s new in-quarter-meant 6.7-liter V-8 diesel under the hood of a Wonderful Obligation exemplar. An nearer see in the mind's eye showed mostly radiator, but this newest photo shows the strongly technical air intake, dissipate gas recirculation and expensive packaging needed to reinforcement this technically suave and authoritatively intense dust diesel.

Sedulousness sources say the Scorpion has the same unconventional reversed course intake and fatigue snare that was a seal of the GM 4.5-liter V-8. Airflow through the stagger heads is reversed (affiliated to agreed diesel-motor map), with the evacuate exiting instantly into dual cyclic turbos sitting in the locomotive’s valley. The Scorpion will also use lighter aluminum stagger heads, abandoning the throw away-iron heads found in today’s 6.4-liter V-8 Power Touch.

The latest power targets are said to be more than 390 horsepower and 720 pounds-feet of torque. Today’s Power Thump diesel is rated at 350 hp and 650 pounds-feet.

Scorpion nourish restraint is expected to set right by 3 mpg or more compared to the prevalent Power Throb. Help the Scorpion’s mileage will be a new six-go like a bat out of hell mechanical transport, like that found on the 2009 Ford F-150.

The Scorpion will use urea (aka diesel debilitate mobile) discriminating catalytic reduction to gratify the EPA’s unsympathetic new 2010 nitrogen oxide consume standards. NOx is a significant air pollutant that contributes to smog, asthma, and respiratory and concern diseases. It’s a byproduct of diesel’s altered consciousness combustion temperatures. SCR requires occasional prolongation on the part of the driver.

What kind of car stereo should I buy for a 2001 Ford F-150 extended cab?

I want the "perfect" stereo. Double din would be nice and maybe something with a small LCD screen mounted in the faceplate for watching DVDs? Good sound, RCA outputs, cool looking and not OMG expensive. Is it possible?

Seeing as your factory radio is only din and a half, if you are looking to install double din, the installation costs alone will be OMG expensive (due to the customization involved).

To get some realistic pricing and choices, check the link below and browse around - just stay away from a brand called 'Dual' - cheap product that only lasts a couple of months before needing service.

Is a 1996 Ford f-150 a good first car?

I live in the mtns, so I need a 4x4

I have a 1995 F-150. I love the truck, but there are a few things you should know about them. 1) The gas mileage sucks. Mine has the 5.8 and i get about 10-12 in town and about 15-16 on the freeway. 2) For the big V8, you will be a little disappointed in the power output: 5.0 is 205 and the 5.8 is 210. The 5.8 is much stronger, but won't even come close to touching a vortec chevy5.7, or magnum dodge 5.9. 3) They are not really pretty. They are big and square. They can be blown all over the road because they are so square.

That being said, if you are willing to take the trade offs I would highly recommend this truck. Mine has over 170,000 miles on it, and still runs strong. Has a couple of problems, however I haul a small slide in camper on it and pull a 14' boat with no problems.
