Jim Warman Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 A recall on 7.3 head gaskets? They want us to install ones that fail or what? The very , very few times I've ever had a head off a 7.3 - it has never been because a head gasket failed. The best engine Ford ever made? This is going to take some thought.... Navistar made the 7.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Would have to cause a safety concern like stalling to qualify for a recall, and like it was said in fight club: Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one. Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents? Narrator: You wouldn't believe. Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for? Narrator: A major one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamageINC Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 the FORD Scorpoin 6.7,should be very interesting...exhaust above the intake? Really? It's only a matter of time before some backyard yutz decides to slap some propane on it and taps the nozzles into the "intake" and blows the whole thing into orbit.
