Jim Warman Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ford has released the web based training course 30N37W0 - 2011 Super Duty new model training... I've only just started it but, early in the course, it directs us to a video on Ford Tube ( http://fordtube.dealerconnection.com/video.php?video_key=afd4b01b3ca03f8baa857761a0b953b1 for those that can access it) that is proving to be quite interesting... The vid is 42 minutes long so make sure you have a beverage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Some highlights.... The intake valves on the 6.2 look to be huge... the spark plug and cable arrangment "strongly suggests" a waste spark setup... I envision one positive plug and one negative plug per cylinder. The 6.7 will have an exhaust brake that works in conjunction with the tow/haul feature. Remote start and 110 volt inverter are standard on some models... The new transmission (if equipped with the PTO provision) will be capable of pump and roll operation... the PTO will continue to function even when you are stopped. They are suggesting a 150,000 mile service interval for the trans. Torque converter locks up at 900 rpm... Rick Titus mentions "double overdrive top gears"... I'm assuming that this means the two highest ratios are both overdriven... The grille (Dwayne will be happy to know) doesn't open with the hood. Specialty orange coolant is required with a test interval of 15000 miles. We all know what will happen here... The truck is available with a 5th wheel mount provision and even an in box 7 pin trailer plug. And yes, they talk about installing service bodies. All in all, it looks like they did their homework on these trucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I almost want to say that is the same group of videos the in-dealer training presentation used. Definitely worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
