Ford did as dodge does. For years ford
installed international harvester engines in there trucks and vans but
represented them as a ford product. Don’t get me wrong they were good engines
but I never saw a turbo unit. Im not sure when ford came out with there
powerstroke. Dodge has always used Cummins ether 12 or 24 valve also very
strong good engines.
Good luck Derick

Up Trucks
we have a Ford '72 F250
that has really low mileage on it and were considering a diesel conversion. how
far back did Ford make diesels for their trucks (assuming that they do.) any
input would be appreciated.

Hi All,
It looks like I´m finally going redneck and buying my first pickup truck. Of
course, it will be a diesel. I was looking at used Chevy S-10´s, particularly
the double cabin variety as I have two small kids. I´m looking for a tough,
long lasting vehicle that I can haul building materials, worm bins, bagged
vermicompost, and drums of waste oil and ethanol. I´d also be using it to
get my wife and I to work and the kids to school. I´m not interested in
something sexy, I married her. I need a working vehicle. Any suggestions
out there. Of the vehicles I saw in the archives, there were things like
hybrids that I really don´t think I need. Any Brazilian pickups that run on
straight ethanol I would certainly consider. It´s just that I´m
planning on generating my own electricity and heating my house with a diesel
generator. It doesn´t really make much sense to me at this point to go ethanol.
Thanks,
Tom Irwin
