Delivery should stop in March, they say. But don't you worry, a replacement is currently being developped right now here in Europe. It''s a larger displacement version of the 3.6 litre V8 powering Land Rover vehicles.
If Ford sues one of its suppliers, it means they supplied real **** I should think.

Well that would be interesting. That would mean Ford would own the builder of Dodge diesels and GM heavy duty transmissions. So theoretically they'd have the other two of the big three in HD trucks by the *****.
GM was thinking about selling off Allison back in January but they did not. GM still owns it.
Ford owns a stake in Cummins but not sure if it's a controlling stake or not.

So you don't feel Navistar should pay Ford the warranty share money they agreed to? That is what the law suit is about, Navistar hasn't paid Ford any warranty cost share from the 6.0L fiasco.....that is why Ford stopped paying for engines. Navistar owes Ford a lot of money and right now Ford needs it.

Ford sucks because:
found on road dead, like many 8's.
Cheap, cheap, and cheap.
Parts are outrageously expensive compared to others.
Worst gas mileage, especially trucks.
dont support family values as they are the largest sponsor of the ghjey agenda.
I would rather pay and extra 10-15% for a chevy.
Mazda is owned by ford, yea but, Im sorta happy with my 8.
Im sure others can add to the list.
