Welp the new 08 powerstrokes have hit the ground! im startin to see em all over the place now! i saw a white 450 drive right past me! i was in such awww i forgot to roll the window down and hear what it sounded like under acceleration!

Cool, I wonder who will be the first TRC Member to own one and tell us their first hand experience with them?

the 08's are those wiht the twins?

Yep, 6.4 twin turbo

wonder if they whine much...probly wont but would be cool if they did

I believe I saw a silver one at a dealership off the highway. I tried to convince my parents to stop and so i could take pics, but i might go back some time maybe this weekend.

My husband takes me by the Ford lot almost every day to see if they have any more new ones then they did the day before. I do have to say that I am very impressed by them and I want to see one in my driveway! (maybe even two) waytogo

i got to lookin at the febuary diesel power...still havent got the new issue yet..tomorrow night i hope...anyway my god i cant even see the motor underneath all that stuff suprised they have room for the block i would hate to have to work on that thing

well....i guess they are all like that now arent they....sad

My understanding is that in order to service these new beasts, they have incorepated "quick-disconections" to remove the entire cab. Not a bad idea, but I wouldn't want to see them after a couple winters here in the northeast!!!

yeh they are definately crampt under the hood, its all that emmisions crap! well im seein em more and more now! i saw three on the highway today! man im droolin every time i see one!

have ya caught what they sound like yet?

After seeing, hearing one, I ordered an F450. I hope (pray) that the 6.4 is a MUCH improved version of the 6.0.

well lets just say this, they make the new duramax sound like an old cummins!

well i think this engine will be gold, they have logged over 10 million miles with this engine. i think this is the diesel that is going to bring back fords #1 position! just like the 7.3 did for them! im just scared of the emmisions stuff...i think if somethins going to fail it will be the emmisions stuff. and i hope theres going to be a way to makes the dual turbos sing to ya!

As much as the other two do sometimes make great inroads, Ford still outsells both of them COMBINED!
