I got a kick out of the "future losses" part of the counter sue by Navistar.

 

Gee, I didn't see this coming.

 

Is there a law saying Ford can not R & D their own engine while under contract with Cornbinder? Speaking of contract... contracts come to an end. The vendor isn't guaranteed a renewal of that contract. Therefore a company (Ford) can either create a market for vendors to bid on, or take the project on themselves. Ford is forced to defend itself for planning ahead. If Navistar could have developed a reliable unit to replace the 7.3, Ford wouldn't need to look elsewhere. Maybe I'm way off, but I felt the need.

Time for a new engine, ever since the 7.3L loss, navistars been makeing a crappy engine, ford got the bones, time for a Cat. Ford gotta get a CAT. I hope if they build there own, how good it could be.

 

how can they sue for makeing there own engine anyways, I understand all the legel crap, but you cant blame them your building a unrelible engine, navistars a joke.

 

If I fall your going down with me... your going down with me baby if I fall. <- I think that was a song.

 

Ford needs to find another engine maker. Navistar is just a bad brand. I have worked on International engines for years, and in many different trucks. I can tell you that their engines were the weakest of the diesel engines used in OTR tractors.

 

Cat is not interisted. Unless you are talking about a cat for chasing mice or something. In that case, the cat might be interisted. How much does a UAW cat get paid?

I know that, but they should push for it im sure ford could get them to, after all everybody would be driveing the ford with the yellow motor.

 

I take it you've never worked on a detroit diesel then

 

I kinda like the Idea of a Ford with a Detroit under the hood. Just has a nice ring to it.

 

I don't.........not sure of the current situation concerning musical owners but Detroit has always meant GM to me.

Pretty sure the 6.2/6.5 junk were considered Detroit Diesels.

 

I think DCX has the majority shareholding at the moment...
