SO Tech Expert: Ford PSD's
Hey guys, I just got back from my training on the new 6.7. There are some things i really like:
They have confirmed a minimum of 18% better fuel economy due to the fact that the truck will re-gen 1/17 of the time compared to the 6.4 the SCR reduces emissions so well and the truck burns and runs so clean the DPF does not trap as much particulate matter.
The egr cooler is a dual setup and takes minutes to remove from the engine. The coolers have seperate cooling systems one cooled by the primary and the other cooled by the secondary. making egr gasses much cooler (when needed). the cooler gas can also be bypassed to keep the exhaust gasses hotter to keep from making any kind of build-up of deposits.
The urea does not cost as much as expected and you can get it at truck stops and auto parts stores. it looks like a gallon may be about $5 for right now but that includes a bottle with nozzle for cold weather filling. and it can be as low as $2 a gallon if the dealer buys in bulk. The urea can als be called Ad blue and DEF.
The instrument cluster of this truck is better than any one i have ever seen. The built fod tough brick drops and breaks the concrete in the 4 inch LCD screen in the cluster.
The truck will also let you know if your low pressure fuel system pressure is low to prevent engine damage and letting you know when your filter is becomming restricted. the engine will de-rate if it sees the pressure go low to prevent injector damage.
The injectors are each flow tested and the ECM gets an indentification number programmed in for each injector for it's calibration and flow rate to make running smoother and better fuel economy. the high pressure pump also has different controls to help control the load that the pump makes on the engine to also help get better fuel economy.
The engineers seemed to have the technician in mind. they also had fuel economy as their #1 priority. My instructor says he has yet to see a new 6.7 drop below 17mpg empty. The truck for the chicago training center is missing though. it was not on the train. the truck we used came from the milwaukee training center. the other design changes of the body are small. it is a good lookin truck. but that instrument cluster is bad a$$. lets see what happens. I feel better about this one than the 6.4
