PSD - power stroke diesel, used in Fords, almost as good as a Cummins.

Cummins...  an engine company owned by Ford.

     I have a 26' by 8' 6" wide enclosed V-nose car hauler that weighs 4400 lbs. empty. It's large enough that I can put my Suburban inside of it and is rated for the weight also. I have used my 3/4 ton '95 Suburban (which has a 454 with a 4L80E trans) to tow this trailer since I bought it in '99 and have really no complaints about towing with it except for the low gas mileage and loss of speed while going up long hills.
     A few months ago I purchased an '02 Ford Crewcab Pickup with the Powerstroke Turbo Diesel and only have one complaint about it - don't ever forget to plug in the engine block heater on those cold nights! I have already cut my fuel costs almost in half going to this vehicle as my primary driver, as compared to my Suburban's mileage. I am looking forward to towing with the Ford, as it should be so much easier with the Diesel and get almost twice the mileage (my 454 got 8 MPG!).
Smites are a cowards way of feeling brave!   :jerkoff:

No it isn't.

LOL!

Well, whatever.  I know that there was a relationship recently.  PSD's are International motors  (444's if you've got something like a 4700 INT...).  

Maybe FoMoCo sold it?  Let me see what I can find.

The Ford owning Cummins is a story that has been floating around for a while. From what I have seen, Ford never owned Cummins.
