Gen 3 Lightning a DIESEL?

Rebel20o7 · 12-07-2007, 02:33 AM

Ok, get this everyone. I was driving through the local Ford dealeship lot and of course a salesman had to come check out my truck. I asked him if he knew when the Gen 3 was supposed to come out. He said he had just read something about them and they are gonna have a diesel engine. Most likely the new 6.2 they have been working on. Ok, is there any truth to this? I do not want the Gen 3 L to be a diesel. Who's with me?

Your first mistake was asking a salesman anything, and believing it.

Rebel20o7 · 12-08-2007, 01:24 AM

I never said I believed it. I think its the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

I would agree, the salesman prolly did not even know what a Lightning is...
I think a diesel might be cool. there is alot of perfomance in those nowadys.

Turbo diesels lay down crazy torque...I think it would be hot. I also think there's never going to be another lightning made by ford. Just my .02

We have not heard anything about this and we would know first.

I did see the motor trend article on the new 150 there was reference to the 6.2 gas motor in the harley.

They are pushing us to get more and more Diesel and Hybrid training, if fuel prices continue to rise these power plants will be in more vehicles than we think

fatoeknee · 02-09-2008, 04:47 PM

maybe they are talking about the 6.2L hurricane push rod based motor?

Have you ever seen the power gains diesel guys get with just a programmer ??

A turbodiesel Lightning might take some getting used to but its potential would be huge....

After seeing Diesel truck drag racing yesterday and the PRO STREET class it can be a reality.. Seeing some of these BIG trucks run some mid 11's letting off and on the throttle more than once and coasting through the traps. I did see a few street looking trucks running 12.teens too Envioramently friend I, think NOT. They do CHUG big black smoke , the modded ones that is!!!!
