    Leaked: Ford 4.4-Liter Diesel Engine Specs

    SANTA MONICA, California — Photos of Ford's new 4.4-liter V8 diesel engine were leaked on the Web, along with some specifications and Ford's rollout plan. According to the accompanying placard, the engine will first become available in the 2010.5 Ford F-150. Following the F-150 application it will extend to the Expedition, Super Duty, Econoline and Lincoln Navigator.

    The placard also shows a comparison of the new diesel engine to the current gas-powered 5.4-liter V8. According to Ford, acceleration is about the same, yet the diesel yields a 20 percent increase in fuel mileage, while providing 9 percent more horsepower and 15 percent more torque.

    Also described on the placard is the aqueous urea used to make the 4.4-liter a clean diesel. Ford is recommending replenishing the urea at each oil change, and there will also be dash warnings as to when this needs to be refilled. The urea fill port will be inside the fuel filler door.

    I hope it's more reliable than the 6.0L Powerstroke that was used from 2003-2007 before it was replaced by the 6.4L version in 2008. Too bad it will use urea like the MB Bluetec diesel. Time to wait for Dodge to come up with a diesel for the Ram 1500.
