The best place to get that sort of info is in passing from those that do it.

The new silverado does.

Not cutting your grass there Jim, but both the silverado and F series are built to the same US market requirements, so it would be fair to assume that if the silverado meets euro4, the F truck will to.

AFAIK about 10 years ago, the US went from having the slackest diesel emission requirements in the world to the most stringent.

The ADblue/Bluetec diesels were developed first for the US market, IMHO, before they were rolled out for the euro market.

Steve.

Didn't say that the F series didn't.

Ford have had some, we'll say teething problems, with their later model diesels. They have a new engine again, they say it's the best one yet - though I did hear that last time as well.

397hp Duramax Silverado

Who is bringing in the now fords??? Performax in Gympie do GM (will be talking to them soon), but I haven't heard of anyone bringing over the fords thats why thought I would ask to see if anyone knew.

thanks for the info

Check out the foot room for the driver in a converted current generation F truck before you lay down the cash.

Thanks matt_85lux that would be awesome.

Seen a new effy in NSW. Look wicked. Like a concept..

Spoke to Performax in Gympie yesterday, and they have 2 sitting on a dock in the states waiting to come over but are being held up with red tape. There is no issue with EURO 4 is other things but nothing critical.

They also said there is a company in Melbourne with a few, But ruff cost from Performax $140,000
