Ford, Navistar Reach Impass

Ford diesel fans, heads up! Navistar, the engine manufacturing company that puts the torque under Ford’s diesel pickups, has suspended production of the Navistar line. The well-known, 6.4 liter "Power Stroke" engine manufacturer and Ford have been duking it out since January when Ford sued Navistar International after the engine firm--alleges the Ford suit--began jacking the prices on the Power Strokes, "without adequate explanation or support for its actions."

Already Ford has shuttered one of its pickup manufacturing plants that Navistar previously shipped to. What the future holds for the troubled truck maker now is anyone’s guess.
