Navistar Rolling Out Powerstrokes for Ford Again

In less time than it takes to warm up a glow-plug, Navistar International says it will start producing PowerStroke diesel engines for Ford pickups. Well, maybe a little more time--three days actually. Last week Navistar said it would stop shipping the little diesel engines after they and Ford got into a brawl over engine prices.

It took little time for a Michigan judge to order Navistar to start engine production back up. At the same time, Ford got a wrist-slap, essentially told by the court that they would pay the full price demanded by Navistar. Ford's contention has been Navistar has jacked their prices with out substantiation. More court time is in the offing.
