V8 turbo diesel testing is a
reflectionofFord’scommitmenttoengineerandbuild
this all-new diesel engine “in-house” and to meet the
needs of the Super Duty customer
• 250,000-miledurabilitytestingisdesignedtoidentify
structural fatigue points of the powertrain components
by simulating the driving habits of Super Duty
customers who tow heavy loads
– Test engines spend 1,200 hours at peak torque to test
thestrengthoftheengine’sinternalrotatingparts
• Thermalcycletestingstressesthecylinderhead
gaskets, engine sealing and cooling system
connections
– Engines are idled, run at peak power until
components are red hot, then shut off and allowed to
soak while 16-degrees-below-zero Fahrenheit coolant
is pumped through the engine
– The process repeats over and over for 150 hours
• Structuraltestingisruntoverifydesignparameters
including assessment of the effect of design tolerances
– Engineers build engines with tolerance-limit parts to
simulate potential quality issues before they happen
to the customer
• Real-worldweartestingsimulatestheoperating
conditions of 250,000 miles over the toughest grades
in temperatures ranging from 40 degrees below zero to
plus 130 degrees Fahrenheit
– This test cycle is the equivalent of 10 years in service
