They are going to put Ford stickers on the valve covers.

The heads on the current 5.0L were designed to fit a DI injector. The question is not if but when this will happen.

Why does GMC compare its v8 to Ford's ecoboost

I would guess the 2nd gen will get the PTWA cylinders as has been advertised and maybe a bump in power.

Keep dreaming. 200 hundred lawsuits out of nearly 500k trucks on the road.

Aren't there rumors of a 2.7 L Eco in the 2015? I don't mean to replace the 3.5 eco, but as an additional choice.

I'm not sure if the shudder issues is necessarily a CAC, torque converter, or other issue. I (knock on wood) nor the other two eb owners I know personally have never had shudder problems. And we live in rainy humid SC. I think it's a solid motor with good smooth torque and power delivery and I'm sure it will get better with time.
