In this months 4 Wheel Drive (or 4 wheeler I don't recall) it has been reported that Navistar is no longer sending Ford engines claiming Ford is not living up to their end of the contract.
So, where does this leave Ford, having limited supplies and no replacement manufactures.
WASHINGTON -- Ford Motor Co. won a court order Wednesday to force a supplier of diesel engines to resume shipments to Ford's Louisville, Ky., truck plant, though operations will remain reduced until at least next week.
In a three-page ruling, Oakland County Circuit Judge John McDonald issued a temporary restraining order requiring Navistar International Corp. to resume production and shipment of its 6.4-liter diesel Ford PowerStroke engines used in Ford F-Series Super-Duty trucks. The supplier stopped shipping engines Monday over a pricing and warranty dispute.
Ford spokeswoman Becky Sanch said it would be at least until next week that Ford returns to full speed.
Earlier, Ford said it would reduce shifts today, close the plant Friday and operate one shift daily beginning Monday until Ford begin receiving engines on a timely basis.............
