Ford Motor Co. said an Illinois judge dismissed a lawsuit by Navistar International Corp. over diesel engines Navistar supplies for Ford's pickup trucks, Bloomberg News reported. Judge Dennis Burke in Cook County Circuit Court recommended the two companies enter mediation to resolve their dispute, according to a copy of the decision, Bloomberg reported late last Friday. A Navistar spokesman told Bloomberg the company looked forward to resolving the dispute via mediation. If mediation fails, Navistar can refile the suit, Bloomberg reported. Navistar filed the lawsuit June 4, saying Ford violated a contract by developing its own diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck. L&MT
i can see them getting upset for developing a new diesel for the super dudty, and IIRC that is under way already as well, but Navistar has never had a diesel in an F-150... so... boo hoo...
Like two siblings bickering. Ford will never get its diesel program together if these two keep going on like this . . . . .
