6.4

Welcome to the second blog post detailing the development of the Mishimoto 6.4L Powerstroke upper radiator support bar. Last time, we looked at why front-end chassis flex in the 6.4 Super Duty has the potential to exceed a safe magnitude, using our advanced American architecture as a comparison. We learned that too much flex spells possible consequences, so we made it our goal to stiffen things up. But how did we do it?

We did it in the most American way possible - through innovation.

The Mishimoto 6.4 not only served as a great testing and engineering platform, but also as a useful tool during construction of our new R&D center.

Our Founding Fathers did not tear everything down and begin anew; they met in Philadelphia, just forty minutes north of the Mishimoto R&D Center, and took their existing European systems of law and order, threw out the things that weren't working, and stuck to the tried-and-true principles as a foundation.

This same workflow can be found at the beginning of most
