WARRENVILLE, IL -- Navistar International said today that it will resume production of Power Stroke diesel engines used by Ford Motor Co. in its heavy duty pickup truck line. The announcement is in response to a temporary order issued by Judge John J. McDonald of the Circuit Court of Oakland County, MI.

Judge McDonald issued the temporary order late Wednesday afternoon and scheduled a hearing for both companies Wednesday, March 7.

Under Judge McDonald’s order, Ford will be required to pay, without deductions, for all diesel engines it receives from International Truck and Engine Corp., Navistar’s principal operating company.

Navistar announced Monday that it was immediately suspending production of the new 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine because Ford had stopped honoring the terms of agreement under which the engines were built.
