it has a superchips program installed into the computer. not a chip, a reprogramming. it is all stock, but puts out 611 HP and 1125ft lbs of rear wheel torque on the dyno 4 weeks ago. i asked to see the dyno slip, and he said he did not get one.

Hey, some people need to say these kinds of things to make themselves feel better about hat they drive.
yup. he also told me that it runs consistent 12.2 second quarter mile runs. and that i should run 4 wheel drive when i want to take off hard, because the wheels will not spin. all the 4 wheel drive racers run like this to prevent wheel spin.
he also has a pos duster with a stock 2 barrel 293 in to with an automatic trans and open pipes off the stock manifolds.
he claims it runs consistent 9.5 quarter mile runs.
with his 375lb tub of lard butt in the driver seat.

sounds like a fat guy I used to know. He drove a GMC and always told me how much better it was than my POS ford (i.e. fords always break, they are crappy, they dont make any power, etc.) Eventually though, I just learned to ignore it and laugh about it. (He shut up though after I came and picked his ass up when his precious gmc died and wouldn't start. That make my day. )
several years back in this thread someone suggested a cat motor in an f 650. well, in 2009, cat is done making engines. epa and calif emissions killed them. be wary of any truck with a 3126 engine. they were not tough enough for some particular styles of trucking and are costly to rebuild/fix.

I do know of a F-350 that had a Cat installed. It was used for Hot Shot delivery from Ft. Worth to OKC/KC/Little Rock/ El Paso/etc. The chassis had over a million miles on it (with several repairs of course), and the engine was a replacement for a 460 cid V-8 that was the original installation when deleivered from Ford. I think that was an 82 or 83 MY cab chassis. It's still on the road, but is local use only. The long shots out of town are done using an F-450 (?). I have no idea what engine either.

i had one of the local my dodge is better than your ford buttheads this morning tried to tell me his pos dodge turd regularly gets 33 mpg on the highway and 30 mpg around town when i commented
I drive a very detuned full size diesel sedan and it regulary knocks out 50 on the hwy. However, you gotta really work it to get it up to speed on an on ramp. I dont think that would be practical in a towing rig to detune enough to get that extreme of mileage.
A long time ago a guy with a bare bones 2 wheel drive 12v cummins tuned for mileage and was able to get 30 mpg in flat country. No way that dipschmidt your talkin to even gets 20.
There was an ecm reprogram available for the 24v cummins but you had to ship your ecm to italy. Coincidently they had a very nice mpg tune.
This summer me and my buddies were rodeoing a bunch. We did most of our pullin(28` 5 horse with living quarter all steel heavy as hell) with my buddies dodge (07 megacab 6.7 cummins drw)and got between 8-10 until he put a dpf delete and then we were gettin about 12-14. Then we used my dads pickup(07 ford 6.0 psd srw) and we were geting about 10-12. Personally from driving them both the dodge can pull better but not as nice to drive as the ford. Hopefull this helps.
In my experience, the PSD will outlast the Cummins. The Cummins engines have a lot of little issues, such as oil pumps, fuel rails, etc... that go wrong a lot. Also, as said, the rest of the truck will apart around the Cummins engine anyway.
Dude as long as I've been posting here you've done nothing but sit around and wait for somebody to say something good about the CTD and then chime in with a known fallacy and justify it by saying "in my experience". You are about as realistically factual as 93Ranger, you are just more literate. We all know you have a deep seated hatred for the CTD and a hard on for the PSD, feel free to not reaffirm that everytime a newbie comes to the forums.

The whole diesel longevity thing has had a wrench thrown in the works with these new emissions regulations. DPF, EGR and all that other crap just fries (puts heat back in the motor) the new diesels, thus lowering the service life.
