I decided to look at the other side of the fence today...and the grass is certainly not greener. Are all Dodge guys this close minded and ignorant??

 

are they just stupid? how do they figure the 7.3 is more powerful?

 

That's what I was wondering. I have a 7.3L, and love it, but I know the 6.0L would kick me in the butt if I tried to out-tow, or plain out-perform it.

EDIT: Not too mention the comment about the 4.73 gears. I have never heard of anything in the 4.73 variety, not too mention, most 6.0L are equipped with 3.73's (my guess, based from what I've seem here) The 4.30 gears, can tow well over 19K. Best in class. Maybe these guys have envy or something. I'm just surprised that this was even an issue over there.
Can anybody verify 4.73 gears? I know that there is 4.88, but never heard of 4.73.

 

nope the biggest gear is 4.30 with 4.10 and 3.73 as standard options. right off of fords website.

 

I knew that those were the stock options. Ever hear of anything like 4.73 aftermarket?

 

well yeah i have but i assume he just pulled it out of nowhere so he could look important. most of those guys are followers if one guys says something half smart they all jump on the bandwagon and repeat it so they look smart to.

 

Well seeing as how stupid most of those guys sound......No wonder they drive Dodges...lol..

 

well i registered at the dodge site and asked him why he thinks a 6.0 that has more HP and TQ is more powerfull than a 7.3

 

1990 Ford Super Duty 5.9 Cummins......

A cummins in a ford? People never learn.....

 

I tried joining last night, but I have hotmail, and it won't allow me to join due to that.

Did you see the response to that? "Too much turbo..." That doesn't make any sense, at all. The 6.0L doesn't have any trouble towing, infact, it tows fine, so I don't know how or why these guys make up crap like that. I seem to remember every test ever done with the 3 diesels, the Ford 6.0L came out on top everytime...so where do these guys get their information?

 

I was really tempted to join myself but its not even worth the trouble. Either they will continue to spew out garbage or stop responding. Still funny to read nonetheless. I have driven both a brand new 7.3 and 6.0 and it is easy to tell which one has more power.

 

Also, all these debates on what saved dodge. Some said the Cummins saved it, some said the newer body style saved it, but we all must remember it was the government that saved it when Chrysler filed for bankruptcy

 

I fail to see the problem here.

We know they are ignorant. Its best that they stay that way, frankly I'm happy to see they still are... because that will always give us an edge

You have to look at the brighter side of it.

I think every Dodge boy around here has "Ignorant Hick" tatooed on their forehead. I'm glad for that, because the Cummins actually has some power potential...but thankfully, a severe lack of intelligence prevents most Dodges from ever seeing that potential.

I guess the Dodge boys get off on being cocky because they have arguably the most powerful production engine ever made...oh wait, they DID...35 years ago...back when pushrods and distributors were actually cool. Too bad they are stuck in the past.

 

I dont think anyone in that thread or what not has any common since. "too much turbo"...right. "4.73 gears"...right. The 2nd gen dooodge trucks saved dodge or whatever...right. I have a good feeling Cummins has Dodge on a leashe. Also "the 7.3 has more power than the 6.0" look at a dyno. Oh well, they drive dodges for a reason.

Like I've posted in another thread, I saw a 98 cummins with the bed off in my dads body shop, and the frame had more rust than mine... and its 10 years newer. I flipped an exhaust clamp with my finger and it fell off. Both ohio trucks driven year round.

 

i did mean to say that a 6.0 is more powerfull than a 7.3. i just re-read my post and i said it backwards...i am guessing you guys caught that

ps. i just let him have it again...i guess i am a dodge truck forum troll...thats not good, maybe i should let it be
