On Sunday, June 3rd we plan on having another truck meet in Millersburg, Ohio. You may have seen our past meets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This one will be the same. We’ll get together and shoot the breeze about Ford trucks (and trucks in general), then we’ll drag a trailer up and down a 15%-17% grade hill and compare how the trucks did. It’s always a fun, educational, and occasionally piston melting, turbo breaking event.

Post here if you are interested in coming. As we get closer to the date I'll be posting campground and hotel information for those that may be coming before hand.

I also posted this thread in the Super Duty, Excursion, General Diesel, 6.7, 6.4, 7.3, 6.2, 3.5/2.0 EcoBoost, 6.8 and 5.4/4.6 forums.

 

I think John knows about the turbo breaking part.......

 

Ouch

 

Ha! That exactly why I put that in there.

 

Excellent news.... I always enjoy the videos!

BTW... I would love to see a Ecoboost in the mix

 

Hey, Hey.. it was on the way out anyhow... just happened at an inconvenient time is all.....

 

You still faired better than my neighbor did that day.

 

Lmao, you can count me in on the turbo issues to

 

Here's the full report.... Including the Dodge with the melted piston.

Yeah that was a rough day for my neighbor. He had the engine rebuilt (he didn't do cheaply either) after that and it only ran a few months before the turbo disinigrated and took out a good chuck of the engine again. He ended up selling it for a good price even with it needing a new/rebuilt engine.

 

BTW John thanks for the stickie. It looks like between you and powerstroke72 I won't need to bother bumping these threads this time around.

 

What did your neighbor get now?

 

He's still driving a 2005-2007 3V V10 Super Duty. I know he's been thinking about getting a 6.7 but been waiting for his business to pick back up before he does.

 

He should tow with that 3v. It would be interestin to compare ur v-10 to his 3v

 

ill try and make it down there with my f550 and show you all how to tow
