Drove a Dodge.

Drove a Dodge.
My friend bought a 2004 24 valve complete with stacks, intake and a edge attitude with juice. It seems like a dog to me. I thought it would have more power than it did. It drove well handled well tracked well, but there is no way it could out run my truck. He is using it for a farm truck though so he should be fine. btw he has a 2010 6.4 that is fast as hell!!
Just thought with all the hub bub it would be faster.

The reason that truck is a dog is b/c he's got a crappy edge box. A smarty would wake that truck up.. or EFI live when it comes available for the 03-05 trucks

After owning a few Dodge's in the past...if it's an Automatic, it will feel like a pig regardless of how much power is thrown at it until...you get a real trans and converter behind it, then they become beasts! I did this in my last cummins truck and it felt like it doubled in power. Our stock trans/converters are light years better.

ISB's don't have the best top end but they have a lot of muscle on the bottom of the torque curve with a good trans behind them.

I talked to a man that has owned super duties for years. He bought a dodge duelly. He hauls horse trailers and said that the dodge was a dog compared to his super duties (6.0) but when you hook a horse trailer to that dodge it is night and day difference with the power that dodge has. He also through out that he has a. 99 7.3 that you cannot tear up!

I seem to get lead foOt each time I'm around another diesel, yesterday being no exception.
First another 250 jacked up 4 x 4, wanna be Fall Guy looking truck. I stopped at the tollway to pay and he passed me in the EZ tag. Within seconds I was behind him and noticed I was going near 90, in his draft. Hit the gas a bit more and within a few more seconds he was an ant in my rear view mirror.
Then a Dodge with two stacks in the bed. He revved up and sped up once he crept up alongside me from a few paces back, then tried to gun his truck. I think I saw him crying when I decided enough was enough.
