I own a 1997 F-250 XL HeavyDuty 2wd PSD 5 speed and some guy who thinks hes a hot shot pulls up to me in a brand new dodge 2004 2500 4x4 regular cab 5.9 cummins auto, pulls up to me and takes 1 look at my truck and laughs then he guns it. Well i said screw him and just kept driving. I pulled up to him agian down the road and he did the same thing but this time i porked it show him what this psd had and flew by him. He tried did to get by but could not keep up so i was givin him the finger and laughin cause he could not catch up with truck that should be out of this leauge in power terms. So I pull in the local wendeys to grab lunch and behold he pulls in asks if i had a banks kit or some kind of chip in my truck i said no and said it is amazaing how 325 hp and 600 lb-fts of tourque can catch up on you.. He leaves ****ed and was mad how his ALMIGHTY CUMMINS Couldnt HANDLE a lower class psd.
So if a new 5.9 cant beat the first 7.3Lpsd hows it gonna beat a 6.0L.

I like that saying but i wanted to show him all the hype about the cummins is nothing. Anway I hate the cummins and plus i wanted to see what that new cummins can do. It shows me the hype and power is nothing in that truck.

I'm calling B.S. I think you would agree that the new 6.0 easily outperforms the 7.3, and in the following article, the new cummins handily outperforms the 6.0.

an excerpt:

But the proof is in the performance testing. In my prior Dodge Diesel test (235 hp California engine), the Quad Cab dually was only able to run 0-60 in about 11 seconds. Forget all that. The new diesel (test vehicle was a Quad Cab short bed 4X4) ran 0-60 in a class-leading 8.03 seconds. Even with its limited slip rear axle and some turbo lag, it would could still light up the rear tires, especially when nailing the throttle after exiting a tight corner. Who said diesels aren't a blast to drive. Passing tests demonstrated the ability to run from 50-70 mph in about five seconds and accelerate from 50-70 mph up a steep grade in eight seconds. But the real test came when pulling a 13,000-pound gooseneck trailer up that same steep grade.

It could seem far fetched but it happened. My truck is fast with the 3.73 gears and 5 speed manual it flies with the 7.3 in it. Manny people call the 7.3Lpsd with 5 speed manual speedys. Mine can go 0-60 in about 8 seconds timed it myself.

I guess anything is possible!

 

i just bought that tranny for a 97 w/ 150k on it, $1630 it costs, the non dual mass flywheel/clutch kit will cost another $400

Bellhousing on this particular 4x4 F-250 has been welded twice, the now bent input shaft makes it impossible for it to hold oil, the oily clutch doesnt help matters

Trucks go good tho, they all get hammed to death here

Also ordered a Gm 6.5 TD $3000 to the dock, gota a 3500HD down with a crank broke in 2 spots, nice cast crank GM

 

I agree. The 7.3 PSD's I have drove have been pretty lame in the power department, when both unladen my 5.4 will out run one. I have seen upsets before, as I was able to take a 350 powered chebby with my 300 6, but this one ain't happening.

 

well good buddy why dont i show you how lame it is.


Josh

 

Good goin thats good you showed that cummins hes nothing.
