KenneBell makes a supercharger kit for it!

 

No he doesn't. I thought so, too. This was their response: "Sorry but we actually do not have a kit for the superduty 5.4 as it is a different setup than the standard 5.4 and V-10. As of right now we do not have any plans for a kit. We thank you for your interest in Kenne Bell superchargers.

James"

this one is cool... http://www.trixtersracing.com/54l.htm

 

Big Hoss, I have been waiting for the 5.4 S/C from Whipple. But now I am concerned they won't be for the Superduty, just for the F-150's 5.4
they never have said it was for a S/D, just said it was for the 5.4....Like I thought Ken Belle would, too. But when I called them and e-mailed them, they assured me the S/D is different. I was really bummed out cuz Ken Belle is only a couple of miles from me.

The only one I have found for the S/D that's S/D specified is Vortech. Eventhough I have my heart set on a twin screw. I have emailed Vortech to see if the 2003 S/D I have will take their set up for a 2002. Ya' just never know for sure, but it should

 

how intense do u wanna get? i could send u some info on a guy i use to build my turbos... he makes kits for all kinds of stuff. id prefer a turbo, personally, but its ur truck...

 

I would like to equal the power of a V-10 say 440 torque and about 350 hp. Turbo's not my favorite way to go. I think it would be cheaper to trade in and eat the loss than to go turbo...just guessing.

 

I thought that you saved that title for jeb!

I only own 3 Fords. 2 - 2002s and a 2003. Total MSRP of around $125,000. Just can't stand them, I guess.

I also own a fully restored 1964 Ford Falcon and am Vice President of the local Falcon Club.

So post my picture in the Post Office if you want. Ford's Most Wanted #1. Yep, that's me.

I will admit that I have absolutely no brand loyalty. I buy what suits me and is the best deal at the time. If that is a Ford, OK with me. I actually get better deals on GM, but they don't sell anything that I want to buy. Drove a Suburban before buying my X. Glad I got the X.

You do know that I have a 2003 7.3 PSD X don't you? You do know that the X replaced a '99 F250 SC PSD, didn't you?

What you have seen me do is complain vigorously about Ford's incredibly poor customer service. They suck and I will tell you and everyone else that fact every single chance that I get. If this bothers you, too bad. I believe that Ford follows this forum, and I want to get the message across loud and clear.


You see it as bad-mouthing, I see it as being realistic. I do not look at the world through blue-colored glasses. I have stated many times before that I know that some of my statements on a Ford forum are not going to win me any friends. Sometimes the truth hurts. But people ask me my opinion, and I have one. It just happens to disagree with your. So you start in with personal attacks rather than discussing the subject calmly, logically and rationally. Say what you want. I'm not going anywhere. Whatever name you affix to me, I've been called worse. I do not lack in self-esteem and you will not hurt my feelings.

In case you missed the point of my post, it was that no one knows what the problem rate is, good or bad. I have no business saying X% are bad, so I don't, because I don't know for sure. But the opposite is also true. No one else knows what % have been good. I was pointing out that a 5% defect rate is considered very high, and a 10% defect rate sends Detroit into cardiac arrest. But I don't know what the 6.0 defect rate is and have never suggested otherwise. But to say that 90% have been good really is not saying very much.


OK. You're right. That's another way to look at it.

 

just thought id ask... turbos are just a little more driver friendly... but ur probably right on the $$$ aspect. a tuba kit would probablycost u close to 6-7 grand....but it would be soooooooo worth it

 

Well...Back to the original topic.

My Cousin and (2) close friends have '03 6.0 Duallies. One has over 60,000 miles already. No problems from any of them. In fact it is mostly their experiences that finaly convinced me to buy my 1st diesel. At 4,500 miles I am very happy.

I hate to admit it but alas, I did drive a Dodge Cummings 4x4. Just didn't like it. I have other friends that LOVE their Dodge Hemi's but when I asked them about the diesel? Well, Like I said...they LOVE their Hemi's.

So take it for what it is worth but my experiences have been very positive.

FYI: On a kinda side note. It is merely my observation but it seems that no one really compares the Duramax to the 6.0 or the Cumminings when shopping for diesel trucks. The Chevy purist just buys the Chevy. While shoppers seem to shop the Ford / Dodge lines with little or no regard to the Chevy.

Whata ya think? Bad observation?

 

really isnt much to compare, is there??

 

That would be a NOPE!

 

OK jschira, who threw the first personal attack by posting that I have a blue haze. Then you turn around and agree that noone know what is the problem rate. You state you are unhappy with Ford service but you keep buying Fords. Kind of masochistic. If you want to complain, write Ford directly to Bill Ford. Quit bringing your downer attitude here.

 

The problems that I have had are with my recent purchases. Too late for them. I am stuck. But I opted to buy an '04 Ram rather than a new F150 for this reason. And I could have gotten the Silverado cheaper, but didn't want it.

 

You know that all you want is an argument. That is the only thing you live for. You and Jeb both are always trying to start an argument where there is none. I don't understand. I guess that complaining about you and Jeb and your attitudes will give me about as much fun as you are having,

 

Are you saying that you don't even own a Ford PSD? What are you wasting your time and ours by stirring trouble on our threads?
