Tim Lamkin,
I am surely suprized at the longevity of this thread. It is almost a waste of space(IMO) on this forum but the fact that has probably gave quite a few a good laugh. And to think I was going to post this in the 6.0L PSD forum but just about all of guys there already know the power a 6.0L PSD has and was sort of comparing it to the Dodge.

And so dawns the possible end of this post. But there will be more posts similar to this one, more HEMI's and Duramax's and Vortec's with that black stripe going across the side of their truck. It will only bare us one of the many embarrassments faced by the competition daily as they struggle to survive beyond Ford. And that's the end of this post. Or is it?.............

Granted the F-350 probably had a tuner, the Ram had at least dual exhuast. I do know the next larger Hemi is going to have 375hp but can't remember the torque, was not impressive though.


It is easy to catch up from behind when you already have a path of what to do figured out for you. It will take many years for the Titan to earn the respect that the F series has.
You do realize that your talking about the base engine offered in a 2500 series truck, compared to the top offered deisel in another truck, that is tuned? In my post of the Chevy, I was only showing you want just over $1000 in mods (3 to be exact-exhaust, chip, air filter) can net in results from a diesel. The new engine for the Ram is going to be a 6.1 HEMI with 425hp 440lb torque. Is the 5.4 offered as a base V8 gas engine in the F250/350?

Oh yeah, and about the Titan, I wasn't talking about reliability, or being a legend, I was only saying that in its first attempt in the full size market, the Nissan has become a very strong player. Like it or not, it beats the competitors in tests-not all, some of which don't "matter" to any of you, but it still wins. It is impressive because the only other japanese offering is the Tundra which isn't even really a full size truck.

If we snout our competitors, they will take us from behind, and we will not be able to react. It's best tyo give the others credit for what they have done, respect them for their accomplishments, and admire the true beast, the Ford. Though not the best in any aspect, its been around long enough to claim victory over all. The Titan is new, and cannot be judged already. Let's all look back to the K-car. It saved Chrysler from bankruptcy, but how many are around anymore...

Yeah, the PSD's can put out the power, especially when modded, I got spanked by an F350 that I didn't know was chipped =), he passed me like I was nothing.

Sems Dailer-Chrysler Dodge always comes up with a new car every 10-15 years to save their pants. The K-Car, the new 300, what will be next? WILL there be a next? Do K-cars exist outside museums anymore? Do they run?
