2008 superduty sighting

i just got back west virginia, and along the way in kentucky i spotted 5 2008 superduties in a prking lot when i was getting gas. i walked over to check them out....two had the v10 in them, and the other three had the 6.4. i am sorry i got no pictures...i got to look under the hood of the 6.4 and it looks awesome...they have dual exhaust pipes out the passenger side behind the rear tire too, looks mean. They had the front and rear of the trucks camoed with tape, but you could still see the differences. I talked to the guys who were driving them and they knew hardly anything about the 6.2 hurricane, all they said was they had heard of it? Two were pulling gooseneck trailers with weight on them, one was a v10, and one was a 6.4. Also there was an 06 amarilla dually follaowing them with 200 gallons of ULS diesel fuel for the 6.4's.

just thought i would pass this on. looks pretty promising for the 08 v-10's

No pics!?

So there were TWO exhaust pipes coming out behind one rear tire? Like two small pipes side by side, sort of like some sporty cars have?

Yes, technically called "compound turbos." It's a smaller turbo feeding a bigger turbo.

Head down to the diesel section and there's a whole subforum on the new 6.4 with lots of info.

A nice encounter indeed. Now I want to find out what these new trucks have in them that might make them even more desirable.

The SuperCab with have a Moon roof Option , Sat Radio With Nav, Tire pressure monitor system. Stability control, side air bags. I heard at one point the F250 was to get IFS .but also heard that idea was pushed back to 2010 or something not sure about that one. Also read something about hyd launch,brake something.
Some color changes also.

i think your talking about the hydraulic launch. when your truck is breaking and idleing it converts that energy into hydrualic pressure used to propell the truck upon takeoff. not sure when it will be avalible though. also, i hope the f-250 will always remain solid front axle.
keep it ford

If ford was smart they would make the F250 IFS and keep the F350 as is. I know that because it is not common architecture that they wont do it but that would be the best solution I think. It would allow people to get exactly what they want.

But there has been no diesel or V10 in the F150 for towing, ever.
