6.9L IDI Dyno Test
A while back, one of you pointed out that the ORA IDI 6.9L dyno test was no longer up. Made a call and had it put back up for everyone's enjoyment. They apparently accidentally left it out when transferring to a new URL late last year.

I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this, but I don't think the powerstrokes are not worth the metal that goes into them. For all the high tech systems and all the computer integration, they still burn the same amount of fuel - if not more than the older IDIs. And then there's the cost of all those high tech parts (don't even want to know how much an overhaul would cost!).
As Jim's dyno test proves, the road has a hard time telling a turbocharged 6.9 from a powerstroke. Now if Dave ever put his rig on a dyno......I hope the dyno is insured.

I don't think my engine is quite that bad, but it has put a few new trucks in their place, behind me.
But sooner or later, I run out of gears about 102 MPH and then they go flying by if they have big enough kahuna's.
One of my friends just gave me a line on a 96 dually axle today, if it is still there I may have to install that six speed this summer. Then we can see who runs out of gears and power first.
With my tires and gears with the RPM I can turn, a six speed should be able to run 143 MPH.
I see speeding tickets may be in my future if I do the six speed and keep the 3.55 gears.
