Stump Pullin
i gotta tell ya guys about my day. so i had an over grown tree infront of my house. it was about up to the top of my 2 story house and it needed to come down. so today i chopped it down than the stump needed to go too. so 1st i backed up my 1998 f150 with a 4.6l triton i hooked up a line and put the truck in 4 wheel low. i pounded it and i was in a stand still barley rockin the big ol stump. my clutch was smokin like crazy. i let off the tension and tried several more times with not much more succes i was jst burning my new clutch. Now i went n got my 1984 f150 with the good ol stump pullin 4.9. put it in 4low and pulled it out of the ground after 3 tries 
as dissapointed as i was in my newer truck, I had a huge smile on my face knowin my 4.9 did the job jst goes to show you how much low end power these trucks really have. should have gone with the 4.9 to start with.

I think you get the max torque around 2000 rpms, correct me if I am wrong. 300 straight 6 will pull a house down.
Let me tell yall I story, I know a guy from work that had a guy pulling a trailer-boat out of the water. Well, anyway he couldn't do it. Soooooo, they put blocks on the tires of the trailer-boat and moved the Chevy 350 truck out of the way and my guy got his a 1993 ( I think it was 93) F-150 300 Straight 6 4.9L and he pulled the boat right out.
When that chevy started pulling the trailer, it just kept spinning the tires. But when that Big O' 6 cylinder came in, it pulled it right out with no problem.
Just showing what Ford Big 6 cylinder can do...

From: Muskegon, MI (home)
I have a lil story too... might as well throw it in. I was on my way home from work one afternoon when the GF called me and asked me if I was close to home yet (which I wasn't). It turns out a guy who was delivering firewood had gotten his truck stuck in some soft sand in the backyard. I was driving the Jimmy at the time and figured I could get him with that, as I had used it before for pulling fullsize pickups out before. When I got there and saw what was stuck I drove home and grabbed my 84 (read below), this guy had a 2 ton Chevrolet dump truck with 2 cord in the back buried right to the rear end. I got back over there and hooked up my 4" towstrap to the pintle hitch on the Chevy and to the clevis hook on my Ford. The guy in the dump was completely sure my truck couldn't move him. I locked the hubs, put it in low range/ creeper... walked my foot off the clutch until the strap was tight. He put the dump in reverse, I took my foot off the clutch and popped him right out of there without slipping a tire! 300 six+ NP435+ 4.10 gears+ locked rr+ LS ft+ 33" mudders= an anything pulling machine. I have heard people compare this truck to a tractor!
