I was watching that show pretty frequently and I thought it was cool that the TIV as they call it is actully a 97 or older body style 7.3 F450 with a ZF5speed I guess they did want to be broke down and use a truck with 6.0 LOL it was a joke for anyone whos gonna be all bent out of shape. Anyways I thought id post that

 

There is a member here who is a storm chaser. His name is Storm and his truck is a 6.0. It's pretty trick.

 

I do watch that, I saw the TIV kinda being built and claim it has 400 horspower it may be way modded or possibly not the 7.3 I am not sure it seems pretty bad ***

 

ever watch the show ice roads up in alaska?? all the rescue rigs are 99-03 PSD's..i see one show a PSD pulled a big truck out from under a wrecked loaded trailer..and the tractor had a broken axel and flat tires on the back of it...

 

Yeah i have seen that too, I wonder what a diesel is like in sub zero weather?

 

im 30 to 50 bellow for about a month up here..it just takes longer to warm up...i never had a problem,,i use diesel kleen every tank and change fuel filter every 5000 miles..

 

40 to 50 below, Crazy!

 

40 to 50 bellow means time to hibranate. Plus I do watch ice road truckers. Cann't wait for it to come back on.

 

Mt Washington (8 miles down the road) has the coldest and highest winds..

Being in North Texas, I've taken the chaser classes and have been on a couple (mostly uneventful) chases. Kind of lost interest with other stuff going on, but I do have some minor hail damage on my hood & roof as "proof"...

 

Ya I saw that 400 Horse power claim to I definately can say that truck dose have the 7.3 in it still when you hear it running it sounds just like one LOL maybe they took the 400 Ft Lb of torque that engine has and said its 400HP who knows I just thought it was interesting to see it was a Ford 7.3

 

Great show! Storm chaser & Ice road truckers. But you aint gonna get me drunk enough to drive through a tornado!

 

Yeah, very cool truck, but I read on discovery that they are replacing it with a Dodge RAM 3500 Tandem axel, not sure how that is going to work, but should be interesting. The older TIV will be used as a backup now

 

The only episode I watched, the truck thing didn't start one morning.

I was yelling at the TV for them to change the CPS, because the Tach wasn't moving, lol.

Gave up and changed the channel, don't know of they changed it or not.

 

chaser classes? were can you find info on that?
