don't even!
Don't even try to haul a heavy load with the Chevy. Have any of you seen what happens to the front wheels when the tongue weight gets heavy. They start to go like this \-/ when looking at it from the front. The truck is not made for hard work.

That's just what I see up here in Canada

How many Duracrapers are being run in the Craftsman series? None. How many powerstrokes are being run? Several. mmmm.

I feel like I am talking to stones in my driveway. Ya banks is just about race ready on a powerstroke.....I mean duramax.The last time I saw IFS like ( \-/ ), was at the truck pulls, and we beat a Ford by 60 feet.
If the front is actually like that towing, you are towing way to heavy or the torsion bars are cranked way too high, or both.
The last time I saw a truck stuck, it was stuck because it was stuck, not because it was setting on the frame. In fact, the last tractor I saw stuck was stuck before it got to the frame too.
For the tow guys.

I don't see a 20k. If you want to talk 450/4500 class, go look them up. We'll compare notes.
BTW on a 500hp tune, if your 500hp is useable, you will use it. If it is at such a high rpm that it isn't useable towing, then you aren't towing with a 500hp tune. Either you are or your not, report back to me when you can tune your truck by yourself.

i love reading these threads, lol everyone knows that the duramax outperforms the 6l as a powerplant, but i think the 6.4 is a whole new monster, and we are excited about the commonrail. dodge and chevy know what it can do, ford is in the preliminaries and an over 500 hp tune is making our heads explode!

Fred, Mizer, no problem, you want some reality, well the reality is this. Slumburger, Haliburton, Key Energy Services, Thereal Story Drilling, Caterpillar, Patterson Drilling, C.C. Forbes, El Paso Corporation, Gulf South Pipeline, CenterPoint Energy, and about 10 others that I cannot think of all use Ford trucks. Most are diesels, better than 60% are now 6.0L. Nobody up here uses Chevys, cause they will not hold up to the oilfiled road abuse. Dodges are more common in Hot Shot services. However there are more Fords then GM's in that sector as well.
