Whatda ya drive, a 1970's/80's Mack garbage truck??? heck, even my '89 E350 cube van with it's old IDI 7.3 does'nt act like your describing, much less the newer oil burners. The newer diesels are every bit as quite as the gassers with the newer tech in them...cept tjhe Cummins, and even they've come a loooong ways. Ford puts a Cummins in their truck, Chebbie would be doomed, but we all know that never going to happen despite rumors. Can you imagine a REAL pick up with a REAL drivetrain..would'nt it be cool

 

i heard a rumor idk if its true,but i hear ford is putting cummins in there bigger truck like f450 and up

 

The Cummins (or at least, A Cummins) is available in the F650 and up range.

IHI, you've already stated your opinion.

People come back and reply.

Keep on posting, it's just funny, that's all.

Gee, I would NEVER work a "heavy-duty truck engine" the way it's supposed to be worked.

Gas, OR diesel.

Want to find some posers? Go post in the 6.0 (or better yet, the 6.4) diesel forums here on this site.

I think, of the 14% of Superduty's that the V10 is installed in, we have a higher ratio of people actually USING the full potential.

 

That's not true, especially if you meant to write quiet.

 

I have had towing experiences with my fathers 6.0 diesel, and my 01 V10. Both are F250's my truck is an extended cab, my father's truck is a reg cab. I went to kansas to pick up my rock crawler. I used his 6.0 diesel, it felt slow and sluggish. It would bog down going up hills. Even after driving his 6.0 diesel, I still went with the V10. I towed the same load going the same way and my V10 to me towed better. It felt more stable,and would get up and go. The gas mileage was only around 9 mpg. but I only tow 1-2 a month, that is a 18ft car trailer with a 5klb cherokee. If my truck ever does let me down, I can always load it on the trailer and use my cherokee to pull it wherever.

(I run 2.5t rockwell axles on 42's the stock 4.0 will pull it. not fast since I am geared low but it will pull it)

 

interesting opinions here.....

 

Have to slightly disagree. I have both(see siggy) and I can say you wouldn't notice the difference in sound at any speed above 40MPH. And below those speeds, especially at idle, it's close.

There's benefits to both, but for my needs the 6.7 way out pulls the V10 and the V10 has 4.30 gears, the diesel, 3.55-ish(can't remember exactly).

 

This is a super old thread, but i'll join in. I think it's completely situation personally. I have a 2009 F350 V10 w/ 4.1 gears, and it works great for me. But I also have a work vehicle and this truck see's maybe 1,000 miles during the winter, and maybe 3,000 in the summer. So I needed a truck that can sit. If I was planning on towing over 12k and driving it daily I would be looking for a Diesel.

 

Facepalm, didn't realize the 6.7 didn't exist when the OP posted...ugh
