Because sometimes the temps drop below 60 and I'm a big sissy. I'll drive around with the windows down part way when it's 100 deg outside, but I hate the cold.

well we know how that would turn out lol. there would already be 100 v10 owners telling us about how it is the best engine ever built and how no diesel in the world can pull with one. that they LOVE turning 5k rpm going up hills because their truck doesnt mind it at all. been there, done that, so i stay out of the superduty section when i can, even though i do own one. although i must admit that it is fun to stir them up from time to time lol.

who has to switch to t-shirts when it hits a balmy 45 deg? I just roll all 4 windows down and it cools off to 100 pretty quick.

I only use my air conditioner when it's raining, my wife is with me, or if I'm on the cell phone. I'll take 100 deg over 55 deg any day. You two should have seen me and Barry installing his shift kit when it was 58 outside. We were in coats and spent half the time standing in front of the propane heater.

in the gas engines the zf5 and the zf6 low gear are almost identical, the difference is the diesel. there is a decent sized difference in the diesel zf5 and the zf6, but to be honest with you i think the low in the zf6 is way too low for a diesel. especially for those of us with 4.10's. so it would pretty much be a useless gear. my 7.3 does great with the 5 speed, but the 6 speed would definitely help my 5.4. its like i have low, 1st and a half, 2nd and a half, 4th and then 5th. too wide of a ratio between 3rd and 4th. so its either about wound out in 3rd or lugging in 4th.
Even in a PSD.
The ZF5's first gear in a gasser was way to tall IMO.
First is useless unless hauling.
I imagine that 4.11's and zf6 Low is crazy though.
ZF5 has a .72 final drive. or .71 somewhere in there.
I'm not sure what the ZF6 runs.
