What is the fuel milage like on the dodge V10?

You need an 05-10 Ford V10 to out pull the 6.0.

 

i thought when all them stinker drivers had to go get service this thred would die off

 

Bill - I see about 8-9 around town and have seen no higher than 13 on the highway unloaded. It just rolled 160k and has been a great truck, I just prefer my Super Duty. Call me crazy but you just can't beat the sound of a diesel. I really do not need a diesel, but I want one.

 

Stinker diesel? I wouldn't know. The smell is behind me. Sorry to inconvenience you.

I will try not to offend you with the smoke as I go by.

 

thats ok I will be standing at the pumps watching

 

ROFL! That was funny. Reps sent.

 

Honestly, I just think it depends on what you are looking for in a truck, I have a PSD, and I love it, but I payed for the power and the life of my truck up front. If you want the power, maybe you don't want to spend the cash to get it.

 

POWER, NEED MORE POWER.

That is the motto of the week.

Welcome to FTE Ripped350.

 

My exhaust smells kind of like a propane BBQ grill. My wife even says she misses the diesel smell when she's driving her SUV (she's definitely a keeper ). My dad has a D-Max ('06 LBZ) and it has a real harsh smell to it.

 

haha, 220 pages now... this is great!

 

I looked at the 6.0's and the 6.4's when I was looking to buy this last time... I even (not proud) looked at the Dmax and test drove a Cummins to see the diff. I obviously pulled out of the Diesels altogether when I went with the big gasser... but I feel as though I couldnt be happier that I did. I know that there are many that stand by the stock smokers and have never had an issue, I just cant see trusting that VVT to take me 1200 miles one way with the trailer and get me back without a $3000 - $5000 problem. I'd rather know upfront that Ill poor another $200 - $250 into the trip in fuel and get there and back without limping. My $0.02 doesnt mean a whole lot since this point (without looking Im sure) has been made in the previous 249 pages somewhere.
That said, I would love to have a diesel, I love the sound and I would love to be able to roll coal when I wanted... but the fact is that all the diesels since 2003 have undergone too many changes due to emissions and its far too tempting to mod them past the engineering. I really look forward to the Scorpion... I suspect that Ford is going to get this one right from mile 1 since their rep is on the line. They could blame navistar up until now, but going forward their butts are on the line. Ford has improved their passenger car lines dramatically, but I still think the bread is buttered by the truck sales and they cant afford to loose many of us.

 

i bought a 99.5 PSD and agree with that completely! only a completely arrogant narcissist (or someone completely unfamiliar with these trucks) would argue against the statement that an OBS HD with a 460 is a very stout truck in stock form, and with a full (banks, bassani, etc.) exhaust is even more impressive, and the only thing other than personal preference that can be held against it is the fuel economy. but i still like the sound, smell, and nature of my 7.3 diesel. i honestly wish i had one of each brand new in '97 to keep forever just to keep away from the new "technology" that i don't trust as much (although my dad's 5.4 F-150 has been just as good of a truck as every other ford half-ton he's owned). i'm honestly not nearly as impressed with the SDs compared to the OBS trucks, and i'm not as crazy about the mod motors as i am the pushrods. i fell in love with my first diesel pickup when i was 8 years old (1988 7.3 F250, ZF5R42, reg. cab... somewhat learned to drive on that one) but all the gassers we had since have been great trucks too. anyway, they're all good trucks, just personal preference. again, just going by out-of-the-box performance, there's really no wrong answer unless someone just wants to argue.

and that sums it up about right, which is why my 7.3 will be maintained and kept as long as possible, because it will probably be my last diesel. anyway, from one newbie to the rest, welcome aboard; you'll love it here!

 

Well, I found something the 6.4 can do way better than any V10. lol

YouTube - F350 injectors stuck open

 

Yea it does. LOL

 

Why thank you, sir.
