No PSD ever saved my life.
But yesterday my V10 crew cab dually 4X4 did. Pulling a jeep on a car dolly, front wheels down cause the back was wrecked and after 100 miles of uneventful driving all of a sudden the jeep went nuts. At one point it was so sideways that I could see the taillight. Up on two wheels, you name it. My big gasser didn't even hardly squirm. Slowed to a stop, checked everything, no damage except the tail light on the Dolly. Got my adrenalin level down and finished the drive home. If I had been in a lesser truck I might be dead now.

BS. You're one of the ones who incessantly talks about how much faster a V10 is. They're not fast, so now you try to say ALL trucks are slow...FAIL.
However, since you said it, SHOW ME where I EVER mentioned racing my PSD from light to light. You CAN'T, because I NEVER did. Now you're ascribing traits to me that aren't there, which constitutes slander at the extreme, but since it's an Internet forum it just makes you a TROLL in my book.

LOL.. as already mentioned you "mauled" a V10 just an hour ago. And this after you mention how much faster your truck is than basically all gas powered truck.
You show me where I say my V10 is faster than a PSD, I dare you. I do say they can pull as much as a compariable PSD truck, and that is a FACT directly from Ford. Look up it on Ford's towing capacity charts.
I actually think the PSD is better engine with one exception, price. I just could not see a reason to pay $7,000 more for an engine that I will never utilize.
I'm glad you like your PSD, glad you've had good luck with it. Just don't go around calling other people's truck a piece of junk because they didn't want to go spend $7,000 on an option they didn't need.
And honestly, a troll LMAO. You made an actual remark that your truck rides better because it has a PSD... Then go on to say how your PSD is faster than all gassers... and I'm the troll? Well, at least your funny.

It could be taken that way, but at the end of the day his opinion of my truck or me means very little. I don't think there is anyone following the thread that would really take him seriously anymore.
I mean, I sat there and wrote some long posts about why diesel is superior to gas for towing, then he claims I'm a gasser's are the only way guy...
The whole truck rides better because it's PSD was more than comical to me and showed exactly how biased his opinion was.
As for the mod's, they are doing a good job IMO, I used to be a mod for many years at various auto forums, sometimes just letting people burn out is the easiest way. Sometime banning and editing just makes them worse, just make sure it is a clean argument and all is well

as someone mentioned earlier he is one of those guys that loves what he owns now and everything else on the road is inferior including his past vehicles. has no clue about anything just thinks hes cool cuz he has a new f350. probably couldnt change his oil on his own if he had too.......for that matter probably doesnt know how to check the oil.

Funny comments about truck speeds.
I drive my F450 at 65 mph for fuel savings. But being comfortable in big cabin and with cooler under my arm I don't stop very often and can make 500 miles trip in slightly above 8 hr.
On last such a trip a fast sedan with surf board on the roof catch my attention. He passed me 3 times
.
Bet he was at pit stop when I left the freeway.

Let's all forget the "troll" comments now, I think we're getting too close to the "line" here.
Let's get back to debating

Well well, isn't this nice. I go to Denver for a week and my 16 year old kid decides to get in a flame war. Sorry guys. Hopefully he wasn't playing on the other forum too. My last post was #4583. I stay logged in using the remember me boxes.
