Tom and I have both put our "money where our mouth is", and have found the trucks to be equals even when towing at close to their rated limits. All you've done is shown your blind allegiance to an engine.

1700 rpms is alot if you tow alot. If you tore down a psd that has towed 15k pounds for 200k miles and did the samething to a v-10 towing that much for 200k miles I bet the v-10 will have alot of wear and tear and damage of the engine. Plus how many more times would you have to fill up compare to the psd if you ran it 1700 rpm higher?

That's one big ASSumption. Strap the same load behind yours and pay to have a 4.10 put in it, then go do the run and PROVE IT.

I'm sure it's nothing like the psd cause I bet they would say something like they make a big deal out of the 250k mile testing of the psd.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 250k test was for the 6.7. Did Navistar do the same for 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4?

I know they did it to the 6.4 cause it said it in the booklet I picked up plus the video that came with the truck.

Navistar rated them for 50% to still run without over haul past 250K.

And actually hp has nothing to do to get the object that you are towing moving. So the psd will always have more tq then the v-10. So the psd will always get the object moving faster.

It might get it rolling faster, but the V10 will pull harder once gets to 15 MPH or so.

See just like LS1 guys. Thinking their motors are the best. I mean if the v-10 are so "badass" why doesn't ford produce more v-10's then psd? Oh I know why cause the psd will always be a better choice at towing, hauling, better mpg, and just overall better engine.
