Ohhhh...I didn't realize you have the extra-suck one...Sorry...

 

You could say that.

 

Shouldn't you change your sig then. That my V-10 will out pull any psd of my age of truck.

 

lol...so true...and even then it's a lie.

 

Than why do you continue to talk as if you have?

My fan comes on pretty loud too - I guess a loud fan means your truck is better than mine?



This, coming from another person who have never driven (or at the very least OWNED) a V10.

Never got it, never will. It's all the confusing diagrams and math, darn it.

 

Cause then the psd has to have 3.73's and the v-10 has to have 4.30's. LMAO some of these guys on here are so pathetic.

 

Don't need to punish myself again by buying and wasting my money on another super duty with a gas engine. Unlike you guys I learn from my mistakes.

 

I think that is exactly what I have been trying to say.....

It takes all of 5 minutes to do the post and come up with all of the numbers. My math says the diesel will jump out ahead and then once it shifts it will level off the v10 will pass it. Driving my psd and my 5.4 tells me the diesel will jump out ahead but once it shifts my 5.4 will pass it. Then a test done by a magazine shows the same thing. What's funny is even after all of that you still don't believe it.

With 460 in your name and saying that you all have a fleet of diesels, I can only assume you drove the 5.4 like you would a diesel or a 460. I was just chatting with another guy that has a 6.0 and a 5.4 the other day and he said his 5.4 had never seen 3,000 rpms because he was afraid he might blow something up. That is the typical attitude from someone that is used to driving a diesel or a big block. They think 3,000 rpms is going to leave parts laying all over the road. Ill be more than happy to drive anyone around that wants to see how one tows when you aren't afraid to get it above idle.

A 700' long 15% grade is rather common around here. The road leaving my house is a 900' long 23% grade. If you had been paying attention to our debate up to this point we (v10 side) have all been saying that with 3.73 gearing the psd will walk all over the v10 all day in a shootout and that each one needs gearing that best suits the engine. The psd beat it to the top of the hill time wise, but the v10 was still gaining speed and the psd had pretty much leveled off. Give them another couple hundred feet and the v10 would be there first time wise and at a higher speed.

 

I have a conspiracy theory to offer.... I think jac08f250 was given a free sample of "the diesel" and he got addicted to it.

I mean, it wasn't that long ago that he was happy with a lowly 5.4L, much less a V10....

Maybe its time for an intervention

 

This is uncalled for. Do us all a favor, and if you have nothing technical to add to this thread, unsubscribe.

That goes for everyone else here too.

 

I agree, I'm on my way to unsub to this, it's gotten waaaay outta hand

 

Yeah and at that time the biggest truck I drove was a s-10. So that truck was a great truck plus when I did that towing I had 500 miles on it. So I didn't know how a real truck pull a load like that until I got my psd. Trust me after driving my truck now and that one that one felt like a real dog and I will never go back to a gas super duty. Plus how pathetic are you looking up old post I made. Loser.

 

What are you talking about no one in here is adding anything technical. I mean people are posting diagrams of two different setup in a truck. Match a psd and a v-10 in the same setup and then post a diagram. I mean you guys are comparing apples to oranges. So if other people are going to post BS so am I.

 

In keeping with the technical aspect:

Now, just think what would have happened with another 20-25% more torque, with a flatter torque curve.

The 2008 V10 put out 462ft/lbs of torque, with about 80% of it available right off-idle, and even more at the stall speed of the torque converter.

What does the 5.4 put out, 365? That's 26% more torque for the V10.

If you haven't driven one, you really can't say they are worthless

 

Heh heh... well, at least the words I put in your mouth really were yours.

And, for the record, it was less than 5 months ago you typed that.
