The 6.4 "winning" was and still is in doubt in the minds of SEVERAL of the V10 owners...Especially Phillips91 who just last week was talking about the 6.4 taking forever to get from 30-35, while the V10 was gaining on it. I saw something totally different... I saw the V10 slowing down and downshifting when it hit the second hill, and the 6.4 pulling away.

 

The 09-10 SRW's come with 3.55 or 3.31...3.73 was 08...

 

That's what the catalytic converter is for. The last time I got my V10 tested, it shows 0.0ppm CO. So little it can't be read by the emissions testers. Particulates and NOx emissions are not exactly a great thing for your kid's lungs.

Using that reasoning, I want me a Toyota.

Tell that to Ford, next time you fill up your PSD under warranty with veggie-oil, kerosene, heating fuel oil, or anything else.

You're forgetting about scrap prices. The extra 500 lbs of cast-iron/steel is actually worth, what, $50-100 depending...

Nah, you're imagining things.

I dare anyone to measure their alternator output with an Amprobe while idling. Come on, DO IT Then figure out how much HP you're losing to the alternator.

Which is why, when cleaning heavily greased-up parts, I use KEROSENE. Diesel fuel works just as well. But I can't stand the smell of either one after having driven diesels for years for work.

Hmm... who can make vegetable oil from raw materials in their backyard? Come on, show me your presses! And the acres of soy beans


What's even better with the urea system is the wonderful smell of ammonia. Or something.

 

I am having fun. It's funny watching you guys with gas engines to try to come up with any excuse or your opinions on why a gas engine is just as good as a diesel when it comes to towing. We all know the diesel wins hand down when it comes to empty weight. It's faster especially when you mod one, gets better gas mileage and it rides better.

 

Watching my video and Tom's 6.4L video with Tom towing 2000lbs LESS than me, my truck gets to 30 mph in 9 seconds,and 35 mph in 11 seconds. Tom's truck did it in 8 and 10 seconds, respectively.

Well remember this was not a test of a 3V V10. It was an older design (2V) that was saddled with an older transmission (4R100). You seem to keep over looking these facts. Comparing my old engine and truck to the new engine and truck is not entirely fair. I would certainly expect the 6.4 to do better in this case. Compare a 3V V10 with the same transmission as the 6.4 then I think it would be much closer or the same.
Also I think with the new tune from 5 Star to allow the TC to stay unlocked longer my old V10 would have been real close.

 

But that's cheating!

 

The v-10 needs all the help it can get.

 

Yea, if your going to tune it to pull the hill faster than stock than the 7.3 has to be allowed to do the same thing...

 

Your comparing the PI 2V v10 with a 6.4. Thats like a 7.3 vs an 05+ V10.
Need to compare 6.0 and 6.4 to the 3V.
Not really. My stock 275 HP non PI 2v V10 with 3.73s and 4R100 pulls at 25,000 GCW and keeps up with traffic leaving lights and pulling hills just fine.

 

It might do it fine for you but for others it would be struggling.

 

And thats why Ford made the PI heads with 310 HP for 00, and then the 3V heads which have 362HP for 05.

 

And his is STOCK...You lose. But how could that possibly be since you make more hp?

 

He was on an incline with 2,000 lbs more than Tom.

 

I'm still waiting for Bill to explain how the 6.4 walked away from the V10 on the video, and even had to slow down to take a corner since the V10 makes more hp...Even if it was the older one, the V10 ain't gonna' be making up that lost ground. Or, I'm waiting on Phillips to pull his calculator and explain it all away with numbers...
