Yes, but you have a 7.3. That statement was meant towards 6.4s, not all PSDs.

Disagree on loaded, I have ~ 100ft pounds of torque more than you? If your only talking speed, then yeah , you win.....Total weight I'm able to pull is higher than your V10.

If anything the 6.4L PSD will prove to be the WORST PSD made in the future. Not only is it plagued with bad MPG for a PSD (comparable to V10 mpg)(don't even try to lie with 18-20 mpg claims. We have two of these trucks in our fleet at work and they never ever get over 13 mpg unloaded), it was only a 2 year run meaning low production in comparison to other years. Good luck finding affordable parts when your "life saving" warranty runs out.

Brother you are wasting your time. It'll never sink in. They don't realize the role tq has in work. They lost in the gears blanketed by hp. Hey'll have us believe tq is just a conception for motor company to sell us trucks. I guess the forget that hp is the most advertised number in motor company ads. Who are we to know?

I can and will pull the same load faster than your 7.3, no matter what the test is. The only time you can pull harder than me is very high elevation.

3 years... 2008, 2009, 2010. Regardless, the worst PSD is still better than the best V10.

I like my 2010 F350 6.8 better than any of the diesels. If I had to own an older oil burner again it would be a late model 6.0.
My 7.3's were troublesome, noisy and crappy in the cold. The 6.0 blew them both away in terms of power and refinement. Plus the 6.0 had a much better transmission.

I dunno, I've had two 7.3's and one 6.0.

Buy one of each! That way you can argue both side with experience!
