Ok, so then the PCM defuels them to hold the EGTs down.
Right?
Yes, exactly it "defuels" as opposed to "dropping rpms." Which is why the vast majority of head gasket issues are on programmed diesels, which takes of that restriction. I have seen my 6.0 at 1,500 degrees several times for a couple seconds.
My point is really on diesels, especially newer ones with egr and dpf, fuel is the cause of the heat, not rpms.
But you said a V10 could run at WOT all day...You didn't say it could only do it if the engine was new, with fresh oil, a strong wind at its back, and the sun at 33-degrees on the 4th day of September...Then you went out there and blew one up in 30 seconds.
Then you try to explain it away that "The RPM's weren't the problem"....Of course not...And if you'd thrown a rod, you would be saying "But the gaping hole in the side of the block's not the problem"...it was the stuck t-stat or some other lunacy. The RPM's WERE the problem...The oil pump apparently couldn't keep up with THE HIGH RPMS!
The RPMs DID NOT KILL IT.
Do you not unstand the way Ford tested them?

The limiter will let it run 5,000. These engines will run 5,000 with no problem at all.

And when you defuel, you lose power. Then the V10 can outpull you by that much more.
Now, your telling me that it was the design of the engine and I am just making excuses?
Those pics were taken by him, then you bought the engine without ever looking at the oil pickup screen? Then tried to run it at 5k for 20 minutes? Regardless, pull your other one out and run it for 20 minutes at WOT like you brag it's capable of doing. You don't need a tach for that...What's the matter? Skeered?

I put a new pick up screen in.
That was 2,000 miles ago, it must have re-pluged with sludge.
I will post pics when I get it apart.

I am not going to run 5,000 RPM for 20 minutes just becuase I can.
I'll do it for a minute or two, but it will not be 5K.
The older V10 has peak HP at a lower RPM. I will run it at 4600 or so.
If you think I'm backpedling and backing out, I'm not.
I will run the newer one at 5K as soon as Its fixed.

Do you really think that I can't pull a grade at WOT without killing the truck?
If the V10 was as weak as you claim, I would drive a powerstroke.

Yup you do lose some power, but show me one test where the v10 outpulled the psd as a result.

So Bill, you are backing off your claim that "a v10 can run at 5k for 20 minutes, fully loaded " in my mind 4,600 is equivalent. Run it for 20 minutes!

No, I am not backing off that claim. They will run that RPM for days on end.
I am not going to run 5,000 RPM for 20 minutes just becuase I can. No, of course not...You tried it for $20.00...You're EASY.

Looks pretty weak blowing up in 30 seconds...just sayin'...I doubt it was sludge...I bet it was that the oil pump couldn't keep up and you ruined the mains. But, go ahead and fix it and do it again...There's a $20.00 prize there for $2500.00 in repairs every time you want to try it

Still waiting on a yes or no.
Do you understand the way Ford tested them?
Well, I made a vidoe. Its uploading now. Hit 5500 RPMs at one point.
Ok, so then the PCM defuels them to hold the EGTs down.
Right?
I can only speak for the 7.3....no 7.3s have a stock pyro/egt sensor, the only thing that will make a 7.3 defuel is an over boost situation which is possible with a stock truck.

The 6.0 doesn't have a stock pyro either, but when mine was stock, my pyro seemed to hit 1,200 and never go over, no matter how hard I pushed it. After the programmer, I could get it up to 1,500.
And running 1,200 degrees for 20 minutes is no problem, I have done it many times.
