Okay this is the last warning on this. I've cleaned the thread and we're going to keep it on topic. If you want to discuss speed enforcement, radar, etc., start another thread on it in the appropriate forum. This thread has been beneficial to both sides of the argument so let's keep it open.

Huh? I don't understand. Are you saying its better pulling wise to run 1000 rpm under "peak" at WOT? If you are what's your thinking on that? @ 3300-3600 rpm I don't see myself struggling. I don't know what the grade is between pigion forge and gatlinburge but I can pull it at speedlimit and and room to accel. I drive under the limit. Why I keep saying that stretch of road is cause its the curvest and steep incline I can think of that anybody would prolly know on here.

My PSD in the "shoebox" I am driving can give me 14 mpg at 65mph. One time I drove it at 75mph and the mpg dropped below 10 (had a load on the bed, so this is not quite fair comparison, but gives an idea).
That is over 30% difference in fuel consumption just for the extra 10 mph.

As a reminder to all, the PSD in every form other than the 7.3 and 6.0 is superior to all other motors. The 7.3 and 6.0 is specifically superior to the V10 of various displacements. That is all.

Neither am I. If you have a problem with moderators, take it up with an admin.
Like said above, Ford's marketing target numbers are around 14% for the V10's back when the 2-valvers were being sold.
Because of that, many people are pushed to PSDs by dealers.
If anyone has actual numbers of units sold by year, I would be very interested in that information.
