If it died now what would we do

I don't think it will ever die, there will never be a general agreement on it.

Still, diesel is better

 

I think that is the agreement but the v10 guys don't want to accept it.

 

Agreed

 

So true!!! haha. Notice how many v10s showed up at the Ohio pulloff? 1??? LOL

We could have every psd outpull evey v10 and there would still be an excuse. LOL

 

Yes, it does. Neither gravity nor air, the things trying to keep you from moving, care at all how much torque your engine makes. The only thing that matters is how much force makes it through your drivetrain to the ground. Given the maximum rpm your engine can turn, you will have to shift to 3rd gear before an automatic V10 would shift out of 1st. At that point, the gearing will be multiplying your torque by 1.61, while the V10's is multiplied by 3.09. Your advantage of 70% more torque has now changed into a 10% disadvantage (using your torque numbers and assuming 4.10 rears for both trucks). The force to the ground advantage will keep shifting as both trucks go the gears, and your truck would end up on top due to the horsepower advantage, but this illustrates my point.

Just out of curiosity, you didn't read the link I posted a few pages back, did you?

I am interested in facts not the stupid cartoons and one liners. I am thinking about dumping this 6.0 for a V-10 because Ford put a junk motor in the trucks that has major head gasket problems turbo problems oil cooler problems egr problems and I am sick of this motor.
I like my f350 better than any truck out there but Ford has not offered a diesel as good as the old 7.3 diesel.

 

wow this thread is endless . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


PSD is better!

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I got rid of mine after 18 months, it sure did rip, I will tell you that. Mine was done right, I was just freaked out wondering when it was going to go. My decision was to go to the Duramax, but part of that was because my wife, she hates how the Ford drives.

But I did not go to a v10 for several reasons. I tow at elevation and my father in law had a v10 and towing where we tow, it frustrated him even towing his puny 6k fifth wheel. Also, the v10 would only get 6 or so mph towing what I tow at my speed, where my diesel gets 9 or so. What that means, is signficantly better fuel range, so I don't have to stop every 100 miles for fuel because there is no gas station close to the 180 mile range. Not that I am ******* the v10, but those are facts and why I did what I did.

The Duramax I am not totally impressed with, especially the unloaded performance. The 6.0 was way faster off the line and more fun to drive. But towing, it gets the about the same mpg as my built, programmed 6.0 and I don't have to worry about coolant loss, or anything else by working it hard.

So, those are my thoughts. There are people that are going to bash my comment about frustrating towing on the v10, but to each their own, I don't like pushing 5k rpms for 20 minutes up a mountain pass.

 

No, I would give up at that point.

 

WELL ????
??

 

That has not happend.

You know I'm still waiting on that 0-100 video?

 

Stupid comments like these are what cause us to continue to debate a dead horse.

It's "better" FOR YOU.

For me, it's NOT better, no way, no how, and the same goes for lots of other people.

Based on the comments in this thread, I can immediately see who can "walk in another man's shoes" and who can not.
