Added power and the TorqueShift tranny. BIG difference. I do have a $300 DiabloSport programmer, intake and exhaust, that's it. I run my programmer at the "middle" tow/perfomance 91 octane setting. I have never had it on a dyno but plan to in the near future. It has 91,150 miles on it with never a hickup. It tows my 10k 30' Airstream easily. Of all the Ford pickups I have owned, '83 6.9, '97 7.3, '02 7.3, it is the best truck of them all, in every way, power, especially dependability, low maintenance and never fails.

On top of that and the much better tranny the 05+ has either 4.10s or 4.30s where most 2v's came with 3.73s.

Who ever said 6.0s are easy to beat towing with v10 hasn't tried it. If yall watched the videos of the hill runs the 6.0 does just as well as the 6.4. I'm thinking the 6.0 had the faster accelaration starting out just a a couple mph difference. These are things I see everyday in the fields and on the hills. I'm not bosting and saying I'll run off and leave you. I'm saying I'll count coupe on you. And do it all day long. I garentee you I'll do it hauling a heavier load. Another advantage to a psd is a 1000 lbs here and there doesn't make much differences. I always haul more. I hate reps. I perfur high weigh low reps.

If your talking same yrs 00-03 6.8 & 7.3 no you will not. Yall will pull very close to the same. Its going to come down to human input that's going to make the split.

Want one of my old "paper weight" 6.0L blocks? They are (or were) at Tucson Ford, there is three of them total and have under 18k each on them. Not a tune installed ever.

This is about 2011 models, so not directly related to original dispute, but would that make you wonder how diesels really compare to gassers in Ford engineer mind....

I dont believe your account. I'd believe you had troubles but come on now. 3 engines failing with in 18k. Dude nobody is ever going to buy that. The odds of just 1 failing that fast is off the chart. 3? why dont you just quit with the fairy tales? On top of this story you claim to have other problems that didnt require a new engine. Please......

Thats debatable; or wait, that's what we have been debating for the last 12,000 pages 
I still may get a chance to pull against a v10 one of these days, maybe then this thing would be put to bed; I doubt it though
