Yep sounds just like my D3LGP Little more clunk clunk clunk...
Like I said 7.3's are good 6.0 & 6.4 suck, good till they blow up.
Turbo's spool up & down plowing snow = bad for turbo = tires spin when it kicks in.

My V10 is stock, 2v non PI. 3.73s and 4R100. I have towed up to 18,000 gross.
It is lacking on the low end, and with these gears I can not get the revs up to peak HP tell about 35mph. Once I have gotten up to that speed, I can keep up with traffic easily.
I tow 2-4 times a weak, most loads about 15k gross.
I have driven a 7.3, 2 V10s and a 5.4. All 98 or 99.
The 5.4 with an empty trailer was pathetic.
The 7.3 has a lot more at low rpm, but the V10 in the right rpm range pulls much harder.

Joe, Am in the dfw area too...
Already asked and offered MANY times - but no takers
Wonder why ?
And love the cat footage - worried it was going to tip over there for a sec ! ! !
Wasn't sure how far they could lean safely.....
Witnessed a crane tip over at a construction site once.... BIG operator error there...
glad I was on the "correct" side !

You need a 05- V10 to compare to.

I should make it " My V10 will out pull your stock 7.3 PSD any day of the week".
but I like it the way it is.

when i talk HP, I am talking about flywheel.
I have seen rear wheel dyno numbers for the first (97-99) V10s, they are about 198-204 RWHP depending on the truck and dyno.

i run then for a living. they will slide before they tip usually. and you can get them to stay sideways on about a 50* to 60* degree slop depending on the dirt.
