Wow my take on this pretty close...



Looks like the Turbo makes the difference. Now if the V10 had a SC or a turbo????

10% to the PSD if you can stand the racket of the coal burner... The PSD guys get a kick out of all the noise & black smoke I guess, We got our V10 for the reliability love the idea of a supercharger tho, anyone have???

 

Racket? Have you ever driven a 6.4? Nice 'n quiet.

And BTW they don't burn coal. Won't fit through the fuel filters...

 

Oh I forgot the coal just comes out un-burned via twin stacks.

The 6.4 is quiet, but you still have to turn it off @ the jobsite when you pull up to talk to the guys. The V10 is silent & you can keep it running & AC on, When you are in a PSD it sounds like a cement truck idling.

I would love to have a PSD, but now it looks like a Cummins seems to be in order,

How hard is it to change over to a Cummins, After all this I say the Cummins common rail is the clear winner

Here it is all summed up my 2c...

Triton V10 70%

PSD 7.3 80%

PSD 6.0 = 6.3 too much trouble

All hail the Mighty Cummins = Best Truck Diesel Engine by far... 200%

I hate Dodge Trucks why would for not replace the PowerJoke with Inline power???

Looks like the Cummins FTW

The real winner is a Ford Truck with an Inline Cummins =300%

Again, I am not arguing that. Just by taking a look at Banks website made me jealous of a 7.3. Diesels coupled with boost will always make power easier. Same goes for gassers with boost. It's easier to do.

But for someone just to say a "yeah my modded 7.3L will rape your stock V10" is ridiculous. Generally, when you start talking mods, the argument goes to crap, just because of the variety of things you can do.

 

Cummins is awesome, and dead reliable! I wish Ford would start sourcing those for the 250 - 550, then there would be no argument at all.

 

Really?

The OP had 5 problems severe enough to render it undriveable.

Another poster had his truck bought back under the lemon law.

These aren't the tried-and-true engines that were commonplace in the '90s. All diesels now have enough emissions equipment to cause problems. Certainly NOT "dead reliable".

 

Dead reliable withholding the 6.7Ls.

 

The cummins have had their issues even with the 5.9's. I just had a guy on a jobsite last week with a 04 dodge that had 130k on it. He said it was the biggest POS he has ever had. I said the pickup or the motor? he said both, and then listed the issues. The cummins can be built to run much cheaper than a psd thus the reason they are popular with the racing and pulling guys.

Come to think of it, where are the vids of a v10 pulling or racing????

 

That would be the best bet. Now after all this I need a Cummins what is the best range of years to look for...

They look nice & simple.

We looked at the 6.0 PSD when it blew up & told the guy to take it to the dealer What an emission nightmare.



Look at it Holy Serp. Batman!

Now Bill I bet you cant out pull a Cummins I woul like a 6 speed on my V10 tho...

There are not many modded V10's there are a bunch of reliable stock ones tho...Gotta mod a 7.3 to compete.






7.3 L IDI Ford Diesel

7.3 L IDI Ford DieselBy increasing the bore of the 6.9 L to 4.11 inches, the 7.3 L IDI was born. It replaced the 6.9 L in 1988. Like its predeccesor, the 7.3 L was naturally aspirated, indirect injected. In 1993, a turbocharged version of the IDI was introduced, but short-lived since the IDI was replaced mid-1994 by the 7.3 L Power Stroke. The 7.3 L Power Stroke was turbocharged, direct injected, and featured computer controlled engine & injection management.

Reputation: Reliable, later became 7.3 Power Stroke
Additional 7.3 L IDI Information:

* Though the 7.3 L IDI and 7.3 L DI Power Stroke share the same displacement, the engines are ultimately very different:

* Ford introduced the turbochared 7.3 IDI in 1993 to stay competitive with GM's turbocharged 6.5 L & Dodge's turbocharged 5.9 L diesel powerplants.
* The 7.3 L IDI had very respectable performance for being a naturally aspirated diesel engine.
* Ford's 6.9 L & 7.3 L IDI diesels proved extremely reliable powerplants during their 12 years of production, setting high standards for future designs by all manufacturers.
* Though a stock 7.3 L IDI seems lacking in performance, rumors exist of one enthusiast pumping 1,200 horsepower out of his IDI, using extensive modifications, proving the overall capability of these trucks.
* Aftermarket solutions have long existed that can transform a non-turbo IDI into a turbocharged, intercooled truck, boosting performance dramatically.

I hate to tell you this pal, but that ain't no 6.0.

http://dan.prxy.org/Truck/6L_bible_h.../Page_009.html

 

Company I work for has an old 90 7.3. Actually was pretty reliable for the longest time, I think it went for over 200,000 miles of pretty much pure abuse and neglect and only recently has started crapping out, but because of the transmission, not the engine.

 

Dam Google Is it a PSD? They all look the same to me...


6.7 in 2011 Thought Ford gave up on PSD's is that the new in-house built engine?

This does look bad azz tho..


This one needs Diesel power.




Ford is still going with Power Stroke name plate?

 

Yes on both counts

 

LOL at the stack of pancakes.

 

I just caught up on this thread. "WHEW".

The Supercharged V10 sounded good. Are there any video's of it "performing"?

I have not seen any video's of the V10 in any competion. How come?

I have been in a V10 pulling a 20 foot flat car trailer loaded with quads up a small grade on the way to Coos Bay Oregon when it was beat by a 97 F350 PSD that is completely stock. Both trucks belong to friends of mine.

Both trucks were towing similar loads.

Here is the PSD


I do not have any pictures of the V10. It is a 2000.
