(quoted from post at 22:36:58 12/10/13) That's why I'd buy the gas, cheaper to run/maintain
just did the same thing, a 2014 f350 XL 4x4 reg. cab with powerstroke lists at $41740.00 Chuck(quoted from post at 00:00:10 12/12/13) Just for fun the other night I got on ford.com and priced out a new Powerstroke. Nothin fancy. Cloth seats with some creature comforts.
$56,000!
I think I'll rebuild my ol' 7.3, thank you very much!

no, in the modern world there is such a thing as overdrive, try 2000 rpms, that being said i know a diesel will pull better, but my gasser can do anything i need it to and a heck of a lot cheaper than a diesel(quoted from post at 08:09:19 12/12/13) I would never want a 4.56:1 geared gasser over a 3.5:1 geared diesel.
Gassers can't outpull diesels no matter how stupid you are it wont do it.
Just look what you have to do to get the gasser to pull what a diesel would do. 4.56:1 gearing? What are you turning 4000rpm's on the highway. That motor will never ever last as long as a diesel.
Get the proper equipment. I cant stand guys like you who make things do what they shouldnt.
you probably have the old standard .75 to 1 overdrive, now a days the overdrives are around .50 to 1, trust me i drove a trailblazer with 4.56 gears and it turned 2 grand with a .57 overdrive gear, just cuase you have a steeper overdrive gear doesnt mean every one else does. its called the best of both worlds high gears for good acceleration and a mellow overdrive gear for good highway mpgs not only that i could have 5.13 gears and 46 inch tires and turn 2 grand worth of rpms at 110 mph, a smart person contemplates all the factors of engine rpm at speed before telling everyone else they are wrong because they have better gears for towing than you do and are still turning the same or lower rpms(quoted from post at 08:45:57 12/12/13) Your full of it and you know it. At 3.55:1 gearing in OVERDRIVE I turn 2000 rpms at 70.
(quoted from post at 22:38:21 12/12/13) 4:56 gears at 60mph is about 2000rpms and at 75 2500rpms,
to run 4500rpms I'm doing about 105-110mph, and a gas will
out pull a diesel if geared lower, and I can chip my gas also or
supercharge it and get over 150 hp and more than that in
torque and it still won't cost more than a diesel. If you take the
extra 7500 your spending on a diesel and stick 7500 in a hemi
it will out pull a diesel anyday
(quoted from post at 01:25:15 12/13/13) Alright next time I pull a big load I will send you one, don't pull
much in the winter, here's my buddy with his 1500 hemi pulling
just as much if you don't believe me.

In an unloaded truck, sure. Otherwise not. No gas engine will get the low rpm load moving torque that a diesel engine does.
Your arguement of gearing down a gasser to make it outpull a diesel is stupid.
Same truck, same GEARS you lose. Even remotely close gearing, you lose.
(quoted from post at 07:48:59 12/13/13) It looks like G1355 can't let go of this, maybe it is hidden Diesel envy.
(quoted from post at 11:21:44 12/15/13) When you get that 6.7 to over 30 years and be basically trouble free like my 1979 dodge w150 with a 360, then I will consider buying one, in that case any power stroke that can make it that long, they will be long gone by then
well its not a powerstroke but the 6.9 idi came out in the early 80's and besides a newer diesel with 500,000 miles on it has technically lasted longer than a w150 with a 360 at 250,000 miles (used these numbers for easy figuring) and it has more hp and torque, so on to the next "discussion"(quoted from post at 11:21:44 12/15/13) When you get that 6.7 to over 30 years and be basically trouble free like my 1979 dodge w150 with a 360, then I will consider buying one, in that case any power stroke that can make it that long, they will be long gone by then
(quoted from post at 06:56:38 12/17/13) i have got a question about the video, any particular reason none of them are speaking english? and i cant tell 100 percent sure but those sure dont look like american license plates on the truck or trailer?
(quoted from post at 01:51:38 12/21/13) It costed more because I bought a Powerwagon, will it last 30 years, you better believe it and it and gonna have a thing wrong with it either, I get 17mpg unloaded and around 8-10 loaded, and if you look what a Powerwagon is equipped with you'll see why it's more, it's kinda like a ford raptor, I can take it across a v ripped field 40mph like a atv and it rides just fine. And a diesel will last that long but its gonna be more to maintain, you can run a gas truck cheaper and that's a fact, and when I got 5 year/ 100,000 mile warranty I don't have nothing to worry about that's why you buy new. Look at trucks from the 70s and 80s there will be more gas trucks left than diesels. Kinda like old gas tractors look there's plenty of them left. We have a 66 oliver my grandpa bought brand new in 1954 and the motor in that has never been rebuilt and still runs like a top.

(quoted from post at 07:42:12 12/23/13) Thanks to the people who gave me a Information on a NEW 2011-2014 FORD 6.7L Diesel!
For the life of me I cannot see why some people need to make a P-ing mach out of a Subject not related to the post!
Thanks again to those who helped!
