It's bad news for Ford 6.0L PSD owners... Here is another link. Read away. If you own a Ford 6.0, make sure you have a box of tissues and clean underwear... http://http://www.autoblog.com/2005/12/16/fords-power-stroke-diesel-causing-major-problems/ That link didn't work either....hmmmm Anyway, I found it by typing "Autoweek Ford Warranty" into google. That otta get it fer you.
brands hi guys new to the site but i like to know where you's get info but not to bash i think cummins&dmax are good motors, but gone to charlotte nc for nascar,we had 04 dodge dull towing 10,ooolb fithwheel,04 dmax towing 7,250lb trailer&03 excursion towing 11,425 toyhauler all three stock drive up FancyGap,i believe is 12% upgrade dodge,chevy no match for 6.0 2nd chevy,dodge fell behind.rotfl
I don't know that the original question necessarily had to do with which engine would get to the top of the hill first. I interpreted it as which engine will get a heavy load to the top of the hill every time and then get me home. I voted with my wallet (see signature). Rusty
i think a psd or the dmax because a ctd has alot of low end torque where the psd and the dmax has more top end than the ctd
Had a 95 cummins,ran good up hill but overheated. Had 300,000 and a #5 plate so I think that could have been the reason. My Dmax would outrun it honestly, but thats not a fair comparison, a 95 vs 02. Last one I would want is a 6.0 due to their poor mileage. With an auto tranny, give it to the the Dmax, the cummins behind that 47 or 48 RE doesnt run right to me. We have an 03 cummins with an auto and my dmax will KILL it in every aspect,even mileage. But, you get that Cummins H.O. with a 6 speed and I dont think anything can run with it.
Duramax LBZ/Allsion. The new DMax has more top end than the Cummins and the Allison is the superior transmission. From the 6.0 I've seen, they're not even the race. I think a 7.3 might do a good job though, but not better than the Cummins or DMax.
I gotta stick to the 24v cummins with the 6 spd trans. It will outpull the 7.3 6spd ford I used to have. Yes they were geared alike
You must be kidding Not better than a cummins or dmax Dont let 250hp and 525lb/ft torque fool you. May I ask you why you think it wont do better than a dmax or cummins? Really, what are basing that off of. So often we tend to get caught up in the numbers that the mfgs print. Real life towing situations prove otherwise. I know, im defending the 7.3(I own one ), but you guys have to get the facts straight! The 7.3 probably has the best low end in the business of pickups.
last post, promise but... actually, the 6.0 will handle that grade better than the cummins or the dmax everytime. Of course im speaking stock motors.
Sure. If I'm pulling a heavy 5th wheel up a grade, I'd like some assurance that I reach the top of the grade and don't wind up walking home. The B-series Cummins is a proven quantity (and, yes, I've worked in technical positions, including technical management, for an engine manufacturer - not Cummins - for over 32 years). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the 6.0. Rusty
Im sorry, but i dont see your point. What cannot be said about the 6.0? What does the quantity of the b series cummins have to do with pulling a grade? and why would you have to walk home? What does your technical positions prove? and lastly, what will or wont assure you that it will/wont make to the top if the grade. Not trying to be a smarta$$, but I really dont see your point.
