    Fuel mileage?

    12-13 mpg towing with a gasser is damn good in my opinion.

    Question How would you rate Performance & Reliability of 6.0 Powerstoke to Cummins, Duramax

    Um, that goes for all automatic transmissions............... And Chevies aren't bulletproof. I blew out the 4L60E in my 1500 a few years back, driving it gently and taking good care of it. And don't get me started on Dodge trannies. Eh, who cares anyway, I like stick more than any auto. My...

    Question How would you rate Performance & Reliability of 6.0 Powerstoke to Cummins, Duramax

    The statement about the Ford tranny is pretty uninformed. Yes, the 4R100 had problems. But guess what?! That was a 7.3 transmission. They replaced it with a 5 speed for the 6.0, it's the 5R110 now(or Torqshift). This transmission is a LOT stronger than the old one, and will compete with the...

    Question How would you rate Performance & Reliability of 6.0 Powerstoke to Cummins, Duramax

    I thought the Ford was the most expensive. Nonetheless, I still like it the best.

    some 6.0 questions

    I must admit, it's sometimes fun to watch that MPG display change wildly. In the 98 chrysler i had, it would be no effort at all to see 99 mpg on there.

    some 6.0 questions

    Why do you want a trip computer anyway? They're horribly inaccurate and don't tell me anything I couldn't figure out on my own anyway. For keeping track of distance and direction, you'd be money ahead to buy a navi unit. But that's just me and my 92 Custom(lower than the XL) with no frills...

    just a few new truck questions

    Yeah, when I drive my friend's 02 you have to get on it to hear the whistle, but oh is it sweet :sly I really like the whistle on my uncle's 94 IDI though, i'm not going to lie.

    5R100 into 7.3 truck?

    Even IF you manage to get it to bolt to the motor, getting a computer to control it is a whole nother gigantic and expensive problem. Your money would be better spent building up that 4R100. BTW, the Torqshift is called the 5r110, not 5r100

    Hell, with fuel prices going the way they are now, in the event that your motor does blow, fuel savings will help buffer the cost.

    Turbo gone?

    If the turbo is bad.

    Turbo gone?

    Then unless you have mods, the dealership would have been putting on a turbo at Ford's expense.

    Question Pro's and Con's of the F-550

    A 2007 MY that's been sitting there for over a year worries me. The turbo veins do not take well to sitting for any extended period of time.

    smoking.. lil

    +1 on giving her hell to clean out the turbo. The puff of black smoke when you get on it is perfectly 100% normal behavior for a diesel. Some people actually work hard to make their trucks do that.

    Propane 10 to 12 more mpg

    Sounds like my retarded friend who is dead convinced that adding water to a gasser carb will double your mileage. I've dared him to to try it when he gets his 79 Z28 going again.

    Off Topic - Toyota Towing....

    Ugly memories of my cousin hauling a 30' TT made in the 70's with her little 80's blazer with a v6. She jackknifed it, totalling both the blazer and the trailer. People think a hitch means you can tow anything.

    I Hate Mondays

    I hope you are okay. Stuff like this pisses me off. I guess it's a good thing for that guy he didn't hit me, because I have a REALLY short fuse and in situations like this I act first, think later, and would probably be the one in trouble with the police.

    ERG cooler question

    Something just seems crooked about adding warranty-voiding aftermarket parts, blowing it up, removing them, and taking the truck in expecting Ford to pay for the damage....

    18k mod

    I've also heard somewhere that if you're running a chip, the 10k mod is unnecessary, is this correct?

    08 6.4 head bolts and gaskets

    I think they used bigger bolts this time around. I believe they used a crappy material on the 6.0 for head bolts.

    EGR ON 6.0

    Is it true that sometimes a failed EGR can take the head gaskets with it?
