6.4 Turbo diesel

[jguzman75]

My just got his 08 F-450 diesel and I wanted to know how FAST it was, I unhooked his gooseneck and took it for a spin and I was totally disappointed. The truck looked great and ran pretty good, I know its not a race car but I was not impressed as all. My X is kinda fast but I know for sure I would have no trouble beating it. I thought they were gonna be spead demons with all that torque and hp

With what gears? 4.88???

These things are Towing Monsters with those gears, but not speed demons for sure

Wouldn't 488's get it off the line in a hurry?
