So my SuperDuty iis freakin fast

[gotrocks]

My buddy and I went out to test my Tow rig tonight and see how fast we could get its 0-60 time.  6.31, Thats right a low 6 to 60.  Thats faster than my dads Audi TT and its A6 2.7t (a twin turbo v6).  These are times from my Superchip Flashpaq Tuner and so I imagine they are very accurate.  We did some 1/4 mile runs as well.  I can run a 1/4 mile at 15.41 and a 1/8 miles at 9.2 at 78 MPH.  My 60 foot is even a 2.1 sec. at 33 MPH. 

I just think its pretty cool  because my truck has 37's with 3.73 gears.  All the mods that I've done are a full straight turbo back exhuast and a AFE cold air intake, and programer.

I could not be more differant. 1/2 ton ram , 360V8, 4.56 gears 38 tires and wont get out of its own way for a tow rig.  At least my yota is slower!

What motor? I miss my 7.3 Power Stroke, I don't think this V10 has near as much power. 

[olivedrab85]

We have the same mods on our 7.3 6spd and it will roll 38's on dry pavement, faster than most cars i've driven.

[gotrocks]

its got the new 6.0 Powerstroke.  I'll admit it hasn't been the best powerstroke that Ford has made but when its running perfect it flat out halls.  Olivedrab I remember how we were talking about your truck down at the roundup.  I for some reason didn't see it but I'd like to sometime.  I don't know if you remember but my turbo was acting up on me when we were driving down there and after I got back Ford had to change the turbo and replace a intercooler boot.  Now its WAY better.  My fuel milage went back up and I got back my power that I had lost.  Pretty much my truck was running on all motor for the trip and I didn't have any power

WM I will agree I think the v10 suck.  I'd take a 7.3 powerstroke anyday before a gas motor. 

We had a brand spankin new (at the time) 03 2500HD GMC Sierra with the 6.0 gas motor and that truck absolutely sucked.  I towed once with it on flat highways and only got 4 MPG towing my Jeep on a flat bed.  After that trip I convinced my dad that he should've listened to me in the first place and just bought a Diesel truck.  Now we couldn't be happier.

You haven't lived till ya drove the Duramax!  I thought the powerstroke was cool!  I think they have way more power!  Buddy ordered one with a 6 spd tranny, and we were pulling Santiam pass between Salem and Bend in 5th gear and still doing 70+!  They go from 60 to 98 faster than ford!

[gotrocks]

well a friend of ours has a 05 Duramax and I'm not impressed at all to be honest.  I've driven it quite a bit and towed with it even.  I still think my Superduty pulls better and has a better pull than his Duramax.  I'm not trying to bash on GM product because my family has always owned GM vehicles but I just think that if you want a real truck buy a Ford or Dodge.  And besides IFS is for cars not trucks.  Give me a good ol D60.

X 2 I've worked for GM for four years and still drive a ford, I think the d max is a good motor with small mods you can make an old 7.3psd out run it. Plus D60 front, leather, 6spd manual.

Yea I was parked in placerville at the KOA. That sucks you guys drove along way having a bad turbo. Sounds like you got it all handled, was it still under warranty?

[gotrocks]

yeah it was thankfully, i don't want to know how much it would've costed if it wasn't under warranty

x3  wait I'm agreeing with myself as well

[motorider228]

that's a fassst powerstroke you have there gotrocks, just a bit slower all around than my regular short bed 2wd hemi ram, you are wayyyy heavier so your a fast ass diesel.  I have a friend with an 01 cummins on 35's and he runs 12.2's in the 1/4 with no spray. It's fun to go get his truck all muddy then go race wrx sti's and stuff and destroy them in a blume of black smoke.

Isn't that a dana 50??

[olivedrab85]

Isn't that a dana 50??

not in the F350

[notajeep]

I thought that only the 350's with the dual rear wheels came with the 60. (you may have a dually... I don't know.) otherwise you had to get a f450 to get a D60.

[olivedrab85]

The guy at randy's told me it was a 60 when I bought gears.

[notajeep]

I think that the center section (carrier) is, but the shafts neck down to the same diamater (sp) as a 44 at the yolk, hence the Dana 50. Not really a 60, but more than a 44.

[olivedrab85]

  doesn't really matter to me in a tow vehicle, its a solid axle cheap and easy to lift. 

[notajeep]

You are right.

[gotrocks]

it is a D60 I garentee it on mine.  The earlier Superduty's had a D50 (from 99 to 02) and in the new 03 they put a real D60 up front of the F250's.  As far as I know all the F250-F350 SD are now standard with the D60's and the 10.5 Sterling rear.
