If you're doing a NYC peddle every day you are earning every penny you make. I hauled meat to Philly and D.C. a lot and frozen imported meat from the docks in Philly back west. tried to avoid NY as much as I could... too much for me.

Choke03
05-21-2003, 06:22 PM
Prez, I had a 98 with the V-!0 before this and You can't compare the 2, this truck is like a Luxury car on Tren. Definately look forward to your suggestions.

Nice truck,but a Powerstroke will out do the Cummins anyday of the week.I even have hooked my F-250 4x to a Hummer and drug it all over the place! Dodge is supposed to be changing to a different diesel engine soon,I heard from the grapevine.Don't get me wrong I used to have a Dodge and loved it.But the Cummings is a pussycat compared to the 444 cubic in Powerstroke diesel.

not gonna get into things to much...BUT...you are dreamin here Fishgear.....a few things first....

Cummins:
inline 6
5.9 liter euivalent to a 360 gas
Choke has a 305hp/550 tq truck stock

Powerjoke
V-8
7.3 or now the 6.0 (they are having major problems with these motors)
i think about the same hp/tq but about 5 higher in each catagory

The powerstroke not only needs 2 extra cylinders to produce 5 more hp than a Cummins but the motor will not hold together with any power mods...i can put a set of injectors in Chokes truck for 6-700 dollars and give him atleast 60-70 more hp at the rear wheels...you do that to a powerstroke and not only are those injectors going to cost you around 2-2.5k :eek: but chances are the motor will not handle the power and blow up...Cummins is built in over the road trucks and built to last.....the blocks and rods on these two motors are not comparison...i will see if i can get a picture up on this....absolutely no comparison..... i know you guys knew this was Cummin :D

dedprez*
05-21-2003, 09:58 PM
those comparisons and studies that you see on TV and mags you must also have to take into effect if it was an ext cab...the manual vs. auto, gears (3.55,3.73, or 4.10)

right now there is a Banks built dodge dakota that has a 4cylinder Cummins in it that does 222mph...worlds fastest truck...

i would love to see a powerstroke or duramax do that and hold together :rolleyes:

dedprez*
05-21-2003, 10:00 PM
ok...here is the rod comparison ...tell me which one you would rely on to do the things that you need a truck to do?

Damn prez you know your shit, when I get some cash I will definately call on you to help me hook up the Truck. Thanks for the info cause some guy at work was just spewing the same Ford rules stuff on me, now I have knowledge to go back at him.

yes...but you is talkin smack without facts :) i dont wanna get into a heated argument over this tho...i amsure your truck is very nice...and i do kinda/sorta like the powerstroke

FishGear
05-22-2003, 07:36 PM
No hard feelings,just I have had had both and like the Ford better. I will give the Cummins one thing,the fuel consumption is better.Both suffer in the "high cost oil change dept." LOL

Nice truck but it's still a Mopar. :D

Too bad they don't put a Caterpiller in them. That was my favorite for the large-cars I had. My favorite was a 359 Pete w/extended hood, 450 V-8 Cat. 14610Roadranger double overdrive and deep reduction, making it a 15 speed. Used to blow the doors off everybody going up the Baker grade loaded to the gills... Ahhh, the memories. :D

Choke, do they use the 6cyl block or is it still a V-8? That has to be the smoothest running engine I ever saw. Sounds like you have some real nice equipment!

Damn Bro- Nice truck-Bet it's fun to park at the mall. When I was in High School My dad Got a 4 door chevy with the long bed. Had a suped up 454 in it. But man was that thing bitch in the city! I don't know how you guys handle driving trucks in places like Jersey or NY would drive me nuts.
