Fuck a CDL
If my company would let me have one of these I'd probably be willing to get a CDL.
I wouldn't want to be the employee that puts the first scratch in that thing!
Fuck a CDL
My F750 had a 230hp C7 with a proto type CAT CX28 transmission.It's OK, I've driven them before and they're fine. I'd still take a real MDT inline 6 and trans.
I also do favor the 6.7 Ford over the other 2 for a pickup, fwiw.
I'm well into CDL territory no matter what, oh well.
My F750 had a 230hp C7 with a proto type CAT CX28 transmission.
As far as power goes out was garbage but the truck was bullet proof.
A 9 liter at 350hp or so would be perfect, not sure that is a option.
I purposely don't get 450s because the roughness of the 19.5 tires and the fixed 4.30 gear ratio.
I have talked about swapping the 19.5s out for 20" E rated LT tires but aftermarket rims leave a sour taste in my mouth.
We'll see how I like this 10-speed 3.55 combo and I may just a 450 for the next one.
18,600 that's cuteYou don't carry enough weight if your truck is riding rough. Rolling around at 18,600 smooths the ride right out. My truck rides niiiiice!
So 2 years ago, it rode decent once18,600 that's cute
18,600 that's cute
Just my tractor alone is 21,070 full of fuel without me in it….
Fingers crossed, I killed 2 rear axle housing and broke a wheel doing shit like that.I'll be rolling down to Port Arthur tomorrow morning slightly overweight. I loaded up a 2,400lb rotary quill and a 360' spool of die formed 1.25" winch cable Friday to take with me. Cable spool was so big I had to trim it down to fit it in the bed.
Ford are liars... Sort of. LED headlights, for instance, are available on every trim level... True, technically. Not available on XLT regular cabs or any XLT dually. Only available with XLT Premium Pkg with Sport Appearance.
The same truck we ordered 18 months ago is $4k more now.
Fords decision making as of late is questionable. I do like our 450. She does ride rough on this pothole infested North East roads, but you hook a trailer to it and all that goes away.
2022 orders not built yet are being canceled and getting a 2023 slot when production is going to be limited might well have people waiting 2.5 years for trucks they cannot get.
If we were in the market again, I'd look at Ram right now or wait for '24.

interesting, thought they all went water cooled when they went to DPFonly thing i've seen so far is the HO diesel has a water cooler turbo.
Std is 475/1050 and HO is 500/1200
That's a lot of money for that increase but I noticed in the SRW trucks they are limiting the HO package to certain rear axle ratios so it might be required equipment if you have rear gear preference.
The $13k difference is from 7.3 gas to 6.7 HO, STD 6.7 to 6.7 HO is around $3k.I'd think for alot less than 13k you could just add a tuner to the non HO motor and and come up with very similar or higher HP/TQ numbers.
OK, that makes way more sense.The $13k difference is from 7.3 gas to 6.7 HO, STD 6.7 to 6.7 HO is around $3k.
huh, maybe they put water around the turbine housing like they do on boat turbos, iirc the 6.7 ford is a hot V engine with the exhaust in the middle and the intake on the outside...maybe they are all water cooled? the ho one says water jacket the non HO doesn't?
Yeah It's safe to assume water jacketed turbine housing is the change but hard for me to understand how that un-locked more hp/torque?huh, maybe they put water around the turbine housing like they do on boat turbos, iirc the 6.7 ford is a hot V engine with the exhaust in the middle and the intake on the outside...
They pretty much all went to water cooled center housings with the dpf because you wouldn't get cool EGTs at low load and idle in order to cool off the turbo before shutting the engine off. Oil woud get cooked into coke after shutting the engine off and letting the hot turbine housing heat soak the center housing, the water jacket will naturally percolate like a coffee maker. Some use an electric pump on the turbo for after-shutdown cooling, but that's because they ran the hoses too stupidly for natural convection to provide flow...
it is certainly just in the ECU maps and the additional cooling is just so that it'll hopefully last through the warranty periodYeah It's safe to assume water jacketed turbine housing is the change but hard for me to understand how that un-locked more hp/torque?
That must imply there is more BTU of cooling in the radiator(s) than they were using?
Honestly the thing gets pretty freaking hot pulling long grades in the heat, never told me it was too hot but the temps are elevated for sure.
