my ford out pulls my friends ram but thats only because my ford is a diesel and his ram is the 5.2l and the weight. but at 6k lbs on the trailer attached to both trucks his ram can pull off the line faster cuz my diesel has shotty tires on it.

Yea I never liked Ford but with 300hp,360tq and 15, 19mpg (factory ratings) on a 4x4. It was hard to pass. I don't know if I would say I like Ford, but I like my truck.

For thos who have OBDII on their vehicles this is for you.

I bought a Bluetooth OBDII connector. I use my phone to view all the data the engine has in live feed. This thing is great, great price and with the Torque app, tons of info. You can blutooth to your PC too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290930379709...84.m1439.l2649
