I couldn't bear to read the whole thing. I've driven about five or six of the older 6.0s and a couple of the new ones. They've got more dead pedal and poor throttle response than a cummins with a blown injector pump. That, and who can afford to buy a Ford. They're prices are insane (not that I would buy one mind you).

Actually my trucks sticker was more that my ford king ranch FX4 6.0. They are a beautiful truck, with a awful engine.

ORIGINAL: Silverline

I couldn't bear to read the whole thing.
x2!
I got all the way to the actual test vehicles... WTF!!!! They decided to put up the "class leading" 6.0 against the ISB250 3500 with a LOWER GCWR then my truck[sm=WTFsgign.gif] And their explaination "The HO Cummins is only available with a manual transmission. About 90% of Power Stroke sales are automatics." Only somewhat biased...

Hummmmmm.....just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read. That was back in 2003, I wonder how the saps that bought into the hype actually feel about it now. They're probably MORE pissed than you!!!
