That's pretty good mileage! What's the power feel like compared to your v-10? I've got 2 trucks with the 5.4 and they're great , if I ever get around to buying a new truck it will be another 5.4, I occasionally pull about 3-4000 lbs and loads of 1-2000 and they handle it no problem. I can't stand them stinky loud a@* dieselsOriginally posted by alstroker
My truck gets about 14-15mpg. This is the same mileage my dad gets in his F-250 with the 5.4L V-8. .
A chevy 6100 v-8 produces more power and a Cummins 5.9 ho is within 30 hp and has way more torque.If the V-10 is a dog stock,
Because it is severly detuned from the factory. Cummins produces the same engine for other apps with 300 hp and loads of torque.You will see within the next year or so Ford and Dodge will have 300 hp diesels.then why would your diesels need a chip and other upgrades to blow the V-10
From a dead stop you are correct. Roll on from 60mph would be a different story. Add a trailer and some hills or high elevation and the v-10 begins to weez.There is no way that a (stock) diesel is going to out drag a (stock) V-10 gas engine in a straight line.
I work for a tier 1&2 supplier to Gm so I have heard a bit a scuttlebutt regarding this drivetrain combo. I WOULD not touch a Duramax or the Allsion for a while.In my opinion, the 7.3 powerstroke and the 5.9 cummins are the best engines on the market. Heard bad things about the new chevy diesel. Heard that the aluminium heads are leaking water.
