hey guys lets make a 730ft lb. torque diesel engine and put a luxury smooth shifting designed-to-slip trans behind it!! yay !!!

I can see it biting the dust by 100k.

think they are trying to follow in dodges foot steps? Seems like a step backwards. I know my bosses 7.3 excursion has an electric shift kit that makes that 3spdOD go Waaa....WAAA...WAAA...Waaa and by then your doing 120. Forget about holding a cup of coffee, let alone drinking it or placing it in the cup holders... as opposed to the sloppy mess it was before.

I'll have to try this. I can't hardly top 55 towing my empty flatbed. Gross weight empty is about 8,000. Got on 79 the other day and said, oops, this was a mistake at about 50 uphill. Going downhill I can get the needle to 67 1/2, so a hair over 70, without a trailer. The radar screens the great commonwealth (not state) of PA puts up say I'm reading about 5% low.

You are talking about the same guys who complain that fit and finish isn't just right, or if there is a rattle somewhere. Or that a one ton dually rides rough. NO@#^&!!!! It's a 1-ton, not a caddy!!!!! There's a reason I haven't read motor trend or truck trend in years. Probably about 3 issues after they started truck trend.

One thing i think should be added to this is it takes 5qts to re-fil the stock pan, maybe 6, depending on how big your cooling system is(mine is slightly smaller than stock).
