Actually, I dyno'd at the same time as 4 other chapter members (I believe there's about 25K posts between us, so we're not a bunch of newbies) who all have much more powerful CTDs than mine, and they dyno'd 12-15% low - so I'm satisfied with the graph as generated.
My truck has zero extra fuel or fueling system mods in it, but there's not much else that's stock...

I wouldn't have thought that my non-fueling mods (all in support of #2 bombs) made the engine so efficient, but I didn't "know" that - so I dyno'd.
There's a world of difference between your opinion (even if it IS an informed one) - which you're welcome to - and what you "KNOW"... that's probably why you've earned Troll status.

what about the 2nd gen Dodge with the Cummins that you have to take the fender well out and mangle the inner metal fender to change the starter or turn up the idle? and by way of statistics you will see more Fords on the side of the road. when you sell at least twice as many more diesel vehicles as both of your competitors combined there will be at least twice as many broke down as the other two...figures eh? numbers kill. heaven forbid any of you use any sort of facts in your generalizations.
I can have the starter off in 15 minutes on my 95 or 98, from underneath the truck. On the idle, easy change from above, 5 minutes top!
Also, it's easy to sell twice as many trucks when it takes customers 2 or 3 buy backs to get one that will finally run!
But what do I know...We've only run 15 Chevy's into the ground in the time it's taken to get 325K miles on my 95 Cummins!

Well, your argument doesn't hold much water to my experience...

Personally, I don't think Super is trolling but if he is, who cares? He'd kinda like to know the same thing as me...how does your 5.9 make 700 ft lbs if it is bone stock?? Simple as that. If you don't want to tell, say so. But most folks know that a stock 5.9, from the crate to the Ram is rated by Cummins at 610....which is probably 575-585 at the wheels.

Thanks for the compliments on the site. I have found a couple closed threads that you've participated in now, and here goes one more. Time to close these ones down. If you wish to continue flaming; you'll have to find another place to do so. We don't tolerate it here, no matter what brand you own. Turn down the testosterone a bit, boys.

The reason you're getting red marks is because you seem to have an issue with being respectful to people around here. When you can learn to behave like an adult and respect those around you, you might get some green marks.
