Two questions: Was the Comp on (since you were towing) and what was it set on? Also what tires did you have on since you listed two sizes. Very cool though. I love to see the Powerstrokes loose.

This reminds me that I just read an article testing two new diesels. The Powerstroke 6.0 and the Duramax. The new H.O Cummins was not available so I didnt bother to tell about it earlier but since you just wooped one I will share what I read. First off the magazine was very biased towards the PS. So much it was almost not interesting to read. The told how the PS just worked the DM in almost every test. They claimed the PS would smoke the tires with 2,000 lbs in the bed. Mater of fact the PS 0-60 times improved with the weight for traction control! ??? Sounds like they just didnt know how to drive it. Towing a 7200 lb TT the PS 0-60 was around 23 seconds. The DM was around 30 seconds. And 50-70 the PS was around 12 seconds and the DM was around 14. Not sure how good any of these numbers sound and I havent had time to compare with my truck but the magazine made the new 6.0 Powerstroke sound like it would blow away any truck. I hope when I finally get my DD2's I can be somewhat competive on the road. Mostly towing since the manuals arent real quick off the line. ;D

Yes the comp was on level 4. At this time I have on 265/75/16's. I am putting the 315's on my wifes cummins. I am going to run some 33's on my truck to keep the gearing better for pulling.
