Default Got smoked by a Ford F350 Powerstroke

So I'm sitting at the stoplight in my 2004.5 Dodge RAM 2500 4x4 HO Cummin's diesel and I look over at this Ford F350 Powerstroke and I'm thinking, "he is going to want to race me." The light changes and I'm accelerating normally when suddenly the guy hammers it. Well, what is a normal red-blooded Amercan male to do in that situation? I hammered it too, of course!!!!!

Well, he completely blew my doors off. And I'm thinking, "he can't be that much faster than me!" Well, I got to thinking about it and I realized I was in over-drive. At the next light (he was long gone) I took the truck out of OD and for the first time I dropped the hammer. Holy smokes! Needless to say, if the testosterone ever gets the better of me again in the future I will not be losing any drag races to another stock non-Dodge truck!!!!

I just put in an Edge Juice box with Attitude monitor on my 03 Duramax. 5 levels of power improvement up to 125 horsepower and 250 lb/ft of torque. It is just crazy what these modern diesels do now. The thing feels faster than my Mustang Cobra. Can't wait to tow all my junk down to Vegas later this month.

So, DBeck, them Fords give you any more trouble, that's your answer. Click on up to level 5 right while you're driving, and lay down some law! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

A TITAN? Titan what? Sorry, that one didn't ring a bell.

My Dodge puts out 600 pounds of torque. Its the highest on the market to the best of my knowledge.

It's Nissan'S full size truck.Power and acceleration is quite impressive for a stock truck.

I'm skeptical that it would beat the Dodge. The Cummins in the only medium class diesel on the market. Every other diesel is considered a light diesel.

Hook a trailer up to that Titan and try beating a diesel!! Here's a bit of advice, stay to the right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Shady, I'm thinkin' of putting that same box on my Dodge 600 as all I've heard is good things about it. Careful on level 4 and 5, I've been told it will slip the tranny on a case of severe heavy footedness!!!
dbeck... wait 'till you get the hang of launching your 600, those pesky Fords won't be too much of a problem any more.........

Nissan shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as a Full size truck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] let alone a sentence, having to do with diesels[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

dbeck, remember way, way back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] when you posted about getting a new truck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I warned you, to get a FORD PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
