I ain't got nothin' to gripe about now that mine works again... BTW... Unless the fuel gauge has changed, looks like over 22 mpg on this tank at the half-way mark. Not bad considering a lot of idling, and dragging my heavy-ass made out of lead horse trailer around.He's not the only one lately....

Did not have a camera, So I don't have any pics of either. I am trying to see if some of the people I was with got any good pics.
My dads Ram 3500 wouldn't pull my 914 on the 18ft goose in the hills west of Shreveport at 70.
The old F-350 I put a Banks pushing 11psi, would pull the Dodge and trailer better.
Apparently this is not your dads 3500.
It's not the power output I bitch about, it's the fuel injectors that crap out every 750 hours...One of those low-power motors you gripe about
Actually, after seeing what Cat and Cummins have planned for Tier 4 in 2011, neither of them are on my Christmas card list anymore...

I didn't realize you had to deal with anything smaller than an ISX...It's not the power output I bitch about, it's the fuel injectors that crap out every 750 hours...

What year was the F-350? The stock turbo in my 2000 Dodge is pushing 18.5 psi.

I think that would be the sort of f-350 that didn't come with a turbo... Hence they were christened "Powersmokes"

My ex-wife had one of those... a '93... spent most of it's time with the accelerator peddle pushed all the way to the floor...

Oh yeah before FI all the old Diesel engines were dogs. That has changed thankfully.
My responsibility envelope is 15-40 liters... but unfortunately Tier 4 offroad emissions impacts everything above 175hp starting Jan 1, 2011.

I think the EPA has already demonstrated their sense of humor on this.
