oops..'nuther question..LOL

[howardtm]

ok..this isn't at all critical but just WHY are the powerstrokes so daymn noisy? Cummins...sounds like a diesel...DuraMax..sounds like a diesel...Cat...sounds like a diesel. Powerstroke???sounds like a gasser on it last legs. Is there anything one can do , reasonably, that can quiet the running noise of these engines? Read a post somewhere here about something to do with the #8 injector and somekind of fuel return system??

Must be a personal preference thing, cuz I like the Powerstroke noise best of 'em all. 'Specially with improved intake and upgraded exhaust. Sweet sound to me man.

I'm not talking about the noise from the tail pipe..I'm talking about under the hood racket..LOL

Well, I think that the Powerstroke sounds the most like a mens diesel. Loud, tough, and You dont want to touch it unless you wanna get smoked. It sounds most like a diesel to me. Duramaxs' and Cummins are to quiet!

[howardtm]

yeah..well, I'm old and value my hearing...seems to me there should be a way to make them run quieter...

An oil cross over line MAY tone it down a bit, but IMHO it is what it is a 7.3 sounds like a 7.3, you can always tell one when you hear it. Mine is loud outside the cab, but inside while crusing I hardly notice it.

Yeah you can add a high pressure cross over line and a return fuel kit. It will quiet down the "racket" I can have my 2 PSD's side by side and my stock 2000 work truck is much louder than my 2000 personal (the 350 in my sig) They will not make a huge difference and it still makes "racket" but is not as loud
