ford fan killed

Hey Matt I think he was saying that the 7.3 smoked the 6.5 when it was in GM's trucks, or in other words the 6.5 was little competition.

I think that the reason was mainly because of emissions and the 7.3 was not going to make the new standards. For most enthusiasts we look at it as a sad loss!

i also raced a 1000CC(i forget what kinda bike it was,thinking Kawasaki)Bike that was like a touring bike and i embarressed(big time,3 truck lengths by 105MPH)him but then again he had just bought the bike brand new and again it was not a street bike it was one of those that look more like a harley..
now for the Harley that i raced,my brother borrowed my LBZ one night and while he was the bar(no good decision was ever made at a bar)he meet this guy that was talking crap about his Harley so after a few drinks the bet(the guy that drove my truck was sober or somebody would have been killed)was made and after 2 runs from 0-100MPH he gave up in defeat..the first two kills were with a 1ton dually with a hot EFILive tune running stock turbo and injectors..i'm not claiming to be that fast all i'm saying is alot of bikes aren't that bad a$$ as what alot of guys claim,also i believe they could have been faster with an experienced racer riding the bike also.

PS:i said i would only bash gas power rides.

Run me on my 600RR
If a built 454 aint gonna keep up from 25-90, then I cant imagine a truck will hang with

Yea better keep the Ford also. Will need something to pull that duracrap home every time it falls down.

[Austinj427]

Lol you guys realize, he has gotten so much **** that when he comes back to ford he wont let us know.. Or he will tell us that he got a hyundai sonata because he decided trucks just werent for him.

First off :
Yes, I said the 6.5 they were fitting into the hummer after the duramax was released were more powerful than the 7.3, and they are a direct bolt in. On the guy saying research history.... I have. Thoroughly.

The 6.5 was built because the turbo fords (non powerstroke) were released, and the 6.2 was a joke comparatively. The 6.0 was released because the 7.3 was a joke comparatively to the 6.6. These engine manufacturers build the engines to compete. They aren't improved for no reason. Get a life and stop insulting me.

I personally think it's lame to not be able to say "duramax" or "cummins". "duracrap" makes you sound like a 4 year old.

you make me laugh. you contradict yourself everytime you post man... unsubscribed

well if that motor ends up calling it quits, at least you can still get some cash out of the heads. Scrappers are paying good money for aluminum right now.

i agree with the lettering in bold
i disagree somewhat on some of your post..
the 6.2 and the 6.5 were a joke in anything bigger then a 1/2ton but the 7.3 was not a JOKE..maybe not as powerfull as the Duramax but if Navistar wanted to they could easily have made it compete or even out preform the Duramax or Cummins but they would have to spend lots of cash to make it pass emissions so they did a new design to save money but in the long run i think they would have saved more redoing the 7.3 since it was a proven diesel.


as a side note..thanks guys for those compliments..i try hard not to be closed minded but a few members on here have made it hard at times..so hearing you all say that makes it worth itthanks

The 6.5 was an absolute joke compared to the Powerstroke 7.3, 94+. Not even the GM guys are going to say they'd take a 6.5 over a 7.3. You aren't researching in the right place.

The 6.5 wasn't even designed to be a major competitor to the Cummins and Powerstroke engines at the time. GM simply wanted an engine with some good power that got good mileage and that's about all it gave.

As for the 6.0's release, it was a cross between emissions and the Duramax that it came out.

Also, you can say duracrap, or whatever bashing name you can come up with for the competing engines, but let's be honest....using them is really what makes someone sound like a 4 year old than not using them.

The 6.0 was a rushed engine ford wanted to compete with the 6.6 and also had to comply with harsher emissions.

there where so many design flaws and the fact ford took a otherwise stock engine and pushed stock tuning to 325 HP from a engine that was supposed to be only 175-230 horse.

and wonder why they had head gasket issues and egr cooler problems.

however that being said you are a set of headstuds and egr delete away from having one potent engine that many guys will fear.

The fact you have a VGT turbo when most had waste gates was enough for them to fear the fords. the year the 6.0 came out many people commented how fast the 6.0 accelerated

The injector issues and turbo failures I will contribute to people not driving it like a truck. Hammer down once in awhile the engine likes to rev up.
