i have had 5 powerstrokes.

ford hp and torque figure keep on moving up the rpm scale. governed redline is 3000rpm in 5th. 3600 in 4th ( actually faster )

bigger hp numbers mean sales at the cost of loosing bottom end.

my 2001 runs on 7 cylinders most of the time because of the returnless heads that trap air and let the fuel get hot in the heads. 6.0's are the same f'in nightmare.

the 96 and 97's had 21:1 compression, no wastgate and could pull from 1100 rpm. ( got in trouble with the epa on these models)

99's could not get of of a wet paper bag.

NOTHING compares to a mercedes diesel.
