7.3 Vs. 6.6 Durajunk

[6.9poweredscout]

My friend decided he'd prove to his friend why a $600 truck is better than a $20,000 truck. Yes that old ford the first idi I owned still working hard. This wasn't a one time fluke, this was 3 of 3 and the ford got all 3 pulls. That 6.6 is worked up too!

That's what a weight advantage will do for you. Lol

awesome lol

I don't know I bet they weigh almost the same even with a plow.

The front end weight of the duramax will be considerably less.
Aluminum heads, IFS vs full cast iron engine, d60, and what like 600 lbs(?) for the plow.

These old fords are pretty heavy.

That Chevy is supposed to be just over 6k.
My 94 f350 weighs around 7200 with a pretty light flatbed, and both tanks on E.

Yup.

Meaningless test. Its all about weight and traction for that.

I've never been a fan of the truck tug of wars because its all about who is heavier or has the better traction and there is really no test of pulling power. Its also really ******* both trucks no matter who wins. A better test would be have both trucks pull the same weight on a specific route which includes a long steep grade and see who maintains the better speed, lower egt's and fuel milage. The winner of that one might disappoint duramax haters.

The video was fun to watch though.

When my dmax was stock it weighed ~6700. Not sure how a #8K ford tank (and that might be under guess w/ flat bed and plow for counter balance) is a fair pull. Mine weighs 9200 now, wanna come prove its not a weight advantage?

Impressive show though.

I couldn't agree more with this statement. And as for the Duramax, well even though I don't like new stuff nor do I like GM products, I think GM made a wise choice in adopting the Duramax mill. It is quite the engine and had been around for 14 years now and proven reliable.

Big weight advantage, plus the lower hitch on the chevy didn't help.

pointless.

Josh ran his ford across the scale, full fuel tank, plow, and him, 7300#'s. I still say the ford is 1000 times better than the chevy.

my dmax was 6700 with full tank.
