V-10 or TT diesel

Regency 2007 · August 29th, 2007, 11:58 PM

My dad's F150 has approached 100,000 miles and he always like to sell when they reach that point.

He is really interested in the new 08 Superdutys but wants more power than the 5.4 with 300hp so it is either v-10 or diesel. I dont know much on the new diesels but I "heard" they are getting bad gas mileage and the add on cost for just the motor is $6,000 compared to extra $600 for the v-10?

And knowing my dad, he likes to modify... can much be done to the new v-10 or TT diesel. I guessing the aftermarket isn't open to the new motors just yet?

u think the diesel gets bad gas mileage??? the v-10 will suck gas faster then u can put it in there. id go for the diesel.

Regency 2007 · August 30th, 2007, 12:09 AM

well the thing I have been hearing is the new diesel is only getting around 8-12 mpg and my friends dad has the old 2v v-10 and it gets 11-13mpg around town, the new 3v should be even better

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 12:13 AM

tell him to get an SVT f150

go for the diesel. more longevity, better torque, and responds to mods much better.

TT diesel my step bro just got one good on gas mileage he has to drive really far to work and is only using a tank a week instead of a half a tank a day with his old v8

Deisel definitly those deisels on the highway without towing anything can get ver 20 MPG easy.

fuck gas powered trucks used to tow... diesels have a higher % of power increase from little things then a gas engine will.

go deisel

mattstang · August 30th, 2007, 12:46 AM

look into the new emissions systems theyre putting on these trucks my work got some new dodges and the cummins motor and the 6-speed tranny are as good as ever but the emmisions system is all fucked up and throws codes every day
yea theyre not makin you broke down but who wants a 45k-50k truck with less than 3000 miles with the check engine light on

i would deff go diesel but i would wait a year or buy a 06 or older

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 12:47 AM

i still say SVT

06RedfireGT · August 30th, 2007, 12:49 AM

if your dad likes to mod tell him not to go with a 6.0 diesel. They are great ins tock form, but as soon as you start chipping them they turn into nightmares.

if your talking about the I-6 Cummings, my brother has that chipped to hell, and tuned with no problems.

06RedfireGT · August 30th, 2007, 12:59 AM

6 cylinder diesel

87foxbodylx · August 30th, 2007, 01:01 AM

You think im kidding? there's a video of a 2006 I-6 Cummings deisle outpulling a pos f450 powerstroke, both in stock form. Let me see if i can find it.

btw its a 6.7 liter..

Regency 2007 · August 30th, 2007, 01:05 AM

The dodge has always been an option for my dad as well but that is only because of the motor... everything else on dodge we dont care for (interior sucks, bad powertrain besides the cummins, and old/cheap looks)

DO you guys know what the sticker on the truck says the MPG is on the ne diesels? I can't find it... and I can't find the v-10 either...

mattstang · August 30th, 2007, 01:06 AM

i thought 6.7 didnt come out till 07

MSO · August 30th, 2007, 01:06 AM

IMO
