Yes I can understand.     The taxes, traffic and cost of living is enough to force people out!

And dont forget the traffic. 1hr 40 min to go from nassau to Manhattan. 30 min drive normally

Cowpie Nailed it.  My transmission rebuilder relayed he couldn’t get parts for the 8 speed.  6 speeds have plenty.   

 

Tranny rebuilt at 193k. 99% fully payload, tow or both. 

 

2015 2500 216k

TFL episode last night mentioned they tested the new 6.6L gasser pulling 16k down and back up the Ike.  They were teasing the video since it's not out yet but I'm excited to see this test.

The real test I wanna see is load it up at max towing from the outgoing 6.0 to see how much better it really is.....that was like 13.5k-14k.

I guess it will.give.it away if the new engine pulls 16k in about the same time.

The 6.6 gasser will out pull the 6.0 no doubt.    Similar to comparing a small block to a big block.  No replacement for displacement!!

Yea but remember how that 6.0 shit all over that ram 6.4 going up that big hill. In theory though it should do better but I don’t fully believe in the whole replacement for displacement. It will be interesting to see the comparison to the 7.3 gasser.... for some reason I see the 6.6 doing just as good.lol

Interesting to see if the 7.3 Ford can hang on to it’s spark plugs, maybe so tight that it won’t let them be removed in one piece.

If the 7.3 is as good and durable as the 6.2 they run in the SD, it'll be a hit for Ford. I think that GM and Ford have much more potential with these HD gas engines than they offer with them, simply because they designed them more to be daily workhorses and not so much hot rods. I don't think anyone can go wrong with either engine, honestly.

All I can say is overlay the torque graphs between the 6.6 and the 7.3.  They are nearly identical from start to peak to finish and GM could accomplish it with 44 fewer cubic inches... The Ford would have been impressive being released in the early 2000s with the hp and torque numbers it generates...today... not so much.  It hardly beats the outgoing V10 for torque...

[Cowpie]

Yep, the 6.6 and 7.3 are very close on the charts.  The entire drive train will determine which one has an edge out here in the real world.

Right, I didn't buy my 6.6 gasser to be a hot rod. I know it isn't the fastest truck on the road. But it will get the job done when I need it to for many years to come.

Just test drove a 3500 gas and loved it.  Not sure I can afford it tho lol

[Bopper21]

I bought a 2020 2500 Crew Cab Standard Bed 6.6L Gas about 3 weeks ago and have about 1400 miles right now. I am one of those that baby it until at least the first oil change lol, so I don't have a lot of feedback to provide yet though I plan to participate here often and will plan to do so. I will be casual driving and trailering various trailers and loads with this truck. 

 

Computer is saying 13.5 - 14 mpg so far. I plan to test myself on next full tank.
