And there you have it.
But some people never grow up and are still stuck in the "my truck is faster than yours" mentality. :R

Did you see the Ford F150 2.7 EB vs the RAM 3.0 ED 0-60 times? And did you see these two trucks performance pulling a trailer up the Ike Gauntlet? It was very revealing that the one with the better 0-60 had the most reserved power during that pull comparison. :W

A 0-60 time is a metric that measures a trucks power and does have some correlation to a trucks pulling ability.

So the Ford will make it to the top of the hill first; YAAY!

We still haven't tackled that tough question of long term durability, Fish :W

Don't worry; Ford Motor Company doesn't want to discuss that either :B

Which engine are your referring to with respect to long term durability :h

Just because the eco diesel is new doesn't mean it will not prove out to be durable.

I was referring to the vehicle in the original post, the 2015 Ford 6.7L. I don't think there is any doubt that the Ford will be to the top of the hill before the Ram 6.7L Cummins but there is still the question of durability of the 2015 Ford 6.7L as noted in the video.

I still haven't seen any documentation as to the differences in the high pressure fuel pump on this engine compared to previous models, if in fact there are any. The other thing that a lot of people tend not to think about are the costs of long term ownership. If one chooses to research the Ford 6.7L they would see how complex this engine is, and removing the cab for major engine repairs is not something most are capable of in the driveway. We have a couple of them at work and looking under the hood of these trucks is enough to give the best of techs nightmares.

In respect to the Ecodiesel in the Ram, I'm not sure why so many were slagging it in the other thread. It seemed to do very well in that pull test, given the specs of the engine. It seems to be suffering from random failures of the CP4 high pressure fuel pump, just like the Ford 6.7L, though.

Funny how blofgren has to change to discussion when discussing the performance of the 6.7 Power Stroke... I can say that the dealer my cousin works at has more techs wrenching the RAM cummins than the Ford shop wrenching on the Power Strokes and this dealer sells way more Super Duty's than RAM's.

And this is coming from a old GM fan... Just so you know! :W

Time will tell but I'm happy that I am not one of the test mules!

Let's hope your not a test mule like many 6.7 cummins owners were with their head gasket failures.

Yes Fish my truck is assembled in Mexico.

You should be so proud! :R

X2 - Unless the "subject" is how pretty a blue oval is (even if it's pinned to a turd).

I wasn't trying to change the subject, just trying to clarify the confusion in a previous post. You may want to reread my post above where I stated that the Ford 6.7L would beat the Ram Cummins to the top of the hill. Ford has spent a lot of money both in "tuning up" the 6.7L engine and creating blatantly obvious one sided infomercials showing so.

Again, to clarify; what they still have not discussed or proven are the specific changes that have been made to the 2015 model, especially in regards to the high pressure fuel pump and the long term durability of the "improved" engine. Time will tell but I'm happy that I am not one of the test mules!

I thought of Fish when the star of the show was all excited about how Ford built their Diesel "IN HOUSE" HA yea if you can call it in house made in Mexico.

Yes Fish my truck is assembled in Mexico.

I can tell you the gearing does make a big difference. Went to dinner with the family last night when heading out of town I was sitting at the light in my nearly 10K RAM 4:10's and my son was behind me in his 9K Limited 3500LB Crew 3:42's. Both trucks have Aisin's. We both hit it hard off the light. I pulled ahead off the light and stayed evenly ahead up to 60mph. Point is my truck is 1K heavier and I would have had a faster 0-60 than him and that is with the same HP and TQ. At the end of the 1/4 mile he would have passed me no doubt.
