Read somewhere the PSD will de-throttle under continuous duty cycle. Not sure if it's true.
Does seem too good to be true based on cooling capacity. A class 8 running continuous 475hp requires much larger coolers, and they're likely running higher efficiency than a PSD @ 475hp.
Watched a guy on YouTube he said when the Ford fan kicks on it is really loud and consumes a lot of power. Just repeating what he experienced.
mine is not new it is a 14, and Im towing about 16000lbs but on big streached in the summer when its 40 degrees C climbing long steep hills (grade 8.5 average) yes the fan kicks on when it gets very hot but it doesnt de-throttle, the fan is loud but it cools stuff down fast and I don't notice a drop in power at all and I can pull that at 120kph (thats the speed limit) so Im not babying it , but most of the time I will pull it at 100 to save a bit of diesel haha.
