Ford 7.3 gas engine
Hi, Has anyone ventured out and got a Ford 350 with the 7.3 liter "Godzilla" gas V-8 to put under their TC? FCA is re-purchasing my 2013 RAM 3500 with the Cummins so I get a chance to start anew...

I actually missed the issue of brakes wearing while making frequents stops at gas pump.
But knowing you pull a trailer on mountain roads, I bet you ride the brakes quite a bit.
My set was 7 tons with camper only, or close to 10 tons with boat and I could drive 200 miles without touching the brakes.
When I don't hesitate to drive 80 mph downhill, engine brake gives me all the braking I ever need.
Yep, a 1200 pound trailer and no I don't ride my brakes at all.
Like I mentioned before, with 216,000 miles on my factory brakes wearing them out is not an issue.
Mine fully loaded only weight about 6 tons.
