new Ford 7.3 gas with 3.55 axle ratio, does it work?

You guys going on about high RPM's, that is the truck running at max overload in the ROCKIES. Worst case scenario. That IS diesel territory but this is showing if NEEDED the 7.3 can do it as well, just not as pretty.

With a TC on the back unless it is some behemoth overloaded TC you won't be running those RPM's.

So carry on, yes diesel is better in SOME situations and we know that.

Come drive US Highway 50 across Nevada. 8 summits to climb, each at close to 8000 feet elevation...and a few that are only around 6000 feet. At any rate, gaining ~ 4000 feet in elevation in just a few miles - then dropping down the other side and then doing it all again for multiple mountain ranges.
