RAM EcoDiesel a Flop for Towing

Perhaps you should read your own link. It confirms that one PS is the equivalent of 98.6 % of one mechanical HP. What has changed is the way engines are tested and according to the C&D article, the test protocols are almost identical, resulting in differences of less than 1% which for all you or I know could fall on the European side.

You keep looking at what metric horsepower is converted to imperial. That is not what I am talking about. You spoke of European numbers and why they were much higher, and I told you it was because they use different methods to rate their power. I did say anything about conversion. If they used different methods as pointed out in that article that certain Eurpoean countries do, then it does not matter what the metric to imperial conversion is.

Weren't you the one who stated the ED had the higher compression ratio. Improving flow and cooling the intake charge are just other methods of raising manifold pressure.

Yes I did. The Ecoboost has a compression ratio of 10:1 with a while the Ecodiesel is a compression ratio of 16.5:1, but what does that have to do with your initial statement of how you think the 2.7L Ecoboost is more stress since it makes more power?

You throw the fanboy label around pretty loosely for someone who doesn't post what he drives in either a signature or profile.

I drive a 2014 Ram 2500 CTD and a 2011 F150 Ecoboost if you want to know. I have mentioned that I drove a Ram 2500 in a few of my posts in here if you read.

One thing you will never see me do on this forum is trash someone else's ride.

Then why did you say the 2.7L is more "stressed" in comparison to the Ecodiesel when your clearly didn't have the data to back that up?

So you're the only one around here allowed to challenge opinions. Someone should have told me. Wait a minute, you just did.

I did not say that. You are putting words in my mouth again. I said that you keep responding to me and challenging my opinion so I keep responding. Where do you get that I said I am the only one that can challenge peoples opinions? Keep quoting me, and I will keep responding no matter how long this gets dragged out.
