Wow is my truck fast. I bought it used so not bragging.
I almost never getting to drive my truck without the TC on it.
Today, after safely arriving in Florida from a 1600 mile trip with a TC and a 12' trailer full of stuff on the truck, I finally got to drive it by itself.
It's got a straight pipe, Edge performance computer, plus all the mods for the weight.
So I thought I'd see what it can do. I was going hard. I can spin the tires a bit in almost every gear. And that's not popping the clutch. That's proper shifting with no torque applied until my foot is off the clutch pedal. Then press the accelerator and the tires lose grip a little in every gear but 6th, as it pushes you back in the seat. . Around 1800+ RPMs it feels like the power band of a dirt bike.
I was going 80 with everyone on the highway today and let it creep up to 90. Then I floored it. It STILL pushed me back in my seat.
Way too squirrely to push any harder than that without the TC on the back. Suspension and wheels and tires way too stiff and bouncy for it to be safe to push it any faster.
I assume some of you with modded diesel trucks can relate.
This thing is WAY more powerful than my first car was. A Mustang 5.0 Gt.
I’m astounded the difference the diesel torque makes when you use it for speed.
Before anyone yells at me, I'm done being a maniac. Just wanted to see what she can do. Cruised comfortably at 75 with TC and 12' trailer for 1600 miles. Cruises comfortably at 80 all day long with the TC. Empty, it's a freaking* rocketship. Unbelievable acceleration.
Just felt like sharing in case others have modded trucks.
