2020 PSD owner compares it to his 2019 PSD towing 18K

[ShinerBock]

This just came across my recommended videos on YouTube after watching Fish's 2020 7.3L video. He gives a pretty honest (and long) comparison for this who have a 2017-2019 and are thinking about switching. He also has a Banks iDash so you can see some of the temps although I believe the pyro-meter for the EGT's on the PSD is after turbo just like the CTD is which is about 300-400F cooler than pre-turbo numbers where most aftermarket pyro's are.

2020 FORD SUPERDUTY 10 SPEED TOWING 18,000lbs!

Lol. Another authoritative source. Someone who works for the company touting the abilities of the product they represent. Well done.

I’d be willing to bet if you spoke with someone from Ford/GM/BMW or any other manufacturer they would say the same.

Yep you know who this person is don’t ya. You know where he was when he made the comment don’t ya. Anything else you want to criticize? Since his comment to our group his comments have proven to be true.

Sorry, I don't. Just going by what you typed. Is this person related to the lady that gave you the inside scoop on your visit to the Cummins factory?

Crickets... What?

I asked for your comments on the guys reported fuel economy since you are all about the new 10 speed Fords fuel economy.

Got it... I'm letting the test results speak for themselves.

[Cummins12V98]

One thing I am impressed with is the power at lower rpm’s.

It does look like the ford trannies run hotter than my chev or a Ram.

It has already been discussed. The trans is designed to operate at a higher temp.

some times the design doesn't make it the best or why all the different ideas from the rv .net experts.

He is looking for clarification -

Interesting.

What was his speed compared to the Cummins on the long grade? I still wonder about trans temps, mine would be running 167 at 34k combined same day.

Does that trailer really weigh 10k? Truck should be around 8k. 18k combined???

Sounds like it pulls good even at lower rpm's. I guess people need to decide how important it is to slow the load.

FISH what say you about the mpg???

I'm not sure why there is the insistence that running a low tranny temp is a significant advantage.

If you are running within the normal operating range that is all that matters.

Normal operating temps on most of the cars I rent seem to be 200* or more.
