Dang you two, just accept that year for year a Diesel will out tow a gasser!
I would put each of the big threes, diesels up against their gas engines, no match!
I pull a 11K fiver up 7% grades, and can accelerate to the 55 mph speed limit while doing so, only addition to my 01, is a simple Power Puck 50 hp and about 150 ft. lb. of torque, running 3.55 gears.
If it was gas with those gears it would be doing 35 mph at the top of the hill! I hate to think what it would do with 4.10's!!!
I've run both gas and diesel and both do the job. My question is... if diesel is so much better then gas why do so many diesel owners chip their engines? Even yours must have been lacking that you had to chip it. Sure don't see it as much on the gas side.
7% slopes? Why not a real hill? With my gas engine a 7% is nothing. I do 18 % and there are some who tow hills even steeper and we haven't chipped our engines an extra xxhp and xxx torque.
Much, much more $$$ to HP ratio in a gas engine. If gassers could get the same gains out of a couple hundred dollar box, they would.
Are you jealous?;)
