so you'd take the 6.4 over the 7.3?

mrjohnwayne · 09-17-2007, 04:41 PM

Not sure just yet. I'll know once I put some miles on this one. Still too soon to tell.

This thing does have some unbelievable power straight outta the box though! I still giggle every time I mash the go pedal. the turbos spool up and the back tires start to bark.

Very nice truck. Not a huge blue oval guy, but its hard to beat. what does it have for a trans? any idea what the axle ratios are? Thanks

mrjohnwayne · 09-17-2007, 05:14 PM

its the 5R100 (torqueshift) 5 speed auto with a 3.73 in the rear

72'CaminoKid · 09-17-2007, 09:40 PM

it is a night and day difference between the stock 7.3 and that 6.4

Now my 350 sitting next to it is a different story, but as far as stock to stock go the 6.4 blows the 7.3 out of the water power wise!

GMC- Thanks man!!

ashley, i love the ford diesels. thanks for tellin me that john. i would of expected the 7.3 to be much more powerful just due to the size difference. i'm wrong i reckon. maybe i'll need to go do a test drive
