Stock 5.9 makes more power than 6.7!

[JDiepstra]

According to the September issue of Diesel Power (Don't ask me why they sent me the September issue in July) on page 186, the stock 5. 9 made 269 hp at 2,550 RPM and 594 lb-ft of torque at 2,300 RPM. The 6. 7 put down 259 hp at 2,850 RPM and 487 lb-ft at 2,750 RPM. More power at less RPM's. I'll stick with my 5. 9!

Thank the tree huggers and EPA - who together, gave us LESS, for more...

Funny how a group of un/underemployed 20 to 30 something year old hippie, tree hugging, sandle recycling, handout reveiving, pot-smoking burnout, never make anything of their own life whiners can have such an impact huh?

How does it sound, and what's the mpg? Thanks.



I'll have to read the Sept. issue again. Tire size, gear, etc. , all makes a difference. Is it possible they were testing an '07, 6. 7l at 305?

 

[JDiepstra]

They actually took the tires off the 6. 7 and put them on the 5. 9 cause the 5. 9 originally had bigger tires. But, dyno's were run with exact same tires. Don't know about the gear though.

It's the "squeaking wheel" syndrome - the 20 year-old bearded unemployed pot smokers have LOTS of free time to take up causes and carry signs - and demanding higher taxes for THEIR unemployment handouts, while guys like you and me are busy at work - paying the bills - AND taxes... #@$%!



Unfortunately, they are numerous - like head lice - they vote, and nearly outnumber the rest of us...

Lotta truth in that statement... .

 

[Dbonzi]

The thing that drives me nuts is, our (bribe taking) government listens to them

 

[AABEN]

Well boys lets keep it to the post!! We do not need to read about POT. THANKS

 

[kowaliga]

Pass that thang, buddy

Legislators aim to snuff out penalties for pot use - CNN.com

"The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government's business. "

"We do not arrest and jail responsible alcohol drinkers,"

Yea my Grandfather use to tell me how bad pot was and all the things it will do to me. The funny thing was he told me this while chugging down a water glass of Old Crow and puffin on a Camel straight!
