Well Ford Without A Doubt Makes A Tougher Better Truck Than Dodge But The Cummins Is A Little Better,when They Haven't Sucked A Valve.

IMO you have seen to many ford commercials

It proved that some people are stupid enough to stand under anything.

What about the F150 lifting the semi? How much reduction was in the pulley system?

That Ford knows how to make a strong bolt... maybe they should have the "bolt" engineers fix the motor...

I'm not sure what metric size and property class that bed bolt is but a simple 1/2 inch grade 8 bolt can have a tensile strength somewhat north of 100K pounds. Funny how they make such a big deal about holding a 6 or 7K pound truck. If only they could be as proud of the 6"oh".

I've been wondering the same thing myself. Looks like about 3:1. With that kind of reducers, I should be able to easily lift a loaded rail car. I'll just need a couple of those Furd bolts and I'm all set.

You could probably find some of them bolts behind the Furd place. In the stack next to the engines.

This thread is hilarious!



I had a customer in Chicago who made those bolts, trust me, there is nothing special about them :-laf



Of course the Cummins has to work harder because it has less cylinders

The Ford guys could only hope.....

A friend of a friend keeps telling me the new motor int he Ford is going to be made by CAT. I just keep letting him think that and laughing. It's ok though, everyone but him knows he is a pathological liar.
