I would also like an engine like that, but I doubth that with 240 lb/feet of tq the engine would need to rev past 6.5k rpms.

 

When I'd be in my buddy's dodge 3500 I'd smoke ppl out whenever I got the chance. It's hilarious when you're on the other side of that 5 inch exhaust. That dually was putting down 405hp and probably over 700lb/ft of tq.

 

CO2 is just fuel burn. CO2 is not like carbon monoxide or soot, which can be cleaned up by better technology. All the carbon that goes in to the engine is going to come out as CO2 no matter whether the technology is modern or not.

 

Bummer, everyone hates that!

That's why people think diesels suck so bad, my '06 doesn't smoke at all, even at WOT. Now if I chipped it and re-did the exhaust it would probably smoke like a tractor but I prefer a cleaner burn, at least an invisible burn. Don't know why people think they need sooo much more pwr out of the more modern trucks, the only reason I say modern is because they already have GOBS of power. Personally 600 ft lbs of torque is plenty for what I haul, alot of the guys chipping and hopping up they're trucks don't even use them as trucks, sort of a psuedo hot rod, doesn't make sense to me. If it were a 10 yo deisel, maybe I could see opening it up some but my '97 w//225 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque was even enough for what I do, just not enough truck.

 

Yea the truck i'm talking about actually was never used as a truck while my boy owned it. The only thing it did as a truck was pick up my ap2 wheels in broward. It was a fun tho..

 

Most trucks are built on a simple subframe, similar to an upside down table, with the body attached on top. If a truck was in a side impact, say goodbye to the driver and/or his/her legs.

Most of those things were built to easily accept modification for industrial use. IMO, they are what they are, and nothing really shines about them.

And, yes, newer gen diesels are cleaner than many modern petrol burners. Anyway, goodluck w/ the hillbillies, youre not the only ones who cant stand them.

 

^^ Ban???

 

That's so cool man!

People like you should get a fist full of Abraham Lincoln's from the change compartment to the front grill

 

I'd say 95% of the pick up trucks out there are not used for what they were made for. Then worse off, people chip them, floor it, and use half the worlds gas reserve along with severly polluting all the air around their big ass exhaust outlets.

And people wonder why we have energy problems

 

not so much from real truck people but i am getting harassed by ricer.

there's 4 "JDM" wannabe civic revv'ing and tailgating me at the freeway entrance, my s is relatively stock and stock looking just to give you an idea how bad it is.

it happens at least twice everyday, always some idoit with honda.

it's almost like they have something to proven to their highschool gf or something.
