i think the 5.4 gasser is louder, i drove both and the diesel is pretty damn quiet. what a difference going from the loud 7.3, <---still a great truck though.

Sweet. Can't wait to see pics of the new truck. I also drove one a while back and can't wait to have one of my own.

fwiw my brother has a duramax/allison...and id say its marginally
quieter than my 6.0L at idle in the drive way...goin' down the
freeway @ speed theyre evenly matched in silence.

the new (ford) 6.4L takes CONCENTRATION to confirm that its a
diesel...at idle or low speed.
