Why do you love your Powerstroke?

[Tail_Gunner]

Like I said in another thread, Mrs TG and I went camping this past weekend.

On the way there, I was stuck behind another RV trailer being pulled by a pickup. After several miles of not being able to get around him, we came to a passing lane. Since it started at the bottom of an uphill grade, maybe calling it a truck passing lane would be more accurate.

Anyhow, as the one lane turned into two, I get into the left passing lane and give it a little bit of right foot pressure. Without even downshifting out of O/D, I pick up speed as I go up the hill. The amount of go pedal I give it limitied by keeping the needle on the EGT gauge <1200*. As I get along side, I see it's a GM 1/2 ton gasser pulling a smaller trailer than mine. He's clearly struggling to get to the top without loosing too much steam. By the time we get to the top of the hill, I'm a good 30 vehicle lengths ahead of him and pulling away.

That's why I love my truck!!!!

This is my first Powerstroke and I am really liking it. I have been wanting a diesel again since I traded in my 01 Dodge Cummins 2 years ago. At the time I couldn't afford a diesel so I went with a 1/2 ton hemi. Huge mistake. I finally had enough of the gasser and started shopping around. I didn't like how little room there is in the back of the Dodge quad cab and the mega cab is just hideous so Dodge was out. That left Ford and GM and GM uses IFS on its truck so that eliminated GM. That only left Ford and I haven't found any reason to regret the purchase (except the payment of course).

How much do I love my Powerstroke..................Let me count the ways!

It's cool when you can see others talking about your truck, maybe you can't hear them, but you can read their lips when they say, "Man, look at that truck, that thing is bad!"
