Last night I ended up watching some videos on youtube of the new 6.7 Scorpion powerstroke. Most if not all were acceleration videos showing how fast it is. My brother even came to me saying it would beat my truck after he rode in one. So I found a video that showed "when you are passing someone" going from 75-95, I went out and video taped my truck in the exact same conditions. We both were holding steady at 75 then floored it. I spent half an hour getting the videos synced perfectly since he did lag for a second after saying go, I wanted it to be fair so I synced them based on when the speedos started moving. I never care to race or anything, I just thought it would be a neat comparison vid. There are a lot of 0-? vids of the 6.7 and I am going to sync one of them to one of my old acceleration videos. I was trying to get it split screened but I think you can see it just as good this way. I am still trying to figure out the split screened way.

I love the comment from the guy... "Gotta pull the cab to work on anything!" At least a Dodge doesn't require that...

Exactly, that is insane! Crazy how many little things can go wrong with one of those new v8 diesels. SOOO many emissions things all over it that are just insanely expensive. Then not to mention just the overall design of the engine is not meant for serviceability. For example, the lifters. Fords, the 6.0 and 6.4 have roller lifters that are prone to failure and destroying the entire engine. To replace them you have to completely remove the engine from the truck and pull the crank out. Just insanity. Then you look at the cummins and that is a relatively easy task but hey you never have to worry about it because they are flat and no moving parts. Stuff like that.

Great video Mike. Reminds of me and the wife when I was in my 30 and 40s hauling wood out warm river in a 72 Chev 1/2 ton long bed, on retreads, wood stacked higher then the cab. Love the woods and the smells of the cut pine, and 2 stroke chain saw....

I would NEVER buy a Ford after watching all of this guys videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zxXmiz6dvQ.... What a crap motor to work on. http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=I_dhaWv9Z4k&feature=related

Yeah, that is pathetic, I can imagine the posts that are going to be in the Ford Diesel forums in the next couple of year. "shop charged me $4000 to change the glow plugs" I know I expressed intrest in the new Ford diesel when I first heard about it, but I did not expect it to be such a nightmare to repair. Not that I was going to be first in line to buy one. I would buy a Dodge, or put a flat bed on big blue first.
