Well its a 15 ford which has the new turbo, bigger pump and injectors but still people don't realize how muxh gearing helps
Makes me think I should've put in 4.56 gears instead of 4.11
does the ford run a larger tire dia then the chevy? 4.30 gears seem pretty steep on 32" tall tiresOh well, makes me wonder what rpm the ford tach's at on the freeway at 70mph though?
they both look good but at 50-60k to replace what i have i think the lbz will stick around for a while

Yes they have always run a larger tire factory
not THAT much larger....
the gearing advantage that the Ford has is ridiculous. Its no surprise that the Ford beat the pants off the GM! Make it a fair contest (get a Ford with 3.73's) and THEN redo the race.
That F-350 probably sucks with 4.30's anyways. The fuel economy will be shit and the thing will be screaming on the highway.

no jason, they mpg would have been your gripe
see below
I like it. Fits the new body style better. Like it's more "filled in". I thought I read they have an aluminum hood? Wonder how well that'll withstand hail?
New truck looks very nice GM did a fantastic job with the new HD!
Just curious but why will the next new Duramax not be a joined effort as in the past?

Why do they need to? They've already learned everything they need to know about how to make a good diesel engine from Isuzu....so why spend the cost and effort to outsource it.
I asked my Allison source if I should be looking at the 2014 and he told me to hold off till 2016.
He is the same guy that told me what was coming at the end of 2010. So I'm going to wait.
I'm not sure I like all these LEDs on the headlights nowadays. Looks a little like euro trash to me. Trucks do look sharp though and the interior is beautiful.
