Neither crossed the scale since it was a half ass redneck pull with no officials to inspect anything. We threw a dozen tractor weights in the back of the LLY. Neither hung weight on the front.

I wouldnt compare any 6.4 unless it had a Spartan or simular. My buddy that had one that was a regular cab that was 200 pounds heavier than the crew cab lbz I had, ran a 8.09@84mph at our local 1/8th mile track on a spartan 275 tune. I watched one at the world finals last year with a 6 inch lift kit, crew cab king ranch that weighed in at 8500#'s run 12.70's and then 12.20's with spray. Head studs, bigger injectors, trans and tuned. Tires I'm guessing was atleast 36 inches tall and 12 inches wide or more. Pretty impressive being a fat big. I'm sure there will be even more this year in Topeka. Being a drag racer even though I like Fords, I wouldnt try and make one run with a dmax. HP to weight is key.
i think that the fords have a lot of potential if taken care of properly. if you take the dpf and egr off from the get go then they dont give many problems other then cracking radiators and burnt transmissions on big tunes. i would never, ever buy a high mileage one. they are finiky bastards. if you let the oil go so much as a few hundred miles over due with the dpf still on them, fuel will seep past the rings when the injector is dumping fuel on the exhaust stroke to clean that stupid ass dpf resulting in fuel in the oil that wears out the tips of the rocker arms in no time. also the 6.4's are not like the 6 leakers when it comes to the egr coolers. if one leaks on a 6.0 and it hydrolocks, you just drain the coolant out and go on about your business. not on the 6.4's, they bend number 2 and number 8 rods when they hydrolock for some reason. and not to mention that i get so tired of hearing all the ford guys saying, " yeah, these things make huge power with minimal cost." my ass! to do an egr delete properly your looking at north of 2 grand for the system that uses a wastegate, and if you just block them off, they make too mnuch boost on bigger tunes and will eventually lift the heads resulting in a bigger repair bill. sorry for the long post, im just bored.
