I had an 03 6.0L powestroke that went 8.80 in the 1/8 with just a edge juice, while the truck was fast it was great then all these problems started popping up. I removed the box drove it for a while tranny started slipping, pushing through the brakes, engine would not idle. Fors would not stand behind there product, tried to get me to admit I had a box on it, nope no falling for that one, tried to void my warranty because of a pillar 3 gauge pod and kn filter. End up trading it in for my 03 chevy cc. Ford needs to work all their problems out on the 6.0L before they start strapping twin turbos on a motor. And while they are at it why don't they revamp that sick *** 5.4 they put in the f150, that motor is a joke.

The upcomiong Toyota diesel is supposed to be putting out 500hp and 700ft-lb of torque. I think that is going to be in 2007.

No link. Apparently it was in a Car and Driver snippet. This is according to the TDR guys. I don't subscribe to the magazine so I can't verify that. Nissan is supposed to release a diesel in the titan (or something similar) in 2007 but that's just rumor at this point.

Default 2006 Duramax

I just bought my 2006 Duramax. WOW. That outta just about sum it up. I looked at Dodge and Ford both, but I must say that I am most certainly GM biased. Just to let everyone know, the Chevy loaded out was only $1000 more than Dodge. I got mine for just over $40K w/ttl. My new truck is a 2006, 2x4, 4 door, dually, LT trim.
