[QUOTE="SID297, post: 16192324, member: 8858"] So I know you're wondering, just how much of that diesel power actually makes it to the ground? The answer is damn near all of it. Ford's powertrains have gotten so good at reducing parasitic loss that we often wonder if they are simply just under-rating their engines. While that may have been the case when the Terminators were rolling off the line, the Feds keep a pretty close eye on the certified power ratings now. Power number manipulating shenanigans seem to be a bit more rare these day.
