[QUOTE="andymarkv, post: 16566496, member: 102900"] It was a really nice truck! I liked everything about it, but was a unusual combination, 7.3/10sp/4.30's regular cab long bed. I will say my initial impression was incorrect because I went in with the wrong mind set. 7.3's are super strong, but obviously it is a 3/4 ton truck, not a Mustang/fast street car. Not its purpose. It was pretty quick, but I think with the short factory tires, the 4.30's kept the 7.3 out of the meat of the powerband. I bet in this instance, it would have felt better from the butt dyno with 3.73's where you could use the 7.3 torque. It seemed a little out of breath because with the 4.30's and 10sp it basically sat at redline and shifted. A tune that helps extend the RPM range or bigger tires to knock down the gearing a little would probably make it just about perfect. I'm sure it would be a pulling MF'er! Definitely felt great cruising around and if the "sport mode" shift strategy is similar to the F150, it would feel even lighter on its feet. [/QUOTE]
