Watching all of the TFL videos I went out and bought the 7.3 with 4.30 gears. I so wanted a Gm but the ike test changed my mind 3 minutes faster is mind blowing. Truck manufacturers should be aware of the influence you have on potential buyers. Mine is a F350 and pulls my 13000 lbs toy hauler through the foot hills of Southern Alberta with ease, better then my 05 5.9 Cummins and the same fuel efficiency.

Great to hear, i prefer gm gas trucks myself, they seem the best value used to me and easier to work on than fords in the engine bay, some of the gas v8 ford trucks are not fun, for example if an exhaust manifold goes out. I prefer the ifs and they are much easier and faster to do alignments on, in the salty NE anyway. But gm is definately behind power and transmissionwise compared to ford and ram. Like toyota tundra, probably played it safe with old design for too long. Its not like they needed to design a whole new engine, theyve had the 7.0 ls7 since the mid 2000s. I dont understand them only using a 6.6 gas direct injection only to replace 6.0. They easily could have made it 7.0 or more, and still only has 6spd, granted its solid. The direct injection only will likely cause carbon buildup without regular cleaning. Be interesting to see how they compare as they age. Im sure gm has more working room underhood, but then has the direct injection to deal with.

I w been telling everyone this. The 7.3 Godzilla pulls better than my stock 2002 7.3 power stroke. And damn near toe to toe with a my other modified 2002 7.3 which has bigger injectors, bigger turbo and intercooler. I’ve discovered the biggest differences to be as followed.. Overall, the 7.3 gas is my go to over my stock 7.3 powerstroke up to 15,000#’s. When I’m hauling a good neck and hay that’s close to 20,000#’s I’ll opt for my modified 7.3 powerstroke. However, the exception is when the modified 7.3 diesel is actually up and running. A modified 7.3 powerstroke is just open to more wrror codes and limp modes due to all the upgrading. So when my modified diesel is down, the 7.3 gas is still up to the challenge of 20,000# loads, it just gets crappy mileage and have to drive 50-55 and can only maintain 50 up steep grades. Overall my everyday driver and preferred tow option is the 7.3 gas

Keeps me in 3rd/4th around town with a 7k landscape trailer. No need for it at 30-35mph. Truck pulls in default mode like the trailer isn’t there and kicks to higher gears saving me gas. 87 daily/tow is what I run 90% of the time. The 87 performance tune was really snappy as well. Love the throttle response vs the stock dead pedal. Zero complaints on this truck or tune after 4K miles now. We shall see how the 10 speed does plowing this winter though.

At the top of this pass, there's about 36% less oxygen than sea level for a given volume of air. Reciprocating engines have many internal static losses that are the same regardless elevation, and their HP rating factors these losses in at sea level, but simply subtracting the available air to an engine does not appropriately account for the static losses because the reduced available air is always "applied" to the wrong figure. A large displacement naturally aspirated 400HP engine actually has to make more like 480HP to have 400HP available at the crank after all reciprocating losses, pumping losses, friction losses, and static load equipment losses are factored in (steering/alternator/AC/etc). Take that 480HP engine and subtract 36% power, then subtract 80HP of static losses. Actual crank HP at the top of this pass is closer to 230HP, or ~43% power loss. Turbo's can correct for a lot of the air loss, especially turbo systems that a are regulated based on absolute and not relative pressure, but even relative systems will cut losses from air by half or better since a turbo's are "decoupled" from engine RPM and will spin at higher speeds when the supply side air is thinner. Smaller engine size also reduces static losses (less reciprocating, less friction, less pumping loss), so a 400HP turbo engine at the top of this pass may only loose ~18% due to elevation, and then, since it's a much lower displacement engine, may have only needed 450HP before static losses to get there... Result: ~320HP available at the top of the pass instead of 230HP. Only ~20% loss in total instead of ~43%. This is why those ecoboost trucks and diesels work so well on these mountain passes when loaded.

Sae figures account for much of what you’re talking about. Crank horsepower is just that. Net rwd horsepower is just that. I think everyone that watches this channel realizes these simple facts. We also know that n/a motors lose hp above sea level, and that forced induction helps with this some. The losses at 10,000 feet or whatever also depends on temperature, humidity etc. basically, my point is that thanks, but we’re all already aware.
@mdocod

@@AnyManProjects Obviously you're not already aware, because SAE does not set any standard for de-rating at elevation. SAE only accounts for those static losses at the crank at sea level. The 3% per 1000ft "rule of thumb" that everyone uses ONLY accounts for the reduced air and has nothing to do with SAE. In this video they said "about 1/3 power loss up here" and while that's roughly true, it's important to note that a massive NA engine will actually be worse than that. Someone might want to know that at the top of that pass their 400HP engine is barely better than 200HP.

I'm paying a lot of attention to the 7.3L towing.. this is where i"m looking to get into an F350 4x4 Crew with max tow, fifth wheel, and gooseneck packages, and 3:73 gears.. friend has one set up like that that's got a 4474# payload and 15k towing cap. He's towing a travel trailer and getting around 15mpg highway untuned.. I'm looking at going to a fifth wheel (14kGVWR).. so hopefully this will be a good option since I don't want a diesel.. blech. Thanks for the video's, I'm looking forward to seeing how this truck keeps performing!

If you want max towing, you’re gonna need 17 inch tires, the 4.30 gears and that also raises your gcwr to 27,500. You’ll be able to pull 19k pounds fifth wheel / 20k goose neck.

@HalfShell Sir, I went over my post again and fail to see where I made mention that the Tundra was an HD. I would beg to differ with the Ram eating the Tundra for a snack but do agree it wins by a truck length in a drag race as it should. Tundra 381/401 w/4.30 Ram 395/410 w/3.92. To each his own on that. RAMS are very nice trucks just not my choice, not going to bash Ram. My point was the stock F250 7.3 is 430/475. The modified F250 had heavier springs and a tune that increases 33/47 at the wheels. Then tows 9500lbs based on the numbers in the video and math not 16k gooseneck, but at what total cost $$. You could put heavier springs on the Tundra and SC it 504/550 and sling 9500lbs up the IKE cheaper. You can also do the same thing to your Ram for less $$. I watch this channel quite a bit and it just seems to me that Ford is prased above all no matter what the cost or modification.

I had the Ford F-150 FX4 twin turbo EcoBoost 2013. With the trailer and the tractor and my implements it was just a little bit over 10,000 pounds. Paying attention to my weight distribution everything was really solid and I put probably about 8,000 miles on my trailer with that F-150 setup. It was completely stock except I had aftermarket wheels and tires. Pulled it easily. I'm not joking or exaggerating it was clean and safe. I recently traded that in for 2020 F350 Lariat with the 7.3 L godzilla. There is a noticeable difference in the control of the vehicle, when it comes to the weight of the trucks, but my F-150 had over 420 foot pounds of torque. It was no slouch and when you're talking about miles per gallon so far with 3,000 miles I have roughly the same miles per gallon that I did with my F-150 EcoBoost and my 7.3 godzilla. My certified used F-350 Lariet was $71,000. I only paid $24,000 for the Certified 2013 F150 Fx4 stock. So take that into consideration when you have to pull a trailer daily.

I doubt that 5 Star tuning has better engineers then the Ford Motor Company. The Ford engineers have found what they consider an acceptable balance of emissions, durability, safety, performance, and MPG's. The tuning companies are doing it different. What the buyer doesn't know is what will be the long term costs of changing the factory tune.

Yes an acceptable balance not optimal and you nailed it is emissions that basically detune the truck. As far as your long term comment I am just one person and traded in at 120000 with no issues. The towing was much better and the gain was about 2.1mpg pulling 28ft travel trailer that weighed around 7000. There are gains to be made and still have reliability and durability.
