generally they take quite a bit of abuse, especially at the track. I beat mine on a daily basis. it's when the trucks are drive easy their whole life and babied they seems to break a lot more vs. beaten and well maintained. I change parts before they break generally, some things are unforeseen and you can't do that, but some can be prevented. I plan to tackle the weak links before they hit and take out other stuff when the let go.

Ya, i know all about that, i only have a 7x14 bri hd dump trailer and big tex 18' 10pi landscape trailer and tow them with the 7.3. If that thing melts a motor i can replace it for 2000. The 6.4 not so cheap. i don't race anyone with any trailers behind me, thats just asking for trouble. I've only towed with 6.4 a few times. It might be my new lawn truck leave the landscape trailer hooked to it all week and leave the dump trailer attached to the 7.3 i hate switching trailers. Especially more then once a day.

Ya, I don't get to wild with it. It's usually pretty obvious what's going to happen before we break 45 to 50. My MM is set to defuel if anything gets to wild. And definitely not around a bunch of other vehicles. Not interested in killing anybody

Ya. I guess we're just outlaws out here haha. I like the track but it gets way better on the street

Bunch of girls.... Who doesn't like slipping the tranny with a trailer on??? Hahaha I floor it when I have an empty horse trailer... Lol but it actually weighs a little substantial so less worries about it getting squirrely. I like the racket my 6.7 makes when it has an empty trailer on it and I romp on it!!

What racket. The only thing you hear is those cockstars whining and the trailer clattering. It's a 6.7 remember, ya don't hear chit. It just goes.

bigaF250 · May 2, 2014

I was gonna ask what it is that the 6.7 does unless it's falling apart?

I've noticed this "RedRice" fellow calls a lot of decently fast vehicles slow.... His keyboard must be turbocharged

That, and he is gay

I know, my goal is to stay slow, but be faster then mustang gt500's m5's, audi r8 corvette's, ferrari's, and so on....still slow, but faster then them.

a 59/75 with some 60% nozzles and midwest dual fueler kit will help with that.

I agree with him it will be slow still, but faster then 95% of the cars or trucks on the roads near me. fast is a 8 or 9 second mustang or corvette. or whatever...and I don't see many of those around here. there are a few, but they aren't driven daily. my truck is driven daily and will might even tow a small trailer on a weekly basis.

I'm not gonna quote both of you but all I'm saying is your shiz is slow... And gay. And you can talk about my key board but I'm gonna laugh at both of you because I've been there 3 times already when in the famous words of Roy Slaughter "#smellslikesuccess" and I shall laugh!!! And hug you because I felt your pain!!!
