My own father has stomped my *** with with 7.3 power stroke. Diesels are nothing to snub your nose at. All it takes is a chip and they will put away new mustangs.

the same thing happened to me, I managed to come out ahead though, those dodge 3500's gotta slow down for sharp corners.

Ummm not really when some of them are pusing around 3 to 4 times the amount of torque as you and aboot twice to three times your horsepower.

My brother has an '05 Ram 2500 with a Cummins and it ran a 14.4 with just a Bullydog tuner and a straight piped exhaust on 35" tires.
My Mustang ran a best of 15.339 with alot more done to it than his truck.
Its definately fast for a 7800 pound truck.
