Okay, I obviously got a coupla things to get cleared up.
Truck info, it is an 03 F-650 with a 5.9 and Allison Auto, it is under 26k GVWR and it normally runs at around 18-20K. I DID NOT have a thing to do with buying the POS. The idiots who did deserve to be shot for committing a travesty (they had the frame cut WAY down it has a 12 ft bed on it). Having said that, the truck has enough power to pull hills and maintain speed just fine. It has enough power to make it to Interstate speeds fairly well. I know a bit about loaded trucks, used to run Mack R's grossing at 80-100K, now that is SLOW!
Here's the deal, my truck has the same engine, fairly modified, when I am hooked to my camper I cross the scales at 23K. I have 0 problems pulling, passing, merging or outrunning with it. I know the engine is capable of enough power to make the F-650 it's in run like a scalded ass ape IF I WANT IT TO.
All I am looking for is a bit more HP to help in acceleration, with it being a 24V that means a box, but since the engine is not a "stand-alone" unit that means something that will work with the Ford puter. Is there such a unit out there??? I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
As for the bashing of the engine, having driven trucks that are of similar weight I am very glad this truck does have the 5.9, the 7.3 does not have the grunt of the 5.9 and the Cat is way to costly to upgrade, albeit it is a stronger motor "out of the box".
Ideal for me would be a "plug and play" box similar to the Edge EZ, not a lot of fuel or air added, but just enought to make a nice difference.
Thanks,
Billy
