Yep, just went out and looked, it has dual alternators. I didn't even realize it.I think the dual alternator setup is part of a dual battery package

I'll be 50 in December. I'm 6' and a very slim 240 lbs.You're still young with your seat that way back or you're 6'3+. The older I get the more my seat creeps forward.
Yeah, Davidson's was great. Burdick Chevy/GMC was horrible.Nice truck! I'm liking ford's newer big pushrod v8s.
You must be local to me. I drive by Davidson Ford frequently.
Can you tell me what the HP/Torque levels are this model year for that 6.8L?To get the 7.3L, I needed to add other packages that were thousands $$$ more, plus $1704 to get it. I wasn't going to spend that much. My last truck was a 2015 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi. It had all the power I ever needed. This truck makes similar power, I'm happy with it.

I often look at 50's, 60's, 70's, etc & when you look at the styling overall, between manufacturers, they were all copying from each other & certainly still do as you've nicely pointed out. I bet those bumper steps are handy & wished my truck had them.Interesting that Ford now has the GM bedside and bumper end steps. Probably hurts a little to outright copy a feature but a good thing is a good thing. I use the ones on the GMC all the time.
Good looking no-nonsense truck.![]()
I believe the 6.8L v8 is 405 HP and 445 TQ. My Ram was 410HP and 429 TQ. This one has the 10 spd. and 3.73's, my Ram had a 6 spd. and 4.10's.Can you tell me what the HP/Torque levels are this model year for that 6.8L?
same block, smaller displacement. they also use lighter materials in it, to improve fuel economy. its their everyday truck engine. if you're towing heavy day and day out, get the 7.3.The duratracs are a nice tough. Good looking truck. Congrats.
The 6.8 is a "mini" 7.3 correct?

I know I'll get some flac but I think this newer Ford design is better than 6.4L. But it sounded like both have served you well. Thanks for the information & that is plenty of giddy up power.I believe the 6.8L v8 is 405 HP and 445 TQ. My Ram was 410HP and 429 TQ.

The 10 spd. is geared lower than the 6 spd. was. I can't tell the difference in power between the two. So, I'm happy with the 6.8L.

Yeah, I heard the 6.4L's had lifter issues. I put just under 115k miles on it with no issues. The truck was awesome, just started to wear out. So, I wanted to try a Chevy/GMC or Ford this time.I know I'll get some flac but I think this newer Ford design is better than 6.4L. But it sounded like both have served you well.
