nathan w. collier wrote with all the internet diesel debates going on i decided it was time to take the bull by the horns and test them all for myself. i took an 05 cummins powered 3500 dodge ram an 05 power stroke powered ford f350 king ranch and an 05 duramax powered 3500 chevy silverado and i put them together head to head in an all out blood bath death-match. im just the tester who tested these trucks. please dont be angry with me if you dont like the results....im just a messenger here bringing you a message of factual scientific results based upon reasonable expectations and real world testing. http//inlinediesel.com/deathmatch dial up beware! now what youre missing as far as i am concerned is a 10000 lb trailer pull from georgetown co to the eisenhower tunnel. georgetown is at 8500 feet and the entrance to the eisenhower tunnel is at 11000 feet. the distance is about 12 miles and it is uphill all the way. at 11000 feet there is 2/3 as much air as at sea level and your normally aspirated 300 hp truck will have 200 hp. a steep hill climb at high elevation is where a turbocharged vehicle shows its real colors. if i lived in a low flatland id be just as happy with a gas v8. i have a jeep cherokee and a saab 900 turbo both about 18 years old. jeep is about 200 lbs or so heavier 3100 vs 2900 but has about 11% more rated hp 177 vs 160. at 11000 feet the saab will suck the doors off the jeep there is no comparison! at high elevation the turbo vehicle is the one to drive! charles. .
