Hi I currently did a research paper in english proving that the Power Stroke is better then the V10. The second part of the project is that I have to get the the opinion of others, so please tell me what engine that you prefer. thanks.
I really cant think of a single reason that the v-10 is better than the diesel.
You know...this was a pretty eye opening question for me, because I've been anti-diesel for as long as I can remember. And I really wanna bash on the 7.3, but I can't think of many good reasons at all why I don't like them. The only petty answers I can think of are:
-up front costs...oil burners cost more off the lot compared to an equally outfitted gasser as well as private party sales
-never really like the way diesels sounded
-not a fan of the black smoke (I know can be minimalized)
-higher fuel costs
-maintenance seems to cost a little more
And really, that's all I can think of. And those really are pretty stupid reasons not to like something. Doesn't mean I'll go out and buy one, but I'll definitely appreciate their versatility and untapped potential a little more
7.3l vs the 5.4 its a big difference, but the v10 is spendy too...
the v10 eats gas, 10 spark plugs and wires? NOT cheap.
Better is a pretty subjective term.....what's the criteria for this comparison?
BTW....welcome!
I took the 7.3 Power stroke and the 6.0 and compared it to the 2-vavle v-10 then the 3 vavle v10 and compared it to the 6.0 and the 6.4. thanks for the response.
I just compared horsepower and torque.
