Think I just found my back-up dumptruck!

Did a little looking around. There is a ton of info on that engine. Looks like 238hp for natural aspiration and 275 for the turbo.

I thought it was in the 210-240HP range. I drove 2 cycle Detroits in the past in tandems & tri-axles and they call them "Screaming Jimmies" because they like to be run right up against the governor (revved). They make good power when you run them that way, where most diesels like to be lugged more down low. You could beat the heck out of them and they liked it. :laughing:

Looks like a fantastic deal for you. Kinda hard to believe your gonna buy a ford though . maybe when you paint it, you could pull all the emblems and go incognito

Why? I've owned more Fords than any other brand of truck.
I currently own an F-150!!!

I don't know why you guys confuse my liking of my '07 GMC over the '07 Ford 6L superduty with some kind of overall bias against Ford.

This Ford does have a GM/Detroit Diesel engine in it......:laughing:

You realize how you're supposed to drive a Jimmy, slam the door on your hand then stay mad at it! They were also mentioned in the Bible (at the end of time there will be creatures crawling and screaming on the face of the earth). Enjoy your classic.

I've always heard the 'V' types called "Double Breasted Yamaha's."
