He has one. What’s in the big truck? Maybe he drives two?
Yup, Cummins with something like 1700 lb/ft torque

How are you liking the power of this compared to the 8.1 suburban you sold. I still Love my 8.1.

I think the 8.1 would outpull this? It’d be fun to find out. TOTALLY different engine. You drive this like it’s a small block. The 8.1 just grunts kind of like a diesel and gets stuff done. The V10 kind of grunts but needs some revs as well. It’s not bad, just not the same

I wish it was that high. I would like to throw it on a dyno sometime and see what it does. I would guess I am in the 550 to 600 hp range with 900 to 950 on the torque

One of my favorite quotes is
"Horsepower sells cars. Torque wins races."
My work truck only has 460 HP.

Wheels look much better!

I tried not to go chrome but it just seems to fit the truck better with the steps and huge grille/bumpers. I need to figure out some center caps for the front. For some reason, I like access to my locking hubs.
I'll have to buy all new ball caps with the 20" wheels and keep them flat billed?
Are splash guards still a thing? Not sure if they'd look good or not but you can see they'd be kind of handy. I'll look for some OEM units and see what I find

Those wheels look nice. I'm not one for the all blacked out look though. I had black wheels on my black Jeep for the past 7 years and they looked ok but I wanted a bit of contrast this go 'round. I think you made the right call on wheels.

What did you do with the old wheels? They were 18's right?
I added factory splash guards f/r on my Ram when I got it. They’re nice, hard plastic ones. I expect F*rd has something similar.

They are for sale. I have them on KSL for $675. MUCH rather sell to an RME'er with no bull shit for $600 and I'd be willing to meet halfway along the Wasatch Front. I'm in Woods Cross.

Here’s a couple of “cleaned up” pics I took the other day. It had a trip to Idaho Falls yesterday (the EcoBoost has a misfire on cyl 4) and got 11.3 mpg on the way up and 10.4 on the way back. I think I had a bit of a tailwind up there and a bit of a headwind on the way back? I need to 5% correct that for tire size but that’s still pretty much what I expected for fuel mpg. Even up Malad pass from the north, the truck didn’t really come out of cruise. Coming from the south, it didn’t even downshift. From the north it did downshift and hit about 3200 rpm on the tach. I’m a little anxious to tow with this beast. Curious how it will compare to the 8.1 Sub
