F-650 custom

 

sweet! I would take off those big ugly mudflaps though

 

That's one big truck...it would make even Hummer drivers feel inadequate

 

Unfortunatley you gotta have them on those types of vehicles, at least here in PA you do.

 

:worship:

 

 

That things amazing. Last summer i worked construction and we had F-550s pulling a cat or two and a bunch of tools each. I dont know what the max towing is but these were hauling 25-30,000lbs a piece.




ALL HAIL FORD! :bowdown:

 

How can a 230-hp truck tow such a big load?

 

i dunno what the torques at, maybe 650 or 700. And those things are goin hard, but they can pull em on the freeway at 110kph. I was pretty impressed.

 

Okay, i tried to do a search for that engine. I came up with this PDF about cummins engines for mining and construction:
http://www.cummins.com/eu/pdf/en/plantpower.pdf

so those are the other places you might find this engine....
it lists the 230hp 5.9 litre as having 990N-m of torque which i believe is about 730lb-ft.

lol, and it goes up from there:


Cummins Industrial Power Range
Model No. of Cyl. Capacity Power Max. Torque
A Series 3 & 4 0.9-2.3 litres 13-45 kW 184 Nm
B3.3 4 3.3 litres 44-64 kW 292 Nm
B3.9 4 3.9 litres 55-97 kW 488 Nm
B5.9 6 5.9 litres 90-149 kW 814 Nm
QSB5.9 6 5.9 litres 130-205 kW 990 Nm
C8.3 6 8.3 litres 112-224 kW 1220 Nm
QSC8.3 6 8.3 litres 180-260 kW 1425 Nm
M11 6 11 litres 168-261 kW 1562 Nm
QSM11 6 11 litres 195-320 kW 1900 Nm
N14-N14E 6 14 litres 235-392 kW 2237 Nm
QSX15 6 15 litres 265-490 kW 2780 Nm
QSK19 6 19 litres 336-560 kW 3084 Nm
QST30 12 30 litres 587-783 kW 4630 Nm
KV38 12 38 litres 690-1119 kW 5943 Nm
QSK45 12 45 litres 1119-1492 kW 7871 Nm
KV50 16 50 litres 1194-1492 kW 7255 Nm
QSK60 16 60 litres 1492-2015 kW 10631 Nm
QSK78 18 78 litres 2610 kW 13771 Nm

multiply Nm by about 0.75 to get lb-ft. kiloWatts to hp, its about 1.35

78 liters - 3500hp, 10,300lb-ft... 18 cylindres, 4.33 liters per cylindre.

 

They have enormous amounts of Torque and a much different power band from a gasoline engine.

For example, the Cummins has 520 lb/ft of torque at only 1600 RPM's

The Caterpillar is the strongest engine of all available in a Ford.

7.2L Diesel, 300 HP @ 2200 RPM's and a whopping 860 lb/ft of torque at 1440 RPM's.

 

That one acctually list at 520ftlbs of trq. But with that large amount of toque, you have a awesome allison transmission that is geared perfectly to put that power to the ground and make it a great towing machine.

Funny side note: Thats the same motor Dodge has been putting in their 2500 and 3500 series since 1998 Its a great motor and with a few mods, can make a whole lot more trq.

 

Well, not exactly. That's a standard ISB engine in the Ford, while the Dodge engine is another completely seperate version of the ISB. The non-Dodge ISBs have EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and a rear gear train, and most (maybe all, I'm not sure) have VG (Variable Geometry) turbochargers. None of which are on the Dodge 5.9. There are quite a few different ISBs built, so different turbos and such can be spec'd on them. They're also built to order for individual manufacturers, as opposed to the Dodge engine, which is built to stock.

Until June, both the ISB02 and Dodge 5.9 were built on the same line, but the ISB was moved down to North Carolina to increase production of the Dodge.

The Dodge 5.9 currently puts out 325hp/610lb-ft torque, btw. But just wait for the '07 engine...

 

transmiision and gear ratios are different on these. there are a few of theses around Alberta with all the Oil money flying around here

 

Paul that Roush is gorgeous! Where are you in Alberta? I havent come across any other Calgarians on this site yet.

 

Big time!
