Yeah, but that first one was hilarious. U see how those tires spun? A friend has a F-350 diesel that will spin like that in 4 wheel drive from a dead stop on dry pavement without any sort of brakes or line lock. The only reason the ford lost is because it sat so high in the back that it bounced, i would of added weight.

where i live, we have truck pulls every year at the fair where they hook the truck to the sled and see how far they can drag it, every year ford takes all the places and the chevy guys get humiliated because their truck will die out or the suspension is so weak that the bumper is amost touching the ground.

HA HA, I know it. My uncle sent me the video, he got it from over at www.got-pressure.com and I was like oh kool, a whole new meaning is brought to hooking chains, but the ford lost traction....

Oh and by the way, due to the new Ford Discount my uncle is looking at 05 F-350 6.0 Diesels But it would replace his blown F-150

Yes they are, but at our county fair, Ford takes all the spots The dodge's do good though. The Chevy's, well they perform as good as a 00 V6 automatic mustang would against a ford GT

Or perhaps it's because the Dodge has 40 lb-ft of torque more than the Ford!

Ford makes a better overall truck, but the Cummins engine has a leg up on the Navistar.

Ford's times are still better in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 and everything, fords truck is geared better. and those are older diesels, so the dodge doesnt have more torque that model year i dont think
