That is about how much power your truck has without its turbo.

I have to agree. On our first outing this year we had one of the intercooler hoses blow. We only had 24 more miles to go to get home but needed to climb 3000' in those short miles. The spares were at home. I hitched a ride up the mountain and drove back with the hoses. 30 minutes later she pulled the hills again.

My 7.3 without boost is worthless.
