That's moving right along. One of the magazines timed a brand new, stock, 2003 F350 supercab, 3.73 axle, 6.0L powerstroke with torqueshift at 8.8 seconds, zero to sixty. They then put 2,750 lbs of rocks in the bed and it took 9.9 seconds. The reason I remember this is that the truck was almost identical to the one we had at the time. Ours weiged 7200 lbs with no passengers. Our youngest son, a former Mustang GT owner, was a bit wide-eyed when I had to punch it in a rush hour lane change. His comment was something about "serious throwback power.". Diesels have come a long, long ways. Somewhere around here I still have the link to that test.
