The 12v starts at zero better than a powerstroke does at 80*. There's never the need to haul around a cam sensor and the 12v can throw down 450 in stock trim pretty easy. It took me injectors, turbo work and tunes to get into the 400 club with my 7.3.

The 7.3 is a great engine and I love my excursion, but the 12v is simply better in every way.


The biggest issue with the 12v is the stuff Chrysler bolted to it.

This includes the Dodge truck.





While mine is a much better than average sample, I agree that the superduty is simply a better truck. If they would have put a 12v in a 99era ford....they'd have never sold another truck.
