I’m loving my 23 lariat HO. I have a late-build 22 Powerstroke too and they both get excellent mpgs! I did notice the 23 new emissions system is a bit of a DEF drinker but that’s ok with me …so glad I went with the HO!
Man I miss your 4th gen Cummins video's. Not much of a Ford fan I've had a few and 2 of the 3 failed. One blew a head gasket the other had the ecm fail. My Ram has never let me down.
I switched to Ford in 22 and have been researching how the exhaust brake works. 1. Manually downshift to get rpm’s up Or 2. The exhaust brake is tied to the abs system. The harder you apply the brakes will equally cause the exhaust brake to be more aggressive as well.
I got a 2016 and 2018 and the 2016 exhaust brake works way better than the 2018 exhaust brake by a lot im not sure why but on the 2016 it starts braking by itself as soon as you let of the gas but on my 2018 it takes a while for it to actually work I have to press on the brake more but on the 2016 I don’t even press on the brake at all both are deleted trucks as well so it’s interesting
This was my findings too with my old 21. Blip the throttle to downshift if I have some time before i need to slow and the exhaust break would kick in fully. Nothing like my new 23 Cummins thought, that would just kick in after releasing throttle
The thi g with the Ford(I have a 2019 and 2020) is you need to tell it what you want to do. If you hold the brake(brake lights on don't press the brake) for 2 seconds it will downshift. Depending on the steepness of the grade it will drop one or two gears. Repeat the process and it will drop another. The 10 speed is lame at the top(three OD gears) vs the 6 speed. This is some thin that goes back to the 4R100 transmission. You can get it to drop out of OD just by holding the brake lights on for 2 seconds. My 2019 has 120,000km(75,000miles) and the 2020 is at 76,000km(45,000 miles) and both tow, and still on original pads and rotors. I use the engine every time I drive.
Cummins power, Paul would you in the feature be doing a 5th gen 6.7 ram hydraulic lifters swap for solid lifters? I don’t know if you have checked there is a company that offers this conversion kit for about $1400, the hydraulic lifters achilles foot of a 6.7 cummins
On a downhill when you lock in to hold a gear Will the Ford hold the gear like ram Does? Or does it automatically upshift. My uncle has a twenty two Chevy duramax and on downhill's if he locks in a Gear It. automatically upshifts. Thanks for the videos and update👍
With my 17. Being deleted. I’ve went down many grades with using engine brake. I honestly think after delete it made improvements. It’s definitely noticeable. I’ve never had issues with holding myself back. The only “negative” is I feel the truck will be riding such a high rpm it honestly feels terrible. It also will have a hard downshift or with the engine brake being tied to the brakes. When I hit the brake sometimes just to slow down a hair. It’ll slam down a gear and slow me way down.
Nothing going to beat the Cummins exhaust break the more weight you put behind it the better it holds just like the X15 Cummins in the big rigs. Ford got a long way to go.
I was just at the dealer spec'ing out a new 2024 F-450 XLT. I prefer the Cummins but they're actually a lot more money, and their "UConnect" systems are flakey as hell. I currently have a 2005 Dodge G56 6sp maual with 155k that I've had for 16 years, and it has a PacBrake on it that works "okay." It has a 450hp tune and does a pretty decent job with my truck camper and big trailer (27k gross), I get around 8-8.5 mpg at 65-70 mph. I'm very curious what the Ford would get... can't decide if I want to pull the trigger on a new truck, or just put compounds on this one.
I have driven both trucks 2020 Ram HO and Ford F-350 and the Ford and GM exhaust brake is kinda useless with over 15k. Cummins is a real exhaust brake, not sure what Ford and GM are doing but it barley stops down hill.
You should use centric rings if the center bore of the wheel is larger than the hub. Otherwise you are only relying on the studs to hold your wheel on and they will snap if you tow heavy.
I work in the heavy trucking industry, as far as exhaust brakes or engine brakes, an inline engine will always naturally make more braking force than a V engine. That said, the Fords I've driven always do much better than EPA ratings.
They'll never hold a candle to the cummins because the v8 doesn't have enough stroke to generate the same kind of cranking force from a given amount of backpressure. And what I can tell is the pressure won't be equivalent to that vnt style turbo on the cummins either
Not entirely true. Had a kodiak with a duramax. That exhaust break would damn near skid the tires when it engaged. It was actually better than my 22 cummins.
have you tried putting the braking effort to high? I have a 22 f150 with the 5.0 and I put the effort to high with 14k behind me and the shifting gets more aggressive and holds back pretty good for a small displacement v8.
@@banana_phone4228 the engine brake on the fords for the superduty is garbage. Might as well not even have it it’s that bad. Ram 3500 dually has a AWESOME engine brake, making me really look at skipping the new f450 and going with a ram 3500 dually
Crazy question does the 23 still have the cp4 fuel system. 2- 2020 trucks at work cp4 fuel system just went out at 70k ford wanted 13k each to replace the entire fuel system. Both covered under warranty and maintained at ford. The warranty is not covering this and saying it was bad fuel. But we only use loves and pilot diesel fuel because we also have semis in the fleet, is this a common failure on these units
There's a disaster prevention kit for cp4 on 6.7 powerstrokes but it only protects the down line fuel system from the cp4 pump failure. Your still going to be replacing the pump instead of a entire engine fuel system. It's why Ram quickly switched back to the cp3 and replaced cp4 with cp3 pumps under warranty service. Something if Ford cares will also do but likely not.
@@Jon-O. the cp3 won’t physically fit on the 6.7 powerstroke, they do make a kit to replace the pump with a far superior pump that does fit in the smaller space.

It’s great to see the SD gauge cluster v F150. I miss not having actual transmission temp number in the cluster.

Definitely does help
Have you ordered any new Rams
You always cruise in the passing lane?

Yes I agree ram has a better exhaust brake. Even low output 6.7

Hey Paul. When you put aftermarket wheel and tires on, do you use hub centric ring or just leave it alone?
You should use centric rings if the center bore of the wheel is larger than the hub. Otherwise you are only relying on the studs to hold your wheel on and they will snap if you tow heavy.

I’d rather have power than all that stroke 😂

Rather have the ford than the slug Cummins. 2 different types of brakes as well 😂

It would work ALOT better ina f150 than a superduty. Your about 1/2 the weight

Yes, they still run CP4, and yes it is still a piece of junk, as always.

That's the exact complaint I have with my 21 cummins. The exhaust brake is either working hard or hardly working 🤦🏻♂️
Get off this ford stuff.
