I can crank up my '99 7.3 PSD on a cold morning, and the neighbors start dragging their trash cans to the street, along with packing their kids off to the school bus stop!!!

I question why all the diesels are so loud....although, the fuel going above 4 bucks a gallon has quieted some in my area.

Yep! my 08 6.4 is very quite, the only thing I here now is the tires (when the window is down)
Oh yeah it's also an EPA law now, they all had to get quite-errr

I am a Dmax owner and love it! Its got big power and quiet but the new ford diesel quieter. The tecnolagely has the injector firing 5 mini shots of fuel every stroke. Its makes a lot of power and much quieter!

This has nothing to do with OP question, but "Diesel fumes make you horny". Saw that on a diesel Mercedes years ago.

I have a Duramax Diesel and I have noticed that it is a lot quitter than the Powerstoke. Does the Powerstoke have multiple turbos or what is the deal?


He said it's a lot quitter than a Powerstroke, not quieter. Maybe he means that it quits pulling on hills???
Your not gonna fault a man while he was trying to write his thoughts while his disle was runnin' are ya?

We bought our used powerstroke 2 years ago & at first the noise made me
crazy and now even I love it.
I am getting to where I can tell - like another person here said - that
when they crank up to leave the campground we know what type it is!
Now I don't even notice the 'noise'.........and when one pulls up to me,
I gotta turn my head to do a look see.......never did that before we owned
one!
