A guy at work was telling me that he saw on the speed channel where they were showing a grey reg cab short bed power stroke and were claiming it was the fastest 4x4 street legal diesel truck. Has any one on here seen that truck? I think he said it was running 9.xx and they said he wont be in the lead for long.

The Quickest Ford I am aware of is David Lots Snow White. I am not sure but I beleive he is in the 10s on drugs.

Tell the guy a work his jaws are faster than most Powerstrokes!:D

The internet is a small fraction of reality.

It very possibly could be. But how would he know it's the fastest? DHRA doesn't list it.

And I'm not sure how street-legal you can be with 9 second modifications done. Rollcage, parachute, fuel cell, spool, slicks, etc. It can be done, but what you end up with is a trailer queen with tail-lights and a license plate.

Seriously, I wonder if it's 1/8th mile. A 9.0 in the 1/8th is quick for most tuned Ford's.

wouldnt 9 sec 1/8th be about 13.5-14.0 in the 1/4? IIRC i run very close to 8 sec 1/8th and thats a 12.5 in the 1/4. David Lott aka powerstrokeracer is the fastest powerstroke right now i believe he ran a 11.1 @ 129 mph (2wd reg cab longbed w/ slicks and nitrous) at truckfest in denver this past summer.

Yes, I know. But the guy might THINK he's fastest just because he is at his local track or something.

A 9 second build that is invisible to all the major Ford racing shops is not as likely as:

"Yup. I gotz a EDGE on ma truck! Iz the fastest truck in Pohunk County!"

Speaking of trouble codes, last night my friend and I who has an 06 LBZ 4x4 duramax went for a little ride because he just programmed his truck. Well we tuned it and everytime he smashed on it hard it threw a code and the truck wouldn't go obove like 30MPH!! What is causing this? The truck is fast for like 5 seconds and then it turns into a slug.

I'm not sure excactly but I could find out, he would have to stop and re-program it to make it run normal again.
