6.2 F-250

[Okie4570]

I would say your 6.0 did you really good! Most of the bad stories I've heard is from people putting chips in them and running hard pulling big loads, mine's never been hot rodded or pulled anything super heavy. I talked to the guy with the 6.2 I was looking at and he said he didn't like the way it pulled his camper, a 40 foot 5th wheel no less! I kinda thought that it would handle what I do and be cheaper to operate. I've never heard of TruckPro, be nice if we have one around OKC, I'll have to look it up. Thank you

Call and check price, it still maybe cheaper to have it shipped to your door. And a guys time is worth something lol

There were good and bad 6.0l, the release of the 6.0l was also about the same time diesel forums were created as well as diesel programmers and mods begin big business. Those had to have had some influence with the bad rap that all 6.0l were junk. I've known several people who had 6.4l and ALL had at least one major engine failure,only one of them had mods. None of those owners still own them. Terry Miller here on OSA is the 6.4l owner I've known of who has kept one for an extended period of time.

I didn't know it was there, Thanks I will check them out.

The Super Duties get a "detuned" 6.2l. The Raptor and F150 programmed 6.2l have more hp and tq.

It's not detuned, it's just tested to a different standard.

Okay detuned was the wrong terminology, cams and standards like you mentioned. Hp/tq are "mechanically" different regardless.

"Raptor: 411/434
Superduty: 385/405
Reason: Cams and different horsepower testing techniques.

The 6.2-liter V-8 in the Super Duty also uses a different camshaft from the light-duty version, which, some may recall, is the same approach Ford uses to make 500 hp in the FR Raptor XT version of the 6.2-liter V-8."

Do they put the same transmission behind the 6.2 as the 6.7 diesel has? I really like the transmission in my '04 I have. Torque shift they call it, think its a five speed but it might be six.

I was thinking I heard Ford was going to a 7 or 8 speed a year or so ago?

Both torqshift 6sp but the diesel is heavy duty and programmed differently. I like it over the 5sp torqshift that was behind the 6.0l. The new 7.3l gas is supposed to get a 10sp auto.

I have the fluid and both filters changed in mine every 50,000, I can only imagine what a 10 spd transmission would cost to replace!

I'm pretty sure the entire F-Series (up through the new F-600) gets 10-speed autos. The F-650 and F-750 keep the 6-speed for now. There are a couple of recent TFLTruck videos from the event where Ford announced the 7.3's output numbers, and they show some of the upgraded parts for the SuperDuty 10R transmission.

Got a source for that? A source that has proven reliable over the years told me that the engines themselves are the same, but the SAE testing standard used for the Super Duties (built around the heavy-duty duty cycle) produces different results than the half-ton tests.

ETA: it looks like the Super Duty cams have different part numbers than their F-150 counterparts, but the parts catalog doesn't say what the actual differences are.
