[peeworm]

I went to the farm some friends lease and are cleaning up a little and cut a load of free wood.View attachment 291523

so how did that 5 cylinder do pulling that is the rear sitting on the bump stops??
nice haul tho

 

[peeworm]

It done ok but I didnt have to pull it but about 2 miles and I don't think its is on the bump stops yet lol

 

[nathon918]

yeah i have a 1 ton pickup with sideboards, i pile wood up over the roof of the truck, and usually pull a 18ft equipment trailer loaded up good, it gets a little heavy lol

 

[peeworm]

ya the wood on the truck is yellow locust and just some ol junk popler that needed to be got out of the pasture.

The trailer looks to be squating more than the truck.

 

[peeworm]

It might be a little over loaded as it only has a 1500 lb axle.

I have both seen and done worse.

A five cylinder, now that sounds like a balancing nightmare.

 

[peeworm]

i hear ya but i hear that it actually balances better because odd cylinders cancel the harmonics better than even cylinders can. but I have no data to back that up.

That is a big load for that little truck, good thing it was close to home.

Its an inline five so balancing isn't a big deal. Audi had a 5 cylinder for years.

Speaking of engines anyone running the Ford 3.5 eco in a f150? It looks like a monster 6 cyl.

Think I'd rather have the 4.9l straight 6.

 

[Ironworker]

That inline 5 is a great engine, has a lot of torque.

 

[peeworm]

ya I really wasn't expecting much as far as power when I got the truck but after I got it tuned it does surprise me.

 

[nathon918]

ill stick with my 5.9 straight 6 cummins

 

[ShaneLogs]

I'll stick with my 350 Small block chevy roller motor in my Toyota....but none the less, good score you got there

 

[peeworm]

I hear yall but I could put my 434 out of my drag car in but I think the fuel economy might suffer. lol

what uses a 4.9?


ford 3.5 Horsepower: 365 hp @ 5,000 rpm
Torque: 420 lb-ft @ 2,500 rpm
16/22 mpg
chevy 3.7 I5 Horsepower: 242 hp
torque: 242 lb·ft
17 / 23 mpg

my 02 trailblazer 4.2 I6 Horsepower: 270hp
Torgue 275 lb-ft
average 16 mpg

the ford 3.5 sounds real nice....I wont be buying til 2014 anyway but I have my eye on it.... I also heard chevy is coming out with some new stuff next year that will be better than what ford has now.... I'll have to wait and see.

i would imagine hes refering to the old ford 300-6. debatably the best motor ever built by ford

 

[Big_Al]

That's the one! Awesome motor. Don't make em anymore unfortunately.
