2011 Ford F350 Super Duty Diesel 6.7L - not being produced yet - Ford Rep brought it by and let us check it out... oh yes - it is ALL NEW and it is quiet and powerful. 390hp and 735lb torque! WOW
There could be a silencer ring in the Excursion, or the newer gen 7.3's. And I know there's a loud Cummins, but they were all very loud back in the day. Now the Super Duty engine is probably the quitest.
@SecularTechnology Well, like I said, they were the older 5.9 engines (pre-03 or so), and they very well may have been straight-piped, but regardless those were loud engines from the factory anyway.
Now, I've heard the 7.3L in the Excursion, and that's not as loud as those Cummins I've heard. It's certainly a loud engine (unfortunately, not all the sound is exhaust, it's a pretty clattery beast), but these were louder, and all exhaust.
@SecularTechnology In essence, they're *kinda* like the Viper engine: 8.0, 8.3, or 8.4 they were all massive engines and they were pushrod, OHV, 2 valves per cylinder, so they made little power for their size (except the 8.4, that's a little better @ 600HP). Hennessey knew that, though, and did something about it XD. Twin turbo, 1200hp!
@SecularTechnology Well, I don't know which cummins it was, but it was second- or third-gen (12 or 24V, after the body restyle in 93), and it sounded like a big-rig, except deeper, and a ton louder. Like the exhaust was made to belt out as much sound as possible, and you could hear it at least 2 blocks away at idle, and *easily* a mile away under any throttle. I don't know if it was that way from the factory or these were all straight-pipe trucks, but they were LOUD.
Sounds like the 6.0, and 8.1 Vortec. They don't have any Hp grabbing technology like VCT, or DOHC. And of course they're gas engines , so they don't have a turbo like a diesel does.
I want one.

I like Fords but these have got to be the ugliest trucks that Ford has ever made.

that 735 pds or torque is pure bull makes alot less than on paper its been proven plus it would most likely break before it reaches 100,000 miles

I think a mile, is pushing it. I've heard pretty much all gen Cummins, and I know none were louder then the 7.3 International.
It was probably an earlier gen Cummins 12v
