yes i agree but if you do a utube search checy did some of there own "tests" that they call REAL world tests...having a go at fords tests....and in theres the chevy smashed the others....but like i said...it was found out to be a scam because of the certain control circumstances they did the test under to hand the chevy the win.

LPG Direct injection with the 3.5 V6 EB would even allow more boost and generate even more power and low down torque. The technology is here now.

I don't care what anyone else says, seeing an engine with frost on it 1 second and melted frost the next and surviving the test many times, is Kudos.

Not many engines can out live that torture without blowing a head gasket. Particularly when it has alloys.
Thermal differences is what causes head gaskets to blow early. It's suprised me.

The Silverado HD does have a stronger frame, and for some reason it beats the Ford in power at higher elevation. The Silverado also has a better exhaust brake. Those points are true, but the Super Duty is still a great truck, and does get better fuel economy especially when pulling a heavy load.
