whats your favorite diesel pickup

late last night and very early this morning I was out by the farm and right now they are moving cows around because the season change the animals are shifting around and some them are going to another farm 10 miles from here and going to different places and some are being brought in.

well I was with a relative and I was in the shed and I can hear a truck approaching ....and I made the comment to my relative that its a dodge truck.......he said how did you know its a dodge when you cant see it.

and I said easy ...just pay attention to the sound and all three of big three diesels make sounds really unique from each other. around here its always one of the big three ...Ford, dodge or chevy, with the ford power stroke being the most common, the newer fords are not much in use around here ...mostly older ford with the power stroke

so I went outside on a challenge and closed my eyes and as i heard the trucks coming I would tell my relative which one it was...

HA I got them all right.

to me its very obvious.....the ford has a higher tone to it ...almost sounds like a loose valvetrain.
the dodge has a much lower growl to it and when it revs up, it sounds like a six cylinder ....which it is.

the chevy is a lot quieter at idle and more of an animated sound to it.....

I can hear the differences clear as day in these youtube videos ....

for me I prefer the sound of the ford ...I like to listen to the ford power strokes when they are 5 speeds....and my least favorite is the duramax.
