Grand Canyon Campground recommendations

We are planning a trip to the grand canyon this summer and would like to hear from you guys that have experienced the campgrounds in that area. We are looking for something with full hookups, thanks in advance.

Re: Factory Ford 450HP re-flash

Yup, that's where I saw it too. It may be nothing more than "someone said" I guess time will tell, It still makes for interesting conversation.

Re: Factory Ford 450HP re-flash

"I can not find where Ford or anyone else list the HP and Torque ratings for the six speed Torqshift transmission. Chris" Exactly, so why would anyone believe that it can't handle additional HP? I don't believe that any of the manufacturers advertise what the max ratings of their units are.

Re: Factory Ford 450HP re-flash

I wasn't aware that the Allison or the Aisin were considered to be stronger than the Torqshift, I don't think that the transmission will be the first limiting factor to future power increases for the 6.7.

Re: Factory Ford 450HP re-flash

I would have to believe that the transmission is capable of handling this rumored increase.

Re: Factory Ford 450HP re-flash

Who's embarassed? If you look at the independent dyno tests done on the Ford and GM trucks it showed that Ford was higher on torque but, the GM laid down more HP. One could conclude that GM may have been conservative on their HP rating. I have always believed that competition makes all of us winners...

245,853 GM unsold pickups (Thats alot)

Quote For months, General Motors has been teasing us with tidbits about the new Chevrolet Silverado, which is set to come out sometime next year. This is an important model for GM, because pickups only get overhauled about once a decade. To get ready for the new Silverado, it's built up supplies of ...

Re: Transmission trouble

WHAT? Am I to believe that GM doesn't use the same transmission that's in an M1 tank?

Re: Well I went and done it!

A Boss 429 is my dream car but, I'll never be able to afford one. I love Mopars they're great, I also had a 340 Dart when I was a teenager and wish I would have been smart like you and held onto it. Don't take that 6.7 test drive unless you plan on pulling the trigger.

Re: Well I went and done it!

Bill I have a 35SBQLE and it pulls the bird with total ease, you will be more than pleased with the way the truck handles your rig. I have been so busy lately that I haven't even had a chance to drive mine since we returned from the trip out west.
