being a diesel mechanic for close to 25 years, i would say the horse power is between 2-3 million horsepower, and the torque is so high that scientists havnt found a number that big yet....
around 250 horses. The 7.3L has 500 ft/lb torque stock.
570 pound feet of torque and 325 horsepower. Ford is the best truck by far....
Dodge ram 3500 24 valve diesel.
Chevy silveraldo
275 horses
the best is a 350 because it has 175 horsepowerwhoever wrote that is wrong on 2 accounts.1) a 350 has more then 175, usually 275+. most truck 350 engines have almost 4002) A diesel engine is the best motor for any truck. trucks need torque to pull with and diesel make more torque then gasoline engines. If you used 2 trucks one gasoline powered one with 300hp and 350ftlb of torque and the other with a diesel that makes 250hp and 600ftlb of torque. Even though the diesel has less horsepower and weighs more all the torque it makes for the same displacement makes it better at towing. The diesel will also make that torque at a lower rpm.
Advertised Horsepower and Torque is, 165HP @ 3800 RPMs. Torque is, 260 FT. LBS. @ 2400 RPMs.
From what I have found out by looking on the internet, it is somewheres between 190 and 225hp rating with between 295 and 325 ft./lbs. of torque. It's a very strong motor and it is very easy to bump up that horsepower and torque rating without spending a whole lotta dough lol.
Diesels are not gasoline engines. On a gas engine you are looking for horsepower because they don't have much torque. Horsepower comes from high RPM. Diesel operators look for torque, which on a diesel comes at low RPM. I run a Cummins ISX. Its maximum RPM seems to be somewhere around 1700-1800; the truck runs best around 1200-1300.
The 1986 Chevrolet C 10 pickup truck with a 4.3 liter engine had a horsepower rating of 143. The horsepower rating was slightly higher or lower depending on the transmission application.
Advertised Horsepower and torque is... HP-----245 @ 4000 RPMs Torque.......355 ft. LBS. @ 3000 RPMs
