That's strange because its the complete opposite of that to me. F**D has come along in the last 4-5 years but before that especially with the 5.0 there was just no power there. And a 4.6 just had no business in a truck. Every F**D I have driven just cannot deliver with the gas engines. With that said on paper the new ones look decent but I haven't driven to see for myself.
You and I have basically the same setup and the vehicle your comparing to cannot begin to compare with mine. So this puzzles me. And not holding 60 MPH? Is a very long very steep grade? You have a problem somewhere. I would straighten that out before making the mods. How many miles on the vehicle? Does it run and idle ok without a load?
