The 4bt makes 105 hp and 265 ft/lb of torque, the 6bt makes 160 hp and 400 ft/lb. So its more like 55hp more not to mention the extra 135 extra foot pounds. http://www.cumminsdieselspecs.com/12v.html

And you also have to think about the 6bt having alot better aftermarket following. And what wouldnt you want another inch? Haha

Because I'll need bigger tires. And I'm not buying the diesel to be like every other chump. It's not going to be used for the sound of diesel or for racing. Mainly towing and better gas mileage. And the 4bt is stupid easy to work on compared to the 6bt. You're correct about the aftermarket parts flow for the 6bt but again I'm not in it to make it faster and to make it smoke out the town. Most 4bt and 6bt parts are interchangeable. With the parts and knowledge I've accumulated from being a heavy duty diesel mechanic, I know exactly what I'm looking to do as far as swap/ build. I just want a clean burning, mileage monster, that can still tow more. But the money has to come first.

I bought the blacked out ones over the clear ones. Clear ones are all over eBay. Trick: they list them as bumper lights. Type in f150 clear bumper lights with the year of your truck in front.i was extremely impressed by the quality of mine. They came with bulbs and the headlights came with extended snap tabs because it would be impossible to install with the factory short ones
