06 DMAX higher hp #s

[Jeff H]

Read that 06 DMax horse numbers. 360 hp/ 610 tq.

Also they are saying 6spd Allison too.

Is Dodge gonna up the annty?

 

[trqmnstr]

Of course they will. Why not? Maybe not the '06 but probably '07. It's an ongoing battle. It will never end... ...

Actually they are 360 HP and 650 lb-ft Tq. I hear they will start hitting the 06 models in 10-05. Here are links to GM press releases for both the Duramax and Allison 6 speed auto.

It's still a duralax, does it really matter now??????? :-laf

 

[Cummins Pilot]

hmm, with prices of fuel going up exponetially I wonder how far they will push the HP ratings

 

[BMemmott]

They have already hit the lots. My buddy just showd up in havasu with one. 6 speed is nice, 1700rpm at 80, I think it is double overdrive.

isn't it convenient that the big 3 is in a HP battle again and we are have fuel issues again?
