What

You are joking? Right.

 

[Diesel Freak]

You need to attach a VIN and date of manufacture with those numbers. What was done to generate those numbers, and at what RPM are they?

 

[Whitmore]

their add says 300 hp and 520 torque

 

[chuck3]

Ok now tell us what your running in it to get those numbers. Inquireing minds need to know.

 

[JHansen]

I vote for ether-tons and tons of it . Maybe he snuck over to my petty bickering posts and stole some of my ground-breaking R&D and took it to the dark side!

Oh No.

God help us if he did Jason.

Believe it.

I was there. I seen it with my own 2 eyes. This feller had one of the new VanAaken boxes and the BD "Dial" with a K&N I think. The owner was complaining about only being able to run the dial on about 30% with the VA on at the same time, or the Allison would throw a coniption fit. Two strange things... . 1. No smoke. There might have been a bit of smoke, but I think it was just blowing soot off of the wall after a real smokey 12 valve pumped out 1000 lbs of torque. 2. I don't know if they all did this, but the DMax would shift backwards about an inch during the dyno run. . The speed governer would keep kicking in at 98 mph, which would effectivly end the dyno run.

The Dyno was one of those "Inertia" types, I don't know what beyond that.

So how long you think it'll live?

More power to them if they can make a go of it----but I just can't see them holding together for very long... .



You're sure they didn't steal any of my ideas eh?

Who Now Feels the Need to Step up His Combo!

 

[DarrellB]

Very Nice, Very Nice

Now we might have some competition on the highway. I'm getting tired of racing Mustangs and other Cummins powered Dodges. All that I can say is bring it on GM, it's about time.



See Ya In The Rear Veiw

I'm not woried yet... LOL

 

[JHansen]

After careful reflection I have decided that this dyno run was indeed a very serious "shot across the bow" for the diesel world in general. I may have to quit my job to devote myself full-time to my revolutionary performance-enhancing technology. Indeed I almost feel it's my civic duty to save the world from being overrun with high-powered aluminum bombs... .

[Bob Wagner]

Jeff Garmon is not a BS'er

I believe the numbers, I just can't figure out why he posted them and ran away without any other details.



Oh well... .

 

[drawson]

Hey isn't alittle early for April fools????



No matter Eat'M'Up is ready, BRING'M'ON

 

[chuck3]

Jason, ROTFLMFAO, you are too funny.





chuck

wishing he could be as funny as J.

 

[Breck]

I wonder how GM/Duramax’s warranty department(s) are going to treat impending failures.



I know they, GM/Duramax, have a few employees that watch these boards dutifully.

 

[Turbo Thom]

Before you get to concerned, an Allison transmission man said the reason the Duro can't turn out the no's the Cummins does is the transmission . You sort of have to live with what you got. The Allison will not work in the Cummins because of the torque and the shift points I was told the transmission was researched in the Dodge and why it was not installed is probably the power difference. Yes or no, I don't know. Thats what I was told.

Lets see that at the sled pulls, ohh you only can run the pull in 2wd, why... . I like pretzels, just not on my front axles. The dyno is for a few seconds. I do NOT think the DM will last pulling a TT or 5er with those mods.

 

[jeff2]

the first run was 320 hp with the va

the other power was made with a bully dog dial

no gas!

 

[danandamy]

Hey, I'm impressed. Glad to see the bombing products coming out already. I hope it holds together. Who knows, if Dodge continues to refuse to build a real crew cab... ... ...

well, maybe not.
