I beat duramax on a test drive...

[JoeyD]

Their race was from 75 to 90 not that far to get from 75 to 90. The D-max was floored before he nailed it, he said it was pumping black smoke something that none of them do, indicating it is floored, and he blew them away. His Cummins was moving twice the weight and he blew him away. I am not downing his truck, look at my motor we won't go their, just doesn't jive...

Thanks for the welcome back Chuck. I just hope I can keep the PSD running right long enough to sell it. It comes out in the classifieds tomorrow and wouldn't you know..... the d**m thing layed down on me on the way home from work today... ... that has been the story of this truck though. An expensive lesson learned.

shhh, we are being watched.



Anyway, about the head failures. What's the point? If you have a had failure, it's not like yo have to pay $1,500 for a rebuild,, all ya do is take it to the dealer, and Wallaaa. Problem fixed. . (usually)



The Dodges don't have many probs with heads... but can you say,,,, LIFT PUMPS Know anybody who has atleast 50K on the truck and HASN'T had a lift pump prob. ?





Anyway, My Dad has a D-Max and pulls ~25K daily,, averages (with load) about 8MPG (I get ~7. 5MPG when I do drive) He has 22K on it. and, we are DEFINATLY going to trade it in for a 2002, or 2003 Dodge 3500 2wd QC 5-speed.
