Competition Stock DuraMax VS My Dodge Ram DieselRig

[Powder Extreme]

I just switched to a GMC because I wanted a "real" crew cab. With just a simple 5 minute install of an $800 box, it will kill my old Dodge in a race, ultimately the Dodge had more power, but cost a heck of alot more to get it. ATS is right on the edge of fixing the transmission, when they do, the D'max is really gonna shock alot of people.



I also feel that for the extreme HP numbers the Cummins will still be king. I doubt the D'max is gonna hit the 700+rwhp mark, but I could be wrong.

The Dmuck will probably get to 700rwhp, but how long will it last there? Compare the rods, bearing sizes, etc... ... and make your own conclusions.



They have more displacement, more cylinders... . and EASY TO PORT/POLISH old beer can heads... .

After hearing how great the Duradud was, I finally got a ride in one. The power isn't all it's cracked up to be. Besides, the so called "truck" that Jap diesel is in stinks. Rattles, wind noise, and nothing about it feels heavy duty. Typical GM.

I've driven one... bone stock. They're beyond boring stock.



With a Juice Box... . they're supposedly more potent, or impotent.....



They have the building blocks for success, but the foundation is a little iffy.
