I was in a RV forum and this comment came out about an truck pull using stock dodge, ford and chevy Diesel.

The duramax owners went not happy

Like I said in an earlier post, had you been at the Scheids diesel roundup, you would have seen which is the best engine no doubt. The V8's did pretty good as long as the rpm's were through the roof but the things died when the rpms dropped. The little six was either spinning tires, slipping the torque converter or the clutch, or tearing out the drive line when the sled finally stopped the truck. The V8's just died and that was it.
Of course I'm a little biased too. :

They got a new 2003 4 door Ram with the Cummins, and a new 2003 4 door Duramax, and a new 2003 4 door Powerstroke from local dealers. They were bone stock. They hooked up the Duramax up first and it pull the sled about 230 ft. The Powerstroke was next and it pulled the sled a full pull, but stopped at the line as it bogged down. Then the Ram with the mighty Cummins went last after the other trucks had tore up the track, it not only made a full pull, but crossed the line at about 30-40 mph.
I have never been to a sled pull before excpet for the regular Big Rig pulls and normal 5-6 motor tractors....Always watched them on TV so dont yell at me or call me crazy... Can they really get up the 30-40 mph?
