My favorite part is that he starts whining about his truck being in limp mode and whining how it's not safe to drive on the highway in limp mode. DUH!!! Limp mode is designed to limp you off the highway so you can stop and see what's wrong. Not so you can stay pedal to the floor. I also love how he's clogging up the left hand lane and is just intentionally abusing his truck. Now I understand that he's upset that his really expensive truck isn't performing the way it should but that's no reason to intentionally abuse it. Jeez this guy's an idiot. Oh yeah. I love the fact that the code wasn't even involving the engine temp. Just the rail pressure.

 

He rode in the left lane because that was the only way he could get a look at that dodge that way towing at highway speed

 

I think the most fitting end to this shmucks video would be for that CDT to be heavily bombed and to puff out a huge cloud of black and pull 20 lengths real fast on him on the hill. I love doing that.

 

To me the video just illustrates that even a company with the resources of General Motors cannot expect to jump into the development and production of diesel engines and directly compete with the likes of Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Cat that have been doing it for decades.

The experiences of the "old pros" still means something.

I agree, not one of the best drivers in the world. Anyone that has been around the big trucks knows that they will derate under certain conditions to protect the engine. I think that was a good real world test however, here's one for JD Powers to stick in there pipe huh? I'm not 100% sure but I think the LLY was available up to a few years ago, or maybe when they changed to this new 360hp one or something, not sure though, not GM's number 1 fan.......or 1,000,000,000,000,000 fan.........

GO DODGE CUMMINS!!!!!

 

late 04 to mid 05 i beleve my dad has an lly 05 dmax hasnt had a problem with it yet but with the injectors

 

Lead - Follow - Or get out off the WAY!!!!!!

 

this is an instant classic, If I were this fella I would have done the following...

1) Backed off when everything started to overheat

2) Quickly stopped taping and destroyed the video to prevent future embarassment

3) Traded that duramax in for a Dodge Cummins

But I am not that guy and I've skipped those first three steps and bought a Dodge Cummins!

 

I just plain feel sorry for those who bought a 50k truck that would not keep up with a 10 yr old product!!

Scary thing is that the dodge was probably running the ac with the cruise on and the 47re probably never shifted out of overdrive. I never noticed any tell tale puff of smoke as if it did.

After driving the Duramax and the Ford of the same year (2005)
I'm so glad that I bought a Dodge Cummins!!

BTW very cool video!! No matter the reason!

gotta love them LLY's

 

Some guys never learn!

 

Got "nearley nail" should have had your hazzards why did he not pull the truck on? so the wind would not be blowin flat again the truck

ummmm the sound he was hear was the rev limiter

 

Yep, I know EXACTLY what the moron's whole point was, but that and reality are two vastly different things.

 

I thought it was funny when he burped, then answered his phone and called the dodge "crappy!"

 

wait rewind a couple seconds before he answered the phone....how do y'all like the cell phone ring tone!! LOOSEN UP MY BUTTONS BABE lalalala
