Was leaving the fuel station tonight after washin the truck and what do you know there was a duramax at the light,and an empty spot next to it.I pulled up,the two guys saw the stacks and smiled,they asked if they were loud or not.I turned the comp on 5x5 reved it in neutral,smoked a bit .They chirpped off the line but I cought them hammered it into 3rd and took off easily and pulled away even further in 4th.I puffed black the whole way.Need a bigger turbo or twins .They pulled up later and I asked if they thought it was loud ,they said yes.My clutch wont hold at the end of 4th now with the smarty and comp

 

I've smoked countless Dmaxes, nothing out here has even came close. Right now the closes vehicles that come are tuner cars. I corvette on a 125mph run made a race of it one night.

 

And I have smoked several Cummins. Big deal! No matter what you drive, or how fast you are, chances are real good that you can get beat. And beat bad at that!

 

good kill.

 

^ you got it. its still nice to be faster than the v8 guys with a 6 though.
allthough I am usually faster than everyone with a 4

 

There is one intersection where the two lanes narrow down to one about 150 yards past the stoplight, people will just die trying to pass one car and jam back into the left lane. I was sitting at the light last week and a woman in a toyota suv got out of line behind me and pulled up to the light, then kept inching forward until she was almost a car length in front of the white line. She floored it when the light changed, but couldn't hang. And my truck isn't even fast yet! Every once in a while I gotta show someone my exhaust there, I'm certain she got the full effect.

 

I was just telling a story,it was my second kill and both were duramaxes.And arent you on the wrong site?I think there is a tip on the diesel place where it shows you how to change your isuzu's injectors once a year

 

My buddy has a 400rwhp duramax, its can hardly hold 150kph on the hills. Its a nice driver but its not that fast. My dad and my brother all have Dmax. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have one. They give me a hard time about only having 4 gears and I give them a hard time about only having one small turbo.

 

He's just hanging around reading about real trucks and wishin he could put a CUMMINS in a Chevy.

 

Thats what I was thinking,I bet he'll say something about our lift pumps in return.I mean I ve been on some sites for chev and ford just lookin around,but would never join and talk smack on their turf I have respect for all diesel trucks ,but come on theres a reason why the fastest drag truck and the best pulling truck and probably the best dyno truck are all cummins 12v

 

Funny! I am still running the original injectors in my 02. Why would I want to know how to change perfectly good injectors once a year?

 

hahaha! you're just to funny. I am a diesel fan, and I like to read about all of them. Yes, even the 6 oh-no one.

By the way, I don't talk smack about the other brands. Just because I don't own it, don't make it bad. If I were rich, I'd own several trucks of different brands. (Dodge makes a real good truck, and Cummins is a very good diesel engine. There does that make you feel better now that I said that? hahaha!)

 

Consider yourself lucky I guess. My biz partners 02 DM just got 8 new fuel stix at 80,000 miles and 2 other trucks in line behind his. Good thing is the Diesel techs have done is so much, they R&R'd the injectors in 5 hours!!!. . Sorta odd, the sparkplugs in the 8.1L Gasser go to well over 100,000 miles and don't cost as much...Hmmmmmmmm.



Nice kill BTW.. I have raised a few DM eyebrows around here, I guess a 10 year old truck shouldn't make them look that bad..

 

Pretty much what I 've heard about the duramaxes.Everyone I know thats had one has had problems with either the injectors or the clutch.It seems guys i talk to who own them regret buying them and guys who dont own them talk about how good they are.Hdmax,no offence were just shootin the *&^% here ,I got respect for any well built truck and like the way the chevys look.But I look forward to be staring at them in my rearview

 

My brother Dmax is about 2mpg less than my dad's truck and idles funny. Thanks guys for info, I thought that dmaxs ran that way.
