I don't really care what anyone says but Duramaxes run period! I know have beat a few and lost to a few but they run good! If they want to talk smack let em' if you beat them on the track good but if they beat you I guess you have no defense......

Yeah brandon is a personal friend of mine. And it's not a scheid engine.


Jeff has done some tweaking on it that's for sure. He is a very crafty person.

 

If I ever get out pulled by a Duramax I will be the first to shake his hand.

 

heck the duramax's around here can't keep the front end under them long enuff to beat anything.

 

I told him at franklin his truck was sharp and he just blew it off like it was junk he said the clearcoat wasnt what he wanted? dont know I knew you would have the info on the engine secret agent man you are the info guru

 

ears open at all times here lol

 

Come on Brandon. put it out front like you did at TS!!!!

 

must be small town pulling then. everybody knows you need to do a few basic things to the front end before even trying to do anything in 4wd in a dmax.

yup small town stuff mostly we have about 50-60 diesels come out. Even the small block gm crowd breaks front end parts though. I can't figure out why GM hasn't done something better with the front end setup on their pickups.

 

I cant figure out why some dmax owners are so stupid and dont spend the little amount of time and 300 dollars to make their front ends not blow up...

If you blow up something in the stock weak IFS once, you could have easilly paid for a set of tie rod sleeves and cognito pitman/idler arm braces.

Those cognito's dont work that great, i would spend the coin on the centerlink and be done with it! Had a truck with the cognito's on and his wheels still toed in bad! He wasnt happy with them so he bought the centerlink and said thats what he should have in the first place!

 

If you drop the torsion bars so everything is flat, you will not get toe in with cognito's and tie rod sleeves. If you race with the bars cranked, yes you will get a little toe in even with the cognito's and tie rod sleeves. The solid centerlink is another bulletproof option, but you lose some turning radius because it gets rid of the ackerman in the steering. The GM's have poor enough turning radius IMO, so I didnt do the centerlink, and have been more than happy with the cognitos.

Im putting quite a bit of power through my front end (tie rod sleeves, cognito braces, stock centerlink) and in 97,000 miles, lots of drag racing, and two sled pulls, Ive only worn out one driver side wheel bearing.

ben

 

His torsion bars were droped nice and flat, like i said before he was not very happy with them.
But hey each to their own dude glad u have good results with them, and i agree about losein turning radius.

 

Not trying to start anything, but for a week front end i sure have give those boys a run for their money down at Morgan's Corner NC with my D MAX. My Goat made it 70' sheared the pinion gear now it has a 11 1/2" rear and 3.73 f/r. The blue d max with STROKE THIS

 

Where is the next pull you guys are going to? I am hoping to have my trans back together this weekend.
