Just bought a new truck lastnight

Well yesterday i went to James Woods Chevorlet in Decatur and looked at some trucks. They had a 2006 4x4 Dually with leather dvd tv loaded out and they were asking 48 and paid 38 out the door for the truck. I kept my 2005 because of it being paid off and when i took my buddy there with me he drove my 05 home and i was driving the duramax this new truck will walk all over that dodge, with the dodge bullydog programmer set on Performance. The dmax is brand new with no fueling box or anything. I cant wait to chip this one out and put a intake on it and i bet it will really run awy from my dodge then. But the dodge has been a good truck and wont get rid of it for anyhting.

we had a 100hp chip on our d-max from about 30,000k to 140,000 and the tranny has held up fine. the chip was always at 100hp. its a 2002 with 150,000k on it now. the only problem we've had with it was a glow-plug relay shorted out and fixed uder waranty.
we took the chip off cause the chip malfunctioned.
my dad put the chip on, not cause the truck wasnt fast enough or couldnt pull our gooseneck with 15head of cattle in it, he just wanted to be a fast kid again =D
D-maxes are good motors and the allison is bulletproof as far as im concerned. you got yourelf a good truck.....it aint a cummins...but itll do just as well

Yea im not saying there bad for like a 100chip or something but whenever you start realling getting into it that dont want to seem to handle to well. Put you crazy larry on there you will love it and it will handle the crazy larry pretty good. Past that much though it doesnt seem to great well thats just what i know from 2 friends. Good luck and enjoy!

o yea i kept my dodge also i wasnt gonna trade in a paid off truck and it runs perfectly strong and since it being paid off its gonna get lots of good things now and be the work truck now. It hauls hay all day and hauls cattle to. I did pull with the dmax today and all around its a strong truck and i cant wait to chip it out and put the intake on there to.
