Me And My Questions
Hey I just joined this a couple days ago because I decided i wanted to get a diesel truck. My only problem is I don't know much of anything about them and I am on a pretty tight budget.
My name is Matt, I'm 19 and currently going to school at a community college in TN. I work part time at the Sonic right down the road. (I got the job to flirt with the hot girls that work there =P). Right now I own a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 work truck. I plan on selling it and step up to a 2500. Right now I am lookin for a 2001-2004 because they are the ones in my price range of under 14k. Thanks alot. This is an awesome site and I cannot wait to get my diesel truck! I'll be sure to get a picture of it up asap. - Last edited by No Problem; 10-02-2008 at 10:16 AM..

Bad news first, they don't make a Duramax (Isuzu Engine Company) without a turbo, or pretty much any diesel for that matter. Reason for that is because they were awful gutless without one. Now the good news!! You can get a power upgrade for >$500 and possibly up the MPG to boot w/ out damaging the transmission or the need for other upgrades right away

Hey thanks to everyone!
yeah i'm glad they all come with turbo's. so that definately isn't bad news. And what exactly would be a >$500 upgrade? like an intake or like a programmer? I have a friend who has the edge juice with the attitude monitor on is 05 duramax and he likes it. so i was thinkin about going with that. plus i wouldn't have to buy gauges or anything... -

I am not a big fan of the Edge, but that is just me. I would go with the PPE or the Predator.
There is a DIY for the intake mod, you do not need to buy an intake unless you just want too. I have one, but that is because I screwed mine up doing the mod. I started this topic its own thread here http://www.dieselbombers.com/duramax...questions.html for more exposure to your question. - Last edited by No Problem; 10-02-2008 at 10:15 AM..

100% correct. The Duramax is NOT an Isuzu Product.. -
