the 12v engine is why everybody wants one or uses them as a base for there pullers, racers what ever...its simply for the fact of the P7100 injection pump i dont matter how many valves you have if its got the p-pump then its gonna be a runner

 

I bought a p-pump 12v cuz I wanted easy and cheap. But I'm sure I can find a free junked VP44 somewhere. Maybe even a free good one. But I like my 3 wire motor just the same as small block chevys. Cheap to find another one for a spare, easy to work on and no GD computer!!!

 

well i thought 12 valves were "cheap" and "easy" they are sort of. my truck has been far from anything cheap or easy. now duramaxes are cheap and easy a duramax will be my next truck

 

Huh, Let me know how that izuzu **** box works out for you, when you got 260,000 miles on it let alone 40,000 id rather have a gas job than a chuby truck with a diesel, or any engine for that matter.

12vavle, let me know what it'll cost to do what you have in your sig to the d-max. I was a Chevy man for life till a month ago. I had a 6.5 then a 6.2. If I had the time to put a Cummins in a Chevy, I'd still be a Chevy man. But time is short with a 6 month old boy and working 3rd shift. I know this is all off topic but you all know how it goes.

 

welp friend the farm truck is an 02 dirty with 350,000 miles on it thats lived a hard life pulling equipment hay/straw running around and general offroad hell raising the only thing thats gone wrong with it was the injectors went out around 150,000 trucks that can run an 12.88 with efi a tranny intake and exhaust now thats easy

 

I was talking with my experiance, with a 04 duramax, the thing would not move out of its own way, the front end fell out of it 2 times, thought i was going to die. The thing sounded like an old electraluxe vacume. God bless you for running that many miles on a duramax, and id like to see it run 12.88 with that little done to it....what was that in the 1/8 mile?. Good luck with your new truck if you get one, ill keep my ole 12 valve

 

first off ive never really looked into duramax engine work they runn pretty damn well without it.

the truck that ran a 12.88 is a different truck owned by one of my buddies and ill never sell my 12valve i cant afford to someday itll get to the point where i cant street it anymore and when that day comes itll be pulled to the track by a dirty

 

Huh, i herd that you have to put all new internals in them if you go over 500 hp to the wheels? I never looked into them cause the thing i had was falling appart @ 40,000 miles and it was stock. But then who knows maybe i got a lemon, Im just saying in my opinion id rather have a dodge with a cummins than any other vehical, you are intitled to buy what ever jap crap you want, thats the beauty of AMERICA, as we know it.

I hope you don't sell your 12 valve, sounds like a nasty rig, i want a 5speed like you read about

 

nothing nasty about my pickup it has problems on top of problems as of last weekend its naturally aspirated
