D-Max is an aluminum head POS, but they have power and can put it to the ground.

The only "race" a stock or close to it 12v is going to win against a D-Max is the race to 500,000 miles

Just take pride that your truck did not cost much $$$ and it will run forever and you can work on it yourself and have some fun.

yea, keep thinking that 215hp is all it has. i'm not much to racing my truck, i have a race car, but the duramax is pretty quick. just saying to keep you from getting your feelings hurt.
