Someone Talk Me Into This...
Alright guys, Im considering buying a Duramax...(whew that was kinda tough to spit out...:se:).
Here she is: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...lx/Duramax.jpg 2005 Chevy Duramax 2500 Crewcab 4x4 shortbox, 28K, 6" ProComp lift, 17" wheels, 35" tires, Banks PowerPackage, exhaust, billet grill, nerf bars, I dont know anything about Duramaxes - Can someone give me a detailed run down of good positives/negatives? Whats a fair price for that truck? Any advice would be appreciated. |
Doc.....you really need that thing bad........looks like a great truck :U:
wanna sell me yer 98? |
Nope...the 98 will stay and the 01 will hit the bricks.
I believe those are Jesse James lawless wheels - same as No Problem has. |
its still a nice truck Doc.....................go for it man ya only live once....I think
|
Do it you will like it. My buddy has one and I love it.
|
My dad has an 04 and I know its the best ridin truck I ever been in.........it also has some ponies too :U:
|
I know my buddies put 385 down on Dunbars Dyno on 285's with a normal Edge Juice. I would say that one would be about 350-360 with the bigger wheels and the banks stuff.
|
Well, I am pretty sure the front ends are one of the weak links...I would consider swapping in a solid front diff if the front end isnt up to the task.
My main motivation for looking into a Duramax is to get something with a much better ride as well as a MUCH nicer interior and more cab space. What about EFI Live? Ive heard good things. |
The tierods and the center link are the week part. If Tomac and others are pulling them with over 750Hp to the ground and they are holding I dont think you would have a worry. They are allot stouter then most give credit. EFI live is the way to go anymore.
|
I wonder about longevity as well.....we all know with the Cummins that in most cases the engine will outlast three Dodge trucks.
How many miles is a Duramax good for? Lots of questions eh? |
