So out of all of ya'll that are familiar with this truck, can anyone give any info on it? How does it run? What fuel system? Which Duramax generation is it? Im guessing LB7 since they are quite popular and have the best stock pistons.. Anyone got a link to some info on this truck?

From what I have heard is it will be pulling this weekend. Not quite sure if it is the first time or not. It has been kept pretty quite and the only real info that I have seen arise is it is a mechanical pumped truck that has had allot of work done to it. I guess we will start hearing more about it after this weekend or perhaps after Terra Haute.

Its very possible to make a mechanical dmax, heard there may be a couple guys working on putting an inline pump onto a dmax, One guy already did it to a powerstroke, all it takes is time, money, milling machine and a lathe....

Thats the 7.3 with the inline pump. The older V8 mack trucks used an inline pump as well as the 3208 CAT had one that sat in the upper valley of the engine.
