So 450-500 hp cummins are running low 12s since a 600-650 hp Dmax will do high 11s?

I mean hell with simple intake, exhaust and tuner modifications. Here is what I got on the Dyno a few months ago with my LBZ.

i put on 100,000 miles in a year and a half. 95% of those miles where towing a 30ft gooseneck with construction equipment on it. Total weight of my trailer is 8,200lbs and on the qverage of 14,000 lbs of iron{ 22,200} total weight my lbz is hauling everyday. Change the filters and go. I drove 22 hrs straight in the truck i i have a bad back. My ass is sore and my legs got knumb every once in a while. I owned a FORD before this one and i couldn't drive 250 miles before my back was hurting. Just look in truck trader and see what is for sale CUMMINS, FORDS, not to many CHEVY'S. Only problem i had was a tranny leak, rear end leak and the drivers side ac control would stick and blow hot air. That is it. Chevy in my opinion did there home work and got it right? Smooth and comfortable. :c:

It really depends on alot of different factors but yea I can hit high 11s when I do the correct launch and the truck shifts perfect. Lately I have been havin problems with my suncoast not getting any higher then 4th gear before the truck defuels into limp mode. I see that as my own doing and ya gotta pay to play and any other truck could do the exact same thing. I generally run low 12s like a 12.0 something or a 12.1 and I'm happy with that I've gotten the truck to where i want it power wise and realibilty wise. And yea another thing I didnt mention is the ride. When I first leveled out the truck I thought it rode horrible because I was so used to riding so softly but now it with the 3" keys in it its so smooth and rides like a Caddy deville down the highway. I'm not brand biased I'll drive about anything but a freakin toyota or honda but as of right now I'm content with the Duramax its been a good truck and it has alot qualitys that I wish my 2007 dodge 5.9 had. Either way I love the diesels and I love em both!

I have owned all 3 of the diesels and to tell you the truth the dmaxs are nice motors I loved mine and are a pretty stable strong truck the only reason I went ford was customer service in the dealerships around here.

I have an LLY, yes I have overheated it. I was so mad... But the longer I have the truck, the more I love it. Its an amazing truck. I would honestly go with an LBZ if I could do it again. But I love my truck and its going to be around for a long time to come. You couldnt trade it for either of the other two for the year.

I have a cummins because i got a good deal on it. The Duramax is an awesome engine in my opinion though, it makes its maximum torque at 1800rpm, same as the I6 cummins which has always been an argument against the V8 diesels and Chevy stands behind their products a lot better than Chrysler does in my experiences which both have been with lifted trucks and automatic transmissions failing, Chevy went out at 85,000 out of warranty, chevy replaced it anyway for free, Dodge went out at 24,000 because the truck was modified they red flagged the vehicle and no dealer will do warranty work on it so needless to say i'm unhappy with chryslers warranty, but i'm happy with the truck other than that

i agree ive had all three and stock hp dmax blows the comptition away :choochoo: i cant wait to see what i can do when i get it bombed:humm::rocking:

beach_33 02-01-2009 01:34 AM

i dont want to call you a liar but with the mods in your sig you would not run that low of an e.t. you would need to be around 630 hp to run that fast. and you cant get that high with any ppe
