I am having a hard time finding "too much stock power" in the dictionary.. so that means theres no such thing..


I would be real happy with 500/1000 but thats just me...


For alot of folks, 200/500 is plenty..

that definately looks alot better than the current body style.......id definately buy one....


whats sad is that no matter what duramax you buy once you get tuning for them they are all the same HP/TQ unless its something completely custom......if this truck comes out with that engine there wont be much tuning unless you instantly go to aftermarket parts......

Well, no offense to anyone here, but the "Farm Guys" hauling huge loads (I've worked farms, and my family owns one), should be using bigger trucks, and they know it. Yeah, they can get away with a little truck and big trailer, but it just ain't safe. There's a reason it requires a CDL for anything over 26K lbs...

I agree that is why I haven't bought a duramax yet. I just tune everyone elses. I know the moment I buy one, they are going to come out with a new duramax that has "substantial improvements." Say like 700 hp capable from the factory with minor tweeks and tuning.

I know the closer the factory gets to the 500hp 1000ftlb mark, the closer they get to adding better technology. (rods, piston, intercoolers, transmissions, fuel pumps etc etc) I know their has to be another 6.5 to 6.6 step in history coming and I am just waiting on it.
