Are you a used car dealer Ugintel? Those are some nice rigs. The Ford Powerstroke would be my choice of vehicles. If you chose the Hummer where you going to put the Atv? I guess with that vehicle you could afford a nice trailer.

Wow some of you guys have some top of the line pullers out there$$$$$!
Some of you Chev Guys I would like you to take a Min and check this out please.
If you have a 01 or newer Chev take a note to your (gas) Engine when you first start in up,Like after sitting all night.
If you hear a Tapping or Muffled Knock (Lasts about 1 to 5 min) you should go to any gm dealer and get your free 100k Warranty on your motor.
GM BULLETIN # 01-06-01-028 .Cold Start Piston Slap.
Also take a look at your tires, If you have 16" FIRESTONES look for Cracking on the sidewalls.
If you have Cracking its called (Rubber compound breakdown) GM Should give you New tires on trucks with less then 30k on them.
I got the 100k Warranty and the New Tires.
Put 6.0 Piston Slap or just Piston Slap in you computer and you will find info also.

It did a good job untell the truck hit 17000 miles then I heard the Dreaded Piston Slap that Chev Trucks have been plagued with. Now with 23000 Miles on it I can't take it and will be Trading it in on a 03 Dodge 2500 HD with the 5.9l Cummins. Now I will Have A Truck that is a Diesel instead of one that Sounds like a Diesel.

My truck runs mid 14's in the quarter mile........and that truck hung with me until the very end when it was shutting off............
I am not impressed with the dodge however.........I know several people that own them and they are slow and they don't have as much highway pulling power as the ford either..........

LOL..are you going to tell them about the problem with the Ford 6.0 de fueling them selves? Or how about the transmissions crapping out. The Dodge is slow? lol...The New HO Dodge has the most HP and Tq of any of these. I own a Duramax and love it. It isn't stock anymore and man o man will it fly. The allison transmission is the best you can get period. I can provide proof to these failure's on the Ford 6.0 Powerstrokes...Wanna see?
Here is one problem...I have plenty more for ya! http://www.blueovalnews.com/2003/pow..._injectors.htm
