I think all the new diesels are impressive. My son-in-law has an 02 Ford PSD. He had one of those "juice boxes" (maybe not that brand), a larger turbo, plumbing, inter-cooler, propane,and huge exhast installed by ATS Turbos in Murray, Utah all for arounf $5k. They designed the original turbo for the first Power Stroke.

With the "chip" set to the max and the propane turned on, his truck is very impressive.

Nissan what???? When did they start making trucks???? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I think when I finally get a real truck it will have a Volvo, Freightliner or Kenworth badge on the front. Everything else is just a toy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Overcompensation....not really. Way to much money....hell ya. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Actually you can get a Class 8 for less than an MDT (Class IV-VI). The Volvo 610-770s are popular for the dropping the middle axle and chopping the frame down. People are starting to actually order them from the factories instead of buying used (300-600K on a Class 8 is like buying a "normal truck" with 70,000 miles.)

clicky

 

That video is pretty cool but i'm sad to say that powerstroke has a Cummins 12Valve in it.......

 

Dbeck, are you certain that Ford was "stock". Today ya never know when someone has the push-button programmers on board. I just gotta tip my hat to the top three for the advancements in diesels. Heck, the folk's new chev can tote tons of pregnant Arabians around. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'm still tryin' to talk them into a Bullydog or BD system.

The Titan is nice, but c'mon, hook 'em up w/ a strap and any of the American rides will pull that thing around all day long. Nissan has popped some really cool innovations though.

 

DBECK....That ford you raced WAS NOT STOCK. I work on both those motors all day long. I love them both, but there is no way in hell a stock PS pulled away from you, even if he had the jump! You can do some serious stuff to the PS if you have a deep wallet. I seen a lifted F350 with 44" mud tires LIGHT-UM-UP AFTER he was already rolling (no dumping the clutch) As soon as you heard the turbo, they lit up. The cummins and PS are both great but neither one can hold crap to the Duramax when it comes to after-market HP and Torque! AND you are wrong about the PS being light duty! They are both medium duty, just on the lower scale. International has the PS and the 466E for medium, and Cummins has the 5.9 and the 8.2 Put a turned up 8.2 in your truck if you want some fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

If the ford was a 6.0 then yea it'd put a whooping on you. Dodge is the slowest truck of the top 3 loaded and unloaded so why is it such a big deal you got beat? the cummins will make the most power of the 3 diesels the duramax responds the best to simple mods but there more aftermarket stuff for the cummins than anything else. You don't hear of very many high horse duramaxes. I like watching you dodge boys scramble trying to prove your truck. From what i hear the cummins 600 is the worst motor they've put out. But i'd have to say thats pretty much true for everyone, i think as the years have gone on the motors have become less reliable with all the electronics they put on.

You got beat big deal theres always gonna be someone with deeper pockets that'll beat ya.

 

"You don't hear of very many high horse duramaxes."
LOL, in 05' 310/605 stock, and with the Banks system and a little work you can get ....465/990.... BOY them look like low numbers, LMAO Now that also means big $ but LOW numbers they are NOT!

 

Dbeck, I've noticed that my Dodge accelerates alot better if I poke it from a stop than if I hit it after I'm rolling. The boost seams to take longer to spool up when your already rolling.

Derag2, what kind of problems have you heard about, maybe I should check them out.

 

I don't think i said the duromax doesn't make high number i said you don't hear of very many...... But the cummins will make the most out of any of the 3..............

I just hear about the cummins getting crappy mileage now, no power, guys say they'd rather have a 12V than the 600.
