THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THERE AIN'T A HILL OF BEANS DIFFERENCE IN ANY OF THEM :P THEY ARE ALL MADE FROM IMPORTED JAPANESE/CHINESE PARTS AND SLAPPED TOGETHER ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE BY SOME DUDE THAT PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT PART HE IS HOLDING."PUT TAB "A" INTO SLOT "B"...HMMMM) :shock:
This thread started as a guy needing advice ,and has turned into a "MY truck is better than YOUR truck" grade school argument.It is amazing how childish some guys can get while proving their "manliness" :roll:

hmmm lets see how many years ago did they give up on v8 deisel's in semi's? back in the day the old 250 inline when worked on by the right guy made alot of v8 owners sick. how can you compare a inline 250 to todays 600 and 700 cubic inch motor's. if you want to see some real racing look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlELmIC0rWc

I really don't care what anyone say's i am in the automotive/ diesel field 5 day's per week, around dodge's, ford's, chevy's, and if duramax is great why did chevy sell it to toyota? 6.4 liter cornbinders, are being replaced on a daily basis, the cummins CANNOT be replaced by a duramax and certainly not by a cornchopper!!!!! no matter how many chips you stack on them!!!!!!!!
