The death of a hotrod and the end of an era...

You can get away with running 295's on a stock DMAX with just cranking the T bars. You dont need a lift.


Chris, sorry for your luck...

I think the biggest difference is that you can't get a Cummins in a nice truck, but the Duramax comes with one.
And Duramaxes are holding all the drag racing records across the country.

You know I wasn't knocking Dmax, just asking how Chris made the choice. I could have honestly went either way, Just saw the Dodge and liked it. I have always preferred Staight axles. The Dodge is easier to work on other than that they are pretty even. If you want to talk HP see Cumminalongs video.

That's nice. I hope I can return the compliment to you too.

I knew that 6.5 was too much truck for you to handle...

I went with a DMAX because I know quite a few of the guys at the local GM dealership and they happened to have an 07 on the lot with 60 000 kms on it. It has warranty for 5 years 160 000 kms.

I would have just as easily stepped into a cummins but I loved the look of the LMM - kind of reminds me of my old 6.5....I will post pics of it once it gets washed - we have been stuck in a downpour for the past couple of days and the truck is extremely muddy!

And now a moment of silence please.

I may want some parts. I should know around labor day if I'm getting the CUCV I have my eyes on. I'll need a turbo, entire front assbly(alt ps pulleys etc) so I can convert my project to be to a serp belt.

Yeah , I don't know what to do with my spare time not fixing them...I might actually have to spend time with my in laws. Anybody selling a 6.5 ??
Keep ribbing my Dodge. I won't post my CUCV when I build it..Trust me, you'll want to see it.
I have a welder, torches , and a sick sense of humor.
This thing will knock down trees when I am done.
Anybody see "The Road Warrior" ?
Got my feelers out everywhere. I should be in possesion of one very soon.

Sorry to hear about the truck Chris. I've been looking at 08 GMCs LMM CC Dualllies. We need to see some pics!!!

 

[chrisk1500]

I bet the warranty thing combined with the cost of repairs got him thinkin!

 

[Acesneights1]

I know. I'm afraid to even drill my egt in until my warranty is up next month. Bet his payment is alot more than mine too.

 

[chrisk1500]

Not going to modify this truck yet....warranty is good for another couple of years and 100 000 kms....

No need to modify it yet anyways....power levels are, of course, not even comparable to the old 6.5....apples and oranges...

Nice ride, Chris! Are you still gonna talk with us poor people?

 

[Matt Bachand]

When you taking it to the strip?

 

[Gunner0812]

Nice looking truck Chris.
