***** that's why dodge has the biggest tow - load capability right? The frame bent why? It wasn't a stock engine it doesn't matter if it was a ford or chevy. The frame still would have bent under the same circumstances. But I promise you if you put that engine in a chevy or ford. The transmission couldn't handle it.
First one torqued up to the point that you could see the difference in the gap between cab and bed, top to bottom. And it didn't go back even, either. Likely that truck is never gonna track straight again.
roxas the rogue The part on the Dodge truck that is dependable is the Cummins engine and it has nothing to do with dodge. The rest of the truck, you can keep.
@Caliber244 the soot is unburned carbon compounds. this can happen due to a change to larger injectors or just regular wear on the engine. it happens mostly in colder temperatures due to the fuel not being full combusted. So ya you've got the right concept.... ;)
The emission we produce every year. Produces china in 1 day! BTW, i've been to America (3months ago). And I find it a beautiful country, with nice people !! :D
agreed,agreed,agreed. my stepdad is a major ford fan mainly for chassis. he said if he could get a cummins and an allison in it he would sell the ranch before he sold the truck. my uncle has a dodge with an allison and let me tell you,that truck is the cat's ass!
Uh, you can have an intake with a turbo. The turbo has a pass-through, with vanes in the center. Air goes in one side. You put your intake on this side. The other side goes to the intake manifold. The exhaust manifold piping is routed through the outside of the turbo vanes to make them spin and pull in and compress extra air. The exhaust then goes to the exhaust pipe of the car. You got it?
ya man i work at a shop, for diesels we mostly see 6.0l powerstrokes for egrs and 6.7l cummins for dpfs that could be because theres less duramax's in town but ether way they all have there lil flaws and there all amazing trucks
At least you use your truck for what it was made for. I think the juvenile civic owner was referring to those city boys who claim to be country only because they wear a cowboy hat, listen to pop country and drive a diesel and use it to haul nothing but sailboat fuel.
That Cummins bent that Dodge in half, haha. It's no 14.0L 855 Big Cam, but that little 5.9 block can pull. Shouldn't he have doubled/tripled the frame rails before entering this? Or used a frame with higher PSI steel? Remove the bed to compensate for the weight difference, unless that's against the rules or something... These trucks are all definitely customized, if you're going to do something, do it right!
Ford has the best chassis, GM has the best transmission, Dodge has the best engine. It'd be outstanding if you could buy a Super Duty with a Cummins and an Allison in it.
Lol this Honda debate is funny. First, graring is different, the Honda will burn a clutch before it moves that sled. Second, the Honda has to be above 5k rpm to have any power, those diesels have all their power under 5k rpm. The Honda isn't designed to get loads moving. Another thing, hp is a bs rating anyways, double the rpm and you double hp, so a 1000hp Honda at 10k rpm is still laying down half the torque of a 1000hp Cummins at 5krpm
Making a Prius does not make a lot of pollution. That study you were looking at was highly biased. The regular Prius uses about a 70 pound lithium ion battery pack, that's like 35 laptop batteries. Do you really think it takes that much pollution? What about making the little electric motor and 1.8L gas engine versus the 5liter V8?
thank you so much. this is THE FIRST positive comment i have gotten on that comment, everyone else is acting like a honda civic can do way more than a pickup truck! idiots...
If these guys are running in a class, I doubt they would be burning cetane from a pump. I would also venture to say the first guy bent his frame, not destroyed since the do have frame alignment shops
I judged by the stands / columns in the background, the dually barely made it to where the duramax stopped. dually = 4:37 . duamax = 6:09 , the duramax is clearly ahead.
I DID google: " what one is worse" & got "You can't speak proper English" Diesel exhaust can causes lung cancer and bladder cancer. Among these pollutants, fine-particle pollution is perhaps the most important as a cause of diesel exhaust's deleterious health effects. Diesel exhaust pollution is thought to account for over one quarter of the total hazardous pollution in the air, and a disproportionately high share of the load of sickness and death caused by pollution.
Yes it is wasted power. If you fine tune a truck to where it injects just the right amount of fuel and it blows out little to no smoke, it will go faster and have more power than overloading it with fuel and making it blow black smoke.
So with the exchange rate being $1.55 to the British pound that comes out to $8.99 a gallon in US dollars. Good luck with that. I just filled my tank at $3.53 a gallon here in Montana. Maybe your life doesn't suck but your fuel prices sure do.
Lmao, luv how the duramax was last, lol a whole dodge event almost then the duramax came in and ran the best run...........And where was the frame detroyed at? seen alot of frame twist and bend, but nothing that was destroyed.......lol gotta luv the power of deisel thoug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its the green one at the start look at how the box and cab body line is, thats whatca get when you put all this torque through a truck that wasnt designed for it, even IF you reinforce the frame, that weight on the front of it with that torque just folded it up, Sucks for him!
Well from what we've gotten from ford & dodge Ford v10 F250 Electronics sucked..if you opened the door alarms went off Couldn't pull a 12,000 trailer 1999 Ford F350 cant remember if it had a 6.0 or not Pulled it great then had all sorts of issues After the v10 ford we bought an 2004 Dodge Ram Dually 3500 We all miss that truck... After the 1999 Ford Fail350 Powerjoke (sorry that thing SUCKED) We got another 2004 Dodge 2500 Ext cab with an i6 5.9 6 speed manual. Last truck we tow with since RV
not trolling or being a smart ass but how long would it take one of these Dodge to erase it's carbon foot print? Doesn't seem possible with any vehicle......except a bicycle. But either way for what i mostly use a car for which is driving to work by myself or just me and the baby I would rather drive a Prius or the new Ford C-max at ~50 mpg that said i still roll with my gas guzzling pickup for Home Depot runs and for towing I can pay for the cost of a used Prius with the gas savings alone.
callmebigpapa ..carbon footprint? Man is 3% contributor to total carbon emissions on this rock..forest fires, volcanoes, are the 2 main issues..dude, we are riding a fireball through space and time...this thing burps carbon...
But you fail to take into account the amount of energy used to make crude oil into usable fuel for engines versus an electric car. Have you heard about clean coal, hydropower, wind energy? More of that will become available in the future and with smart grid, electric cars will make the power grid power efficient by helping to provide power during peak times of the day (power companies buying power from customers) and charging the car at night when demand is low and power plants have excessenergy
