Nice to see diesel enthusiasts do what diesels were designed to do rather than revving them up and blow unburnt fuel for no fucking reason. All nice trucks btw.
Brandon Nance ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.what are these trucks running on? coal?i thought the locomotive was out of style.guess not.maybe in another hundred years.
Depends on a persons experiences. Our 3 ford diesels where a nightmare. The 7.3 wasn't has bad as the 6.0 liters. When the truck is a persons income and you have to tow it home all the time you remember how much income you lost and how much you had to pay to get it going again. Plus when the 6.0 were at there peak (of head issues) you were lucky to get it into the shop in 2 weeks, busy. We currently are running 4 6.7's with no major issues just the odd sensor issue and a def delete.
I own that truck that rips away from the sled. i knew it was a pulling truck by how it was set up when i bought it. its been my everyday driver for about 4 years now great truck!
MrSealteam7bm it looks a little different then it did. It's got tow mirrors and a fab four front bumper. Still got the bracket under the front for the weight box. Wish I could get ahold of the guy that owned the truck to see if anything internal was done to the motor.
Oh sorry forgot. The truck builder that installed the tank and pump on the one dodge didn't shim the PTO on the tranny and the increased pressure on the gear tore out the bearings in the tranny, had to put a rebuild in (builders warrenty). forget about that one because in my mind it cancels the fact that the factory forgot to put the dowels in between the 7.3 and the manual tranny and the f$%er rotated after all the bell housing bolts broke. Makes for a long trip in L and 1. Warrenty
You have so many original comebacks, that you should write a book about original comebacks. You sure know how to defeat your opponents with insults. That's so incredible! Would you like a cookie?
first, the Toyota 3UR-FE is rated from the factory at 381 hp/401 ft lbs torque, NOT at 500 whp, if you install a TRD supercharger (again NOT factory) it's rated at 504hp/550 ft lbs torque AT THE FLYWHEEL, NOT the wheels. According to what I read, they did durability testing of approx 800,000 miles on them. FYI there are Cummins engines with over 1,500,000 miles on them ON ONE ENGINE!!!
ford did not found Cummins Clessis Cummins founded Cummins built it from the ground up. ford owned like 1 percent stock in Cummins in the 80's but sold it off. Cummins engines put down the same hp and ftlb numbers with 2 less cylinders and still run 21mpg. and the only time a cummins is a problem is when you or the owners before didn't take care of the engine.
Like I said. Personal preferance/experience. I drove all GM trucks until my rear main seal blew out of my 2010 6 liter vortec at 15k miles. Bought a hemi the next week. Just takes one issue to piss you off sometimes. I even suffered through 4 700r4's and 1 4l60e in my 92 1/2 ton GMC.
I've been in both a LB7 and 2005 5.9L and was impressed with both considering that the chevy was a flatbed with a tommy gate and the cummins was a regular 2500, i thought they were both great trucks. I would mind any new diesel but I'm sceptical about any Dodges before 2010 because of the poor quality but they definately changed things around in a hurry and finally have a truck that i believe worthy of that awesome Cummins.
White and gold Pstroke did pretty good considering they just don't make the power as easily. I've got a 7.3 that can get 11 mpg @ 32000 gross, yet I can't hang with any of these guys. I don't win drag races either, but my truck stays together, it does it's job and it's paid for.
3208's were built for many uses, farm equipment, construction , over the road I am pretty sure there were 2 different motors one throwaway and one rebuildable.
its a sport just like racing or anything else, souped up pickups tow rigs tractors and even semis hook to the sled and see if they can get it to go 300 ft, the sled gets increasingly harder to pull the farther it gets each class has different rules and amount of weight added to the sled, check out unlimited pulls they are wild 5 or 6 supercharged blown monster race engines all tied together or multiple jet engines all sorts of crazy stuff
toki891this is my sons account I'm 40. And I know what the hell I'm talking about. I am a certified diesel mechanic and let me tell you Cummins is the best diesel engine. And CAT diesel engines are better than powerjoke or duracraps.
well with Cummin they've been making engines for the longest cause i did a auto project in the better motor, cummins came on to due to piston size and there knowledge of dealing with trucks, i've talked to a friend who works for GM and he says the duramax is a bomb waiting to happen and powerstroke needs better pistons
most these guys run performance clutches and start in higher than normal gear so that they can make it the full pull w/o gear change.. they have no choice but to slip the clutch.
6.6 is built in America and hardly Japanese, GM started doing its own in 03 when most the kinks and such were worked out. Much more reliable then any all European or Japanese motor.
I wish people with diesel engines would learn that dumping way too much fuel in the engine is not the best/safest/most reliable/economical/right way to make power. All that black smoke is just wasted fuel and stupid high egt's melting the turbo.
i guess to show what the vehicles are capable of. Ferruchio lamborghini did this with the tractors he built. ( wanting to say cambria italy?) late 60's early 70's. my guess is to either show off, or test
To each there own. Powerstroke was our worst, but that was a pair of 6 liters. But it was enough for us to switch completely to Dodge. And FYI the only thing preventing ford from using it in the heavy duty pick up trucks is a contract? Don't believe me check out what engine options you have at a class 6 where there is no contract? Why don't they use a powerstroke?
What v-6. I only have v-8 trucks other than our old blue with is a '63 i-6 with a parts truck. I have a shit ton of v-6 cars? Doesn't really matter these days, all new trucks are a nightmare to work on. Our second oldest 6.7 the '08 5500 has just over 375000 kms with over 13000 hrs on the motor and still strong. The best F-550 out of 10 at the company my dad contracts only made it to 10500 enigine hours before the 6.0 blow-by destroyed the rest of the rings. They run all Dodges now.
Everybody and their fucking mother has a cummins glad to see a Duramax keep em on their toes! only one ford showed up and it was a 7.3L lmfao not one 6.0L or 6.4L haha
What particles are you referring to when you say particulate, because there are many particles, and if you are referencing the blackness from the exhaust, it's mainly carbon, not really too dangerous once it settles, how do I know? BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT IS ALIVE CAME FROM THE SAME BASIC BUILDING BLOCK, and yes, that is indeed carbon, so maybe you're the one needing the education...
Also if it falls to the ground it means it isn't in the atmosphere, therefore really not hurting it, I mean I can understand smog or other things like that but this stuff falls to the ground completely in just a few mins at the latest, it all depends how long it takes to cool enough to sink, but it is always usually not enough time to hurt it as bad as even a Prius in the same distance traveled, so yes I'm saying the Prius is WORSE for the environment, facts, gasoline emissions go up, and stay up, doing way more damage then diesel smoke will ever do, and even just the chemicals in the batteries of the Prius, just one Prius has enough toxins and chemicals in its batteries to kill off a small forest of smaller creatures, you'd need closer to 5 to make a huge impact for larger animals, and those are realistic numbers for the amount of improper disassembly and disposal
oh my fucking gord...... what the fuck are you ??? "so yes I'm saying the Prius is WORSE for the environment" lol..... ????????????????????????????????/ please show me your Scientifically derived results that the atmosphere would be better off if EVERYONE had a diesel... Seriously... post that shit right here and I will make sure the world eats it up!!!!
Matthew Muse Dodge/Mopar started using diesel engines back in 89. Ford nor chevy use these engines except for the F650 Ford truck and the new Nissan trucks. So naturally when you hear cummins you think Mopar.

He's right Izusu along with GM designed the first series Duramax which is a great engine but now GM owns everything and for all those haters, dodge gets there engines from Cummins and Ford from international. So in the end you can't blame a company knowing how to get their hands on a good engine.
Yes they're great engines but you can't compare on of those to a big diesel engine. But I have to point out that the most produced and known engine in the world so far is the Chevrolet Small-Block.
He was not necessarily saying toyota is any more or less capable or "better" than each other. Toyota makes a very capable truck. He is just saying you can't compare a high revving high HORSEPOWER gas v-8 to a low revving high TORQUE Cummins diesel. Comparing apples to oranges.
That's sad for a 12 cylinder motor, oh and unless your trying to say that cummins of yours has 12 valves that's also sad, but if your trying to say v12 then that is still sad since you cant type.
Are you smokin crack? a 3rd gen cummins with just a tune can put down 900 tq. some of those 2nd gens are deff 1500 plus, proly 800 hp. those are some nasty diesels.
