THAT'S A 2500 HD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE WITHOUT 4WD. BUT EITHER WAS THAT THING WAS BAD ASS!! IF I HAD A TRUCK IT WOULD WITHER BE A 2500 HD WITH A DURAMAX LIKE IN THE VIDEO OR A DODGE RAM 2500 WITH THE CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL. BOTH BAD ASS TRUCKS!!!
You can order them with 2wd hardly anyone does though

true.... the old 7.3s didnt make that much power from stock but ive seen some with over 1000000km on them still running strong, most of them had a few oil leaks, but whatever, i know some of those guys that traded in for the new 6.0 and one guy blow his motor at 120000km and lots other having probs with injectors and other ****. the 6.0 IMO do sound the best when chiped, exhaust, etc....they sound like a jet engine, even when idling the exhaust sounds sweet. but they do have reliablty probs.
i didnt know you could mod deisels

did your bros s10 weigh over 9000lbs?? if that duramax was in a 1/4 truck it would probally just twist the frame or something.... i dont know, i was pretty impressed. those trucks make lots of torque and nothing slows them down

most chips add around +100 hp and +300 ft lbs.... they are crazy
Sike, not gonna happen. Yeah that's right, I said sike. Old school
lol!!!! when your drag racing, the car wont even move and the rear diff will be at the end of the line in like 6secs haha too insane for a cobalt.....i would like to see it tho.... its just amazes me when you see a lifted up truck with 37", 40" or even bigger tires towing hugh 5th wheels like its nothing.....
the 6.0s are junk.... The 7.3 is better! We building a 06 Cummins at our shop and its gonna be close to 2000ft. lbs. and close to 900hp! Huge turbo, E/I, new intake and exhaust manifolds, water/meth, computer tuning, and built tranny!
Hi folks -
I question the h/c aspect of the vette - a well driven Z06 stock can hit very low 12's and run 116 traps.
A h/c z06 can easily run low 11's with the right setup.
Impressive to see a huge truck run like that, but it is not going to outrun many lightly modded Z's that are well driven.
Thanks for the link.

Not everyone can make a car run like it does in Road and Track.
EIther way that DUramax is freaking nuts. I myself wouldnt' own one specifically to race. Perhaps to own and use as a tow vehicle / tire fryer. It'd be great to jsut roll into it with a trailor behidn me and pull on a car that thinks he's got somthign special.
IMO though, I want a cummins. Or maybe that Merc Deseil that's comign in the lesser Rams, supposedly.
dodge does suck! the cummins is a awsome motor tho, probally have the most protential IMO. shortyhend2004, what tranny are u running in that truck??
i dont know if this is true, but i heard dodge is coming out with a 6.8l cummings and a 6spd allison? that would be pretty sweet minus the dodge....

cummins is faster
I have a cousin with a 99 cummins that runs a 11.86 no joke I will try to post a video of it also and regular tires with a 4.5 60" spinning tires alot. If no video ill try to get a time slip.
The dodge is runnin a stock tranny, however it has billet input shaft, tq converter, valve body, flex plate, an tranny pan (bigger better cooling). Also the truck ate its second ATS turbo this week!! They both came apart on the truck an ATS is paying for that haha. Now it goin TT or jus lil bigger than the ATS Auroa 5000?
oh...i see yeah the dodges auto trannys arnt very good stock, unless you build them for the abuse. alot of dodge guys usally run the 6spds around here, but they cant shift as fast as an auto. but they dont drag race..... their trucks are just 4x4 monstars..... but most of the chevs and fords are autos.....the allison is a good tranny, i dont know about fords, never did reseached on their trannys..

A C5 Z06 has an LS6. C6's have the 402 (LS2) and C6 Z06's have an LS7.
