Looks like a bunch of homos got bored with their own site so they decided to invade ours. How nice.
looks like it huh... well maybe we should go invade theirs oh wait nevermind most of us don't have that much time on our hands to just join up to a forum and start insulting everyone and their cars. shows the diff between the intelligent and the well um not so intelligent....
Duratothemax- sorry I was referring to older chevys when I was talking about 14bolts. Also- my brother welded the spring perches back on and it's back underneath his truck. I can't believe you've never seen a 14-bolt broken...you should hang around people with trucks that actually have nuts sometime haha jk. But yeah, they're hard to break, but definitely do. Older trucks don't have aluminum driveshafts...and everyone uses NP205 transfer cases because they're A.not cast aluminum casings, and B. Gear-driven, not chain driven. So yes, the rearend IS the weakest link. If I had a digital camera I'd take a pic of the axle- you can see the weld beads on the perches where he remounted them. It would have been avoided if he would be able to run track bars in his class... Oh, and to all you Chevy guys coming on here and startin crap- you have a point we started it first, BUT we did not start it on YOUR website. Also, your grammatical skills definitely leave something to be desired. You definitely DO look like little kids with your behavior and horrid spelling skills. I bet you're the type of people that buy truck magazines and only look at the pictures, then throw them away because it takes too long to read the articles...

Who has bad grammar?Not I.If the perches broke at the weld,it was a bad weld.By the way,the 14 bolts on the new diesel and big block HD's are way different than the older 14 bolts. We've invited you boys several times to come on over but you guys must be afraid.
Oh, and whoever said the Cummins is a bad sounding, bad running motor because it's an inline six needs to read up on engines. Also, sorry to say but it also does NOT shake the truck apart over time...that is ignorant. Everyone knows dodges fall apart on their own in a short amount of time. Seriously...think about it...how do you think semis manage to stay together for a million miles? Oh gee...with an INLINE SIX...many of which are CUMMINS (albeit much larger versions, but same exact architecture and electronics design). The inline six is superior to a V8 in the aspect of torque curves and torque production overall. They have much larger strokes for the same displacement as a V8...simple physics. Look at a cummins- they produce their max peak at 1500RPM because of their design, and the curve stays flat til up around 3k.

alot of the 5.9 noise came for the PT stop fuel injectors....you hear the pressuriaztion and relase of the fuel. v-8 are natuarly smoother becasue the power point are closer together than the I6
I realize they're way different, and apparently even stronger. Never once did I state it was the same rearend, nor did I state that it was weak/strong. It was never mentioned. You chevy guys ought to try reading things thoroughly. I am definitely a fan of the carbeurated chevys...so much power for so cheap...but you guys are making chevy drivers look like idiots. Also, monte carlos and especially CAMAROs are hunks of $hit. My brother has a camaro he bought with 49,000 miles and the motor was toast at about 55k because the oil pickup fell into the pan. He has had countless problems, and for as big as those things are you think there'd be room to work on them, but there certainly isn't. Oh, and it wasn't a bad weld because of my brother...it was the STOCK perch setup. Talk crap about Ford Trucks- My 1994 truck has 300,xxx HARD miles on it and the original motor has never been touched. Come back to me when your duramaxes are 10+years old and hit 300k+. I guarantee you'll be faring MUCH worse than me...can anyone say electrical nightmare? I am an aircraft electronics technician in the Air Guard, an electrician's apprentice for my civilian job, and am studying for electrical engineering...I'll be the first one to tell you electronics definitely have a short lifespan compared to mechanical things. If they're exposed to the elements at all they wear out and will give you fits. It's pretty bad when I have such an electrical background and I refuse to own a new diesel...simply because they are nightmares as far as long-term ownership and reliability regardless of being a Powerchoke, Maxipad, or a Cumapart.

Yes, you're both right. Duramaxes run much smoother...and yes, it's a shame that cummins have to come in a Dodge. I wouldn't take a dodge truck for free unless it was a cummins, and even then it'd be comin out of there and going into my Ford haha. I'm not trying to knock you chevy guys- If I were to buy a new diesel it'd probably be a duramax IF they didn't have independant front ends...that's one of the things that turns me off to any new chevy. Who cares what it rides like if it's sitting along the side of the road with the front end busted in half? I also like the 6.0s- if I was to get a gas powered truck it'd definitely be a 6.0 before a hemi or a 5.4L---speaking of which, even though I'm going to take heat from the newer mustang guys...I think the 5.4 Triton family of motors are all trash. No balls and a pain to work on...

Aww does somebody have sand in their vagina? I'm sorry you can't take a little crap when you came on here starting it. This is a pointless discussion anyway- every company has their ups and downs...their awesome vehicles and ones that should have been dropped before production. In my opinion, Ford does it way better overall. I have to take **** all the time because both of my brothers are diehard chevy guys and several of my good buddies are as well. Trust me, I'm not switching loyalties anytime soon, and pretty sure no one else on here is either, so why wasting your time playing around the bee's nest?

all you stang owners saying duramax is crap need to recognize.
you will get beat ALL DAY LONG like an ugly wife, cuz your cars suck!!! f
ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
your just jealous of fords because chevy's pos diesels before that were junk just like most of their products today and they had to resort to isuzu of all people to make their new diesel and they are still pretty much bankrupt. not to mention you sound like a kid who just happened to find this thread and sign up just so he can be a internet **** talker since your too insecure to do it in person. so i got a question for you do you feel like a hardass now mr e thug?
I'm your Huckleberry!, My name here is the same over there, call me Jeromy, I'm in Texas. Bring your ass. I'll smoke your a$$ so bad, you WILL go home cryin to mommie because you got black boogers from inhaling soot from the Duramax that just handed you your ass on a shiny silver "a$$" platter, BOY. You talk so much **** about Duramaxes being a POS, I don't see you runnin 11.64 on fuel only no ..............NAAAAWWWSSSSS as you might call it. Even if you were close, even remotely close, add 5,000 lbs to your "stinkang" and see if you can pull better than a 20 sec. ET!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, mine's the 7.3L Indirect Injection (IDI) with a factory turbo. Basically the same as the good 'ol fashioned 7.3Ls. Same displacement as the new ones...and that's where the similarities end. They're reliable motors, but has absolutely no aftermarket performance parts, therefore power output is limited, besides, they won't handle much power anyway because of the way the heads are designed... I've had 20,000lbs behind my truck (so gross weight about 28,000lb) on several occassions with my dad's backhoe behind...and although she won't keep up nearly as well as the new diesels, I could keep it up on the interstate at 75mph...granted it's extremely flat around here. Do you haul alot with yours or just race it?

Where do you guys keep coming from? Ok...how about you go race a tweaked dodge ...guarantee you'll get YOUR ass handed to you. Duramaxes can't touch a cummins at the drags...there's only what? 1 duramax that has ever broken the 10 second barrier? Go back to your own forums...

No way?! I'll hafta sign up and check that out. Haha he's going to become the poster child for our motors...the only one who has broken out below 14s hahaha. I have never seen my style motor at the pulls OR the strip. I am a member at thedieselstop.com (for Fords). Never looked for any other sites because the stop is the only place I have found tons of info about my truck.

acually i have a 64 comet that runs 10.30s with a 351c N/A might i add....so id doubt i would be behind you. I also can think what i want and so can you but im not bragging about trying to smoke someone and that one car group is superior to another thats just retarded. my mustang doesnt even run because i havent finished the building the car yet so think what you want i really dont care. i know i said i was going to not post in this rediculous thread anymore but i decided i lied...i acually like chevys early gas cars and the 350s but their new **** along with some ford and dodge **** is not what you call great.... also the f550 comes with the option of a cat, powerstroke or cummins so to the dude who said only dodge has the cummins is right and wrong. **** i didnt know u guys get your asses hurt so easy few ppl say something bad about a duramax and you all have to come over here and start **** why dont u just leave it alone
