Why do you hate duramax? I have a friend who owns two 05 duramax's and a 07 cummins and the cummins sucked compare to the duramax. The duramax's were more powerful and reliable.

There is nothing good about a 7.3 psd. Besides they run forever. They are a joke as far as power and it takes serious change to make one with any kinda power.

Try dragging a stock 7.3 against a stock 6.0 and you'll see.

Sounds like you got a lemon 5.9. Those motors are some of the best imo.
37's don't belong on a truck just on Jeeps IMO but I digress.

didnt say they were quicker then the 6.0's... there just a all around better motor other then the 5.9 and 6.7... the 6.0's suck... stretchin head bolts with nothing but a programmer... killing motors...

i agree 5.9's are the best... but after TWO lemons... im done... lol... no longer need a big ole diesel anyways... and your aloud your opinion on trucks with 37's... but pretty sure most would disagree lol

Sounds like typical Chevy still trying to perfect some old *** crap to me.

I do like the Zo6 and ZR1 though. Everything else is a bad joke.
