thinking about dropping the duramax for a cummins

[sparepartsracing]

sorry wasnt trying to come off like an asshole to some of you, just to the jackasses for their stupid comments that dont help the situation i appreciate everyones info on this thread...thanks....i just drove the duramax tonight and it confused me even more...this is worse than dating two girls and having to pick one to keep:happy2:

 

[Akdiesel]

But similar...duramax has the looks and the cummins has the heart :rofl:

 

[sparepartsracing]

dont get me wrong the duramax is great truck the motor and body and interior are a perfect combo.....and well damn im going to start removing piece off the duramax and painting stuff to see if i can fall back in love with her:thumb:

and yes this tuner sucks balls i might have to go efi

The Cummins is a great motor in a truck that is a massive piece of shit. The Duramax is a great motor in a great truck. When I owned a Cummins I couldn't even drive the thing because it was always in the shop. Now, three Duramax powered trucks later, I couldn't be happier.

Put a tranny in that truck and load up a real tune and see how tempting it is to buy a Dodge.

i have one duramax and 3 dodges lol guess i got lucky becuase they dont break that often and they all have over 100k on them:spit:

whats with all the dodge trucks are shit comments?

 

[sparepartsracing]

the motors are good but the trucks are not? i disagree because my guys are not easy on these truck and they stay together

Maybe because THE TRUCK is a piece of shit??

That's what I'm getting from the posts..

My comments about the Dodge being a piece of shit stem from Dodge trucks I have owned being pieces of shit. It's not supernatural. Generally guys don't just make up stuff about other brands for the hell of it. When I say that the majority of Dodges I have personally owned and been around/worked on are pieces of shit that is because they are in fact pieces of shit. The Cummins is a great motor though.:thumb:

could you imagine if dodge didn't have the cummins motor..lol, you wouldn't see too many of them out there!

 

[Utahski]

ok you guys are assholes...IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY INFO TO POST...DONT

thanks bluessmax my biggest deal is the dually..

You come on with a silly post, say you're gonna sell the Chevy and get a Dodge. So why be telling everyone? Some people agree and say yeah, that's what you should do...........and they're the assholes?

i asked if i could make the cummins have the same power as the chevy and some help deciding read the posts before you comment...and if you think its a silly post and obviously not important to you dont comment please move on

A few buddies have the CR Dodges, I personally don't think they're that bad... But, it sure isn't comparable to the Duramax's I've had.

Could you imagine if Cummins decided to partner with GM instead of Dodge and then they threw a solid axle under it. There wouldn't be any other light duty diesels on the road today.

man..... this reminds me of all the threads SPARXsDMAX stars:rofl:

Very true. My uncles been a Dodge guy (cause the Cummins) for about 20 yrs and still isn't impressed with the Dodge it's in

 

[sparepartsracing]

ill be putting my 12v in my k5 offroad truck....thats going to be a sick truck...prob wont drive the duramax for a while after that swap is done

 

[McRat]

well im considering swapping over to cummins i have 2 of them currently and a third on the way..and idk i just like the way they are honestly there all 24v's, i just dont know the truck im switching over to is a 3500hd its slow as balls compared to my duramax but that isnt fast either which is where my hesitation for the switch comes from...im having my dually repainted along with new dually fenders sence my workers love to break them apart....i know im on the wront site but if i could get the cummins to the power lvl of my duramax i think i would be okay with it....my trucks are

2004 duramax 2500hd srw-ppe hot+2-stock tranny, lift pump 402hp.almost 700tq(weak cp3)
2001 dodge 3500drw-bone stock extended cab
2001 dodge 2500srw-remote start

It would be like having your girl get a sex change.

Some might think you made the right choice, but those who know would think you're a fool.

I have a few buddies that have 12 valves and 6.7's and the 6.7 pulls really hard with a 472. He makes really good numbers, somewhere around 700.

But join cummins forum and read over there and I am sure it will answer your question....

Here's the tech:

An LBZ with no changes will thump any stock Cummins. Not by a small amount either. And that's 5 year old GM technology. Do a test drive. The LML? Well, let's just say that both Ford and Dodge need to go back to the drawing board with fresh paper.

If you want the "best" diesel pickup engine, it's Dmax, not Cummins. You gain nothing by a swap.
