a buddy of mine has a 05 silverado 2500 with quite a bit of work done and he can hold his friends 01 duramax with a chip and exhaust, but can never seem to pull on him. lol they take turns on who pulls a fender if that. those duramaxs just shift so fast.
ya man i agree those alison trannys are legit but it just really sucks that i gotta put twice as much money in mine just to keep up with those suckers
Its fun to beat the diesel boys. Some are fast but not most
my buddy just bought the '31st fastest duramax in the us' and it only runs a 11.3...cost him 52k.
Few guys here are outrunning that. I can keep with my buddys 04 dmax (same size lift/tires as me)...he has a shelf program on his and exhaust...i have few more mods, nothing insane.
The diesels smoke thru trannys like nobody's business. 7 or 8 of my friends have diesels and only 1 or 2 have vehicles that are reliable. All have chips/tunes and all have tranny problems/ other stuff constantly breaking.
i like diesel for the better economy (especially when lifts/towing come into the equation) but for SPEED they are really overrated.
With 1 or 2 mods, diesel will beat gas...but dollar for dollar they get left in the smoke.
Worlds fastest truck is a cummins.
My buddies F350 RCLB with just a programmer smokes Rustang GT's
First we pass em, then we smoke em!

Diesels are BAD A and are not to be taken lightly. They are just like gas trucks...you mod the motor, you gotta mod the driveline to make it reliable.
And the worst thing is that they are sleepers... :burnrub:
i know i'm going to get alot of BS over this and i apologize but, we used to have an 03 Ram 3500 wit the 5.9 Cummins with the Edge Juice with the Attitude and daaaaannnnnnnggg can that thing pull!! we topped it out on Beltway 8 at 151.8 MPH on 22s with a 35s Nitto Terra Grapplers that truck was awesum!!!! we took Subarus in that truck rustangs we tried for a Cadillac CTSV but we had the gooseneck loaded with 40squares of shingles :lol:
i havnt been beat by a diesel YET...im sure the day is coming tho, especially since im rockin the stock cam right now, and believe me this town is FULL of diesels!!!
