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!!!
all day baby
like i said...im the only gasser of my 'crew'....not really impressed. The 2 guys who are faster then me slip their trans so much they can't beat me anyway...and 2 of them have ATS rebuilds
However, even with their slipping trans, and trailers behind them most of the time....they still get double the gas mileage as me.
My next truck will be a diesel for sure. There fast as shit and can tow a huge load while getting good gas mileage
nice truck!Quote:

Well I can keep up with my buddies cummins with a $10k tranny, Crazy Larry 210hp chip, intake, exhaust. Both are low 14 sec trucks and he has twice the money in his tranny alone. But he pulls trailors of sod that I cant...
Diesel is just dark side...don't go there, u'll never return !!!!!!Quote:

my diesel is slow, if they blow black and ur a high 13 low 14 sec truck ull probably lose if ur a 12 second truck that diesel (especialy gm) will need some $$ the Allison is only good for like a 13.2 pass.
Mine has no black smoke, under 2k in mods, and has bald tires it cant be fast, so race me :D
Oh how that smokeless tune work out for you.
ive been away at work (oil field) havent gotten to changing it anymore, i must say though that on a friends truck (same mods except shift kit) hes running roughly a 13.3-13.2 and he is limping his trans now :rolleyes: but when i get back were gona work on enough fuel to start adding boost and see how the trans does and hopefully a track pass before it closes
I've only had the chance to race one diesel so far, and beat it pretty good. Most people won't race me though, probably because they think I'm some young little kid driving a big slow truck.:spit:
With your list of mods--I bet your truck gets up and runs pretty damn well! :chevy:Quote:
