I sometimes wish I would have never gotten the bite for diesel performance but also I have met a ton of ultra cool guys and its a ton of fun. Granted diesel performance is retarded expensive.
Yeah local tuners are pretty nice to have, I like Robs tunes but would love to have someone I trust to tinker with my DD, I am almost to the point of doing it myself, just some more confidence and time to datalog and I will be playing with my tuning.

With new common rail diesels how you pop slugs is over fueling with enough air... too much air will snuff out a diesel motor and more air = lower EGT's. Diesels like lean conditions.
Poor injection event timing and post fueling causes higher egt's and subsequently higher drive pressures for your turbo and that in turn pops HG's.
I love the diesel I just wish it wasn't so fk'n expensive to do anything to them

In my opinion, diesels are bad ass. A gas burner is not going to be anywhere near the tow rig a diesel is. Each one has their purposes. I think diesels are super impressive especially for how heavy they are. Come on man.... 150-200 HP from a handheld or efi smoke free is super impressive. I love my gas burner tons, but if I had the extra cash for a duramax, there is no doubt in my mind that I would own one before a gas burner unless I really wanted to just go fast. Once again, I love my gas burner, but diesels do not suck by any means, and people saying they do need to pull their head out of their a** and STOP BEING BIASED! After all, it is still a![]()
