I'd rather have some fat lady take a dump on my face than drive a Duramax, nothing against you, I just feel that GM needs to ask for the balls back from Isuzu and contract somebody else to build a diesel that is worth a crap.

I work on diesels for a living. And the Duratrash is a far cry from a worthy motor. I'd much rather run an old ISB Cummins or a 7.3 Stroke. These new fangled motors they are coming out with are so yuppie based and built that you can't stand to drive one.

I wouldn't drive a new 6.0 Stroke. We have 3 in our fleet and they are running like hammered dog shit. I couldn't even tell you how many times we've had to restrain from rolling them into a ditch and setting them on fire.

As far as a 5.9L Cummins goes, they are half way decent. If you get one before the 2003 Model. Yeah, the new body style is bitchin but, the "new and improved, quieter motor" is horseshit. A diesel is supposed to be super loud and ballsy. And these new ones aren't.

I have a pipe dream with GM, it may sound crazy, but it could happen.

Dodge is now owned by Mercedes right? So reallistically, they will drop Cummins and start to put Mercedes Diesels in the trucks. Then Cummins has no light duty work.....GM jumps on it and contract Cummins to build a super bad ass diesel that will blow the doors off of anything. Just an idea........maybe an designer at GM will read this and take a chance......
