Boy, I sure don't feel that way. My Duramax stock is every bit as powerful as that Cummins was (with thousands of dollars of power adders) and the Allison trans makes the truck as far as I'm concerned. My Duramax is a Cadillac of trucks in my opinion and I've been in them all. I'll never go back to another diesel truck without an Allison transmission in it. EVER!

BTW, 28 mpg is BS unless you're running down hill both ways with the clutch pushed in. Just sayin... The very best I ever got with my Cummins was 21 mpg not pulling anything running at 2k rpms. Anything over that, it would drink the fuel. My Duramax does 20-21 mpg completely stock and pulls my race trailer better than that Dodge did by all long, long ways! and I get a lot better milage pulling a trailer than I did with that Cummins. Yes, it was expensive, but it was worth every penny of the extra money and I can get that money back because of the resale value. SO, again, IMO that Duramax aint no grocery getter. But that's cool. If we all pizzed in the same corner, we'd all drown. Good luck with that Drudge! I had one and I'm completely done with that!! |

Everyone likes what they like when it comes to pickups, I've had more than one of all the big three. All the trucks I ended up loving were dodges, maybe none more than the one I got now |

Get the KDP fix done! No ifs, ands or buts about it! Or you could end up with a junk engine and then what will you do? For the cost of having it done, it's worth it. I did mine myself, but borrowed a jig to do it and it was simple. If you wrench on your own race cars, you can do this! Find a jig, borrow it and get her done!
