Buy an old 12 valve cummins for 10K-12K add about 5K in mods and you could have a truck that quick.....

Got to love them Dodge trucks.

The ole Dodge is something else. :-D I might eventually get remotely close to that with my 24V, but not until I do some major tranny work, seeing how it is probably my wink leak.

If I was to swap out the gears on mine I might be in the ballpark....
I hear ya on the tranny, I have a fully built ATS so I dont have to worry about that at least....

What kind of money did you have to put into the tranny to beef it up?

Boy by me pulled to the line at the local dragstrip in a quad cab,4X4 2500 on big mudders.Gale Banks sticker,and big exhaust.Ripped off a low 13 second pass, starting out in 2nd gear,and was still spinning and having a good bit of wheel hop.Dave

man, I'm glad my duramax came with the aluson tranny...I'm sure if I had the dodge tranny in there it would be blown by now with the numbers we're putting out of this truck...

Leadthrower.. You can go different levels/prices on the tranny upgrade, I personally spent around 5k on mine which is pretty much all the way.

Braz475.. yeah it took chevy a couple years but they finally got the bugs out of that allison, but I will assure you that my tranny now would hold anything the duramax could throw at it.

Looks like I will be waitting a while on the upgrade, that is unless I tear it out first.

As far as the duramax goes the only thing it has going for it is the allison tranny.

How do you figure that? :?

I cant speak for leadthrower, but he may be talking about the problems with the headgaskets blowing that Chevy had for the first couple years with the Duramax.
I never did understand why Chevy used aluminum heads on an iron block with the kind of compression ratio used in a diesel application???

Looks like it is no longer a problem though, do they use some kind of trick head gasket now or how did they resolve that issue?

leadthrower · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2005, 07:26:38 AM »

The main problems with the Duramax that I have heard about lately are injectors failing prematurely and from the sounds of things it isn't cheap to replace all eight of them either at a couple hundred a piece. Early on I heard about lots of headgasket problems which may have been take care of now.

Looks like the site that hosted it locked it. Try putfile.com, there are some dodge diesel vids there....
