Chevy vs Dodge

You are aware that for the past few years Doges have been lagging far far behind both Ford and GM in their GCVW ratings, and power out puts. 15 years ago your would be right, but since the 2ed gen duramax's the only thing the cummins had was fuel mileage and tune ability, that they lost most of when they went to the 6.7. Only reason to buy a cummins right now is the fact you dont have to use a DEF to get around the 2010 Emission regs.

Vdub is not going to drag my loaded horse trailer up logging roads at 3-25mph climbing up and going down mountains the whole way. Its not going to do well pulling it down the high way either even if you could hook to it, (you can with a tag axle but I would not want 15k lbs behind a mid sized SUV).

The V10 TDI would be a cool and potent power plant in a application set up to make use of its power delivery better, but saying a V10 tdi is going to out work a any duramax is down right foolish and outlandish.

Both videos were great. And I too like my SUV for the purpose I bought it for. Towing trailer, and hauling the 7 around when we go on road trips.

You have a Super Seven???

This vid has more to do with tire adhesion than torque, even tho the Cummings DOES have more.

Ive been a Chevy guy my whole life. My last truck was 1990 1500 Silverado.It had a TBI 350 in it, and retired it about 3 years ago with 260k miles on it...still going strong.

I bought a 2005 RAM 1500 5.7l Hemi 4x4 w/69k miles on it, and have had all kinds of trouble with it. The water pump went out, air bag light came on, engine light comes on, and some engineering moron put an additional 8 spark plugs in it for no reason.

But the worst thing was the heater core went out. Seems the same ignorant engineers built the truck AROUND the heater core. Shop charged me 11 hours because the entire dash had to come out. The final bill was over $1200!

I would like to sell the POS and get a GM, but Im almost sure Im upside down in it.

The only thing I like about it is its styling and looks. Heres a pic of it.

If I were you I would get rid of that thing ASAP before. That 5.7l turd needs replaced, as I'm sure you know they are shit, not unlike the rest of the truck but I agree at least it looks good but really if I think it's gonna get better it's not.

Again tweaked Cummins and a Gasser Chevy what did you think was going to happen

Doesn't matter if its a diesel vs gasser from what I was trying to say. I never thought the chevy had a chance but to just drag around a 8000lb truck like its absolutely nothing means the cummins had some power. Youre getting too butthurt over this.

why the fuck is everyone so angry that the dodge kept pulling the chevy all around(OP)? dudeman asked for a tug 'o war, he fuckin got one!

"I'm gonna kick his mothafuckin ass!" yeah right bitch, stfu

exactly lol, towing another 2 ton truck around with its wheels locked working against friction, gravity, and weight? i think that thing is pretty beastly.

Exactly. He asked for a tug-o-war, he got served. I found the whole thing quite amusing.

My Company truck has a 5.7 Hemi in it. (its a power wagon though so the 4:56 gear set really helps out though thirsty) and its been a solid and reliable truck for me hauling about 1700lbs in the bed with the aero if a building above the cab about 2 feet and normally enough real estate lodged underneath to fill in a small gravel pit. No real mechanical break downs at all, and we put trucks though hell. Will it last as long as some of the old diesels did NO WAY its starting to tire out some at 70k miles but I would not say the 5.7 hemi is a turd either.

Dreamin: that chevy is not 8000k pounds, its a 3/4ton CC/SB with a 6.0 in maybe and I stress MAYBE an 496cid 8.1L BB. It weights a tad under 5800lbs, the CC/LB DRW one tons dont even come close to 8k lbs they weigh in at about 6300lbs

who said it weighed 8k? lol i said 2 tons which was just an estimate. i knew it would be in the 3-6k area.

Dreamchaisn about 2 posts above yours did, was dispelling that myth lol

[dreamchasin]
