Well lets not forget the Cummins is severly de-tuned for the Ram Pickups. A
buddy of mine has a frat brother who works for Cummins and was telling us
that they could tune that B Series engine so it had so much torque it would
rip itself out of the current engine mounts. I think the trany and drive
line are the only thing currently holding it back. Be interesting to see
what happens when the Power Wagon comes out. I think some Ferd and Cheby
guys will be pouting over that one. :)

Subject: DML: DuraMax GM Desiel... BAD ASS!
OK I hate saying this, but GM has finally figured out the Desiel motor.
Holy
Sh*t this thing RULES, the Allison 5 speed Auto is freakign SMOOTH! Oh my
god, I ahve never felt somthing shift so incredibly smooth, and it
harnessing
over 520 Ft Lbs of torque! (Another badass feature) along with almost 300
HP. The anoyying part of this new Ultra Quite GM desiel is that it's ultra
quite. I am used to my friend 94 6.5Boiler, and it sounds so damned sweet,
but this new one if practically silent, it pathedic. That and you can't
hear
the god damned TURBO! that the best part is that whistle! That RULES! But
you can't hear it! Oh well I jsut had ot let you all know.
Sadly enough, it does put the Cummins in a Distant 3rd both in HP and TQ Oh
well...
