My neighbor/acquaintance has always given me crap ever since i bought my 02 CC long bed 7.3 F350. He has a CC longbed 04 GMC with the duramax diesel. We always razz each other in a friendly way. for instance i'll be driving down the street coming home from work and he'll wave me over and i'll stop in the street (we live in a cul-de-sac..very low traffic) and he'll say 'ahh forget it, i cant even hear myself think over that noisy ass ford, foreget trying to talk with yah'. i'll laugh and come back with a witty remark. So today im sitting at a traffic light waiting to pulling out of my neighborhood. The light turns green and as im starting to go i see him behind me, and see him floor it (puff of black smoke) so i do the same and were about even. As we pull up to the next light im hopping it turns red, and sure enough it turns yellow, even inside my truck i can feel the mutual 'its on' feeling. So I see him roll down the passenger side window and i do the same, he say's "there's no way a ford can take on a chevy." So i reply by saying, "we'll see." he laughs. i give him a hard 'whats up look' jokingly. So as im sitting there waiting for the green, im looking at the opposite light waiting for it to turn yellow, as soon as it turns yellow i push on the brake a little bit more and rev it up to 2000 rpm, just in time for it to turn green. And were off. i launch hard, so much so that i look in my passenger side mirror to see him and his puff of smoke telling me he's on it hard too, i pull away fairly quickly and am a truck length ahead of the 'almighty chevy'. I slow down because there's another traffic light ahead, and he drives by me. he laughs and gives me a shrug as if to tell me 'oh well, so im wrong'. It was the funnest race i've ever been in.

I have a one just like it at a red light with a bunch of kids in chevy Duramax... You could just feel the anticipation!!! Light went green and I was gone... I was a good 1/2 or more truck length ahead!!! It was so awsome at the next light HE WOULDNT EVEN LOOK AT ME!!!!!

Had my son with me, I always tell him not to race and drive my truck careful. Well these kids pull up beside me with that cummins and a custom exhaust so loud you couldnt talk. the light turned green and we were off. I didnt say a word or even grin. When we got home the son has to tell mom, GUESS what dad raced and dodge on main street taday and beat them bad. In my defense I said I was getting in front so we could talk over their exhaust noise. The wife didnt believe me. Son said, I know he was racing cause I was sucked back in my seat so hard I couldnt pull forward. LOL I didnt even kick in the 5.6 mod
i blew the doors in on a 96 2500 ram cummins aluminum (sp) flat bed it was also a short bed i gave the kid 3 trys i literally blew his doors in from a red light on flat ground for about a 1/4 , then jumped on the highway pulled up to 60mph honked 3 times and we were off and well i tookhim again that was for about 5 mins , then i decided to be nice and see how he could pull a 2 lane hill for a mile its a step one too i made to the top of the hill first : ) haha the kid went back to the party and was tellin his buddies yea both trucks are pretty equal and i jsut smiled and laughed and walked away
Good story bajakid! Whatcha got for mods? Certianly not stock to blow a D-max away. I miss driving my truck, but these gas prices have caused me to drive my commuter solely. My truck is just a weekend warrior and it seems I rarely get a chance to race, then if I do I always think of the fuel I am wasting.

thats the odd thing, i am stock... or so i thought, im left thinking the owner before me modded it somehow.
As i was driving by his house lastnight i saw him outside spraying out a carburator for his dirtbike, so i had to stop and give him more crap. I pulled up and said, 'whats up slow poke' he just made excuses. He told me the only reason why i beat him was because i spooled up at the light. which may actually be true, if the turbo lag in the duramax's are anything like my 7.3, spooling up vs. not spooling up could make a huge difference.
The D-max is supposed to have a variable vane turbo, like the 6.0's
ask him if you can look at it, you can see the tag from the driverside, its kinda hard to read, but I am pretty sure there varable vane, for nearly instane spool up.

ok... here's my tale of today... i'm coming home, running up the highway.. i have been having a little problem accelerating under load at low rpms and i thought i happened again as i was going up the on ramp... so.. i slowed down a little, then goosed the throttle to get some boost and see if the "stall" would occure again... no stall, but, tons of black smoke out the pipe because i'm on the 85hp setting on the predator, and... ALL OF THE SMOKE GASSED OUT THIS HITCH HIKER THAT WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD...! i didn't even see the guy until i looked in my rearview mirror at all the smoke he was standing in...! he's coughing and waving his arms around and flippin' me off...! i felt really bad, but i couldn't help but laugh...!
