Granted I'm not a big chebby fan, but I give Dmax-hd the respected he has earned, and get disgusted with persons like you who are too bull headed to even listen to other people that have other preferences.

farmBoy stated my thoughts perfectly.DMAX is a great guy and a great poster. His posts are always informitive and well thought out and I always look forward to seeing them. Now back to the topic. Ive been to truck pulls where both the duramax and 6.0 have pulled. This truck pulling is so much driver and technique and weight distribution and sometimes just luck. Ive seen both duramaxes and 6.0s win in truck pulls as well as Dodge cummins. At this one county fair truck pulling is a tradition that goes back many years. Everybody comes out to pull. Really its just one big gtg with your buddies havin a good time watchin an pullin and helping others out when you can. A big party. Everybody always seein what the other guy is doing. So maybe you shouild try it when you pull. I dont take it too seriously. All the diesels are good truck pullers with the right driver. I just hope nobody has a serious breakdown.

The smell and the sound of diesels were the reasons I first started liking diesels when I was younger.

Well, I'm younger now, and the thing I like most about diesels
is the sound. And the smell.
They should make a CD of diesels running. You know, have a track for each engine.
Oh yeah, don't forget your diesel exhaust air freshener.

I have never seen a duramax over take a powerstroke at any pull that Ive been. Ive been to quite a few pulls this past summer. In the pulls Ive seen the powerstrokes consisitently in the top 5. Winning several pulls and placing second to the Cummins. The guy I know has won most pulls has a powerstroke. Hes pretty experienced thiough and has a good technique.. The GMs front end is prone to breaking the tie rods at some off the pulls Ive been too.
