i am looking at buying a 1 ton diesel four by four crew cab full box.can anybody tell me who makes the best one.thankyouDON

it appears im waisting my time here.you prob.dont even know what zero lash is! DIESEL PEOPLE.DON

the duramax diesel is a great motor.but it has one problem.aluminum heads.all of the auto ind.know that the two metals dont work together properly.different exp. temps.DON

i used to work as a marine eng.we would never allow alluminum heads on a motor

I don't think you need a truck.


I'd personally shy away from them. They've got that ugly "big" thing going for them, they use way too much fuel, the engine block and heads have no problems with them, and what's with the whole excessive torque and towing capacity? I mean, you Really don't need to be able to carry that much stuff, do you?


You should look into a Scion (http://www.scion.com/).


They sound more your style anyway.

Well Don





Do some research here and else where to make your own decision ....


If you narrow your search down to the Duramax diesel and Allison transmission then you have come to the right place for information ...


The Aluminum head in the Duramax is a non issue and is holding tremendous amount of our hot rodding upgrades and turbo boost PSI ...We have come along way in technology and it's my belief you'll be seeing more of the same in the future ...


Read the forum and ask questions ...





Mac

Don...

Don't drink salt water

it appears im waisting my time here.you prob.dont even know what zero lash is! DIESEL PEOPLE.DON





"Zero lash" is what I hope my wife gives me when I make a new mod to my truck.

Hey Crawler,
I understand the zero lash chit. So far I haven't been able to adjust to it. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif
What's the secret: wife or Mods


DAVE

I'm still trying to figure out who he's talking to. Seems like we're reading one side of a different conversation...

Look at the times he posted guys, he was probably coming off a bender. I wouldn't get in a tizzy about him.

Who can spell TROLL?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif Makes a post then with in minutes gripes about wasting his time, then replies to his own post 3 times in a row. Wow 4 total post and they are one after the other.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

LOOK like a Trol to me too

Maybe he just has no friends, go easy on him. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Broken Heart.gif


Poor guy

He does too have friends. 3 of them, hence the 3 additional posts.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif


Me, Myself and I.

Wow, some of you guys are mean...

Amazing, I guess the leading manufacturers of aluminum heads for the high performance industry such as Edelbrock, World, Ford Racing, Mopar Performance,CFE, Merlin, ETC.... who build parts for the fastest, NOS injected, blown, cars in the world and have hundreds of years combined automotive engineering experience have all been wasting their time with aluminum parts, you really should call them and let them know. You stated in one of your many replies to YOURSELF that you worked in marine engineering industry, then you should understand the negative effects of salt water on non anodized aluminum and that being the reason for the marine industry wisely choosing not to use aluminum for heads. Oh, and I don't think technicaly swabbing decks can be considered in the "marine engineering" field.

Well said Crawler Hauler

Thank you, Crawler hauler
