Is there anyone close to York, Pennsylvania who would be willing to give my wife and I a test drive in a Duramax with a LLY engine. It must have a transmission upgrade and at least a box. We want to feel the difference with an upgrade and a box, like the Edge on level 5.
Thanks,
Doug

I can't help you, but I must ask: Are you trying to convince the wife it is a necessity?
I don't have a wife, but atleast your wife is willing to give it a try!

I'll bet you'd find someone there that would give you a ride.
StraitDiesel,
This is Lisa writing, nah, he isn't trying to talk me into it but I read the post you guys put on and would really like to have my truck like some of these. I am just afraid to take the plunge and do it. I guess I am over-thinking it. I love my truck and it is my daily driver so I am reluctant to do it without knowing what it will be like.
Diesel Day Dreamin,
Yea, let us know when you get it set up, we'd love to take a ride! Thanks for the offer, we're only about 45 minutes from you.
minisub,
Thanks for the heads up, I'll go in & check it out.

You don't need a ride. Just do it.
The beefed up transmissions shift normal if not better, no harsh shifts.
The increased power (hp & torque) makes a daily driver so much easier to drive. If you want to pass someone you have already done it, effortlesly.
Oh yeah, change the shocks and put Dynamat extreme in the truck.
The stock shocks are junk from new and the sound suspression of Dynamat Extreme is amazing even though these trucks are quite from the factory.

Should be at least a couple bombed Dmax's there.
If not, you could at least take a ride in a 600+ hp Powerstroke!!:eek: ):h :D
