I'm surprised the MODS haven't moved to general Diesel ,more of my stomping grounds ...

Needed a little livening up over there. That article is terribly pro Dodge. Makes you think GM trucks don't compete.

I've seen that article and others and the Celebrity Corner reading ....
Pure Dopar propaganda ....
Bottom line you ain't gonna change it ,and we're (GM guys) are considered tried and true and extremely loyal ....
It's a tough closed mind "younger" group there and It's really easy to get a "ass" for every Dodge seat ....http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Pinch.gif

On Edit : You should have seen when the news was let out Sam sold Midnight and bought a Duramax ....
Dude it was rough Mods were trying to stifle the blood bath ...Edited by: Mackin
MAC I think it's great. You have loyalists of each brand then you have the ones that get fed up and change. One thing i like about this site is you guys (mods and Nick) don't worry about it. It's all good as long as nobody gets totally out of control.
So far TDR is taking my post in stride. I respect them for it if it continues.

Like I said over on the TDR,I agree with you Hoot,the Dodge tranny isnt even close to the Allison or the Torque Shift.I am loyal to Dodge but I know the weak points and the tranny is at the top of the list.
I am the one that started that thread,and I seen it first hand the DMAX simply wiped the floor with the Dodge,granted there was some problems found on the Dodge and the dealer is replacing the turbo,but that is not the first time I seen a DMAX stock beat up on a Dodge Stock,give credit were it is due,it is ok to be brand loyal,but to be blind to the facts doesnt help the cause one bit,it Ford gets the quirks out of the 6.0 both GM and Dodge will have to work hard to catch up.
