    well the only reason i wouldn't go cummins is the shear size and weight. the only reason i wouldn't go duramax is i just never liked duramax and the wright. they both have downfalls and they both have good too. but one over the other would be cummins for me but personally i think there is still alot to be had with an 8.1 but if it ever got in the mud it might not perform as well as a small block. i guess the difinitive factor would have to be $$$ whenever i got to that point. if i could find a 3500 chevy with a trashed body i would probably just run whatever motor it had in it to begin with. which would probably be a cummins. if i found a dodge 3500 it would probably have a cummins. and i really doubt i would tow with it anyway. really just not economical. but would be interesting to see. but its not like theres a good place to put a gooseneck in the car so i dont need crazy towing ability

I right around 5k and im low 12's easy i just need the tuning time with it and im hoping to squeeze a 11.9 pass out of it but we will see. As soon as i can find a worthy weight trailer to hook up to i will and ill get it weighed

    I'm used to real Cummins', like the ones in front of a 10 speed. Ever seen a Western Star with 15 tons of 'taters on outrun a Harley F150? I have. We have a mega cab with a 6.7 too and it does OK, gone back to the dealer a few times for stupid emissions crap failing though. Way more balls stock for stock than any D-Max I've driven though. I've never had much to do with modded diseasels except turning up pumps and straight pipes.

    Thanks and just to be clear im not a cummins hatter i do like them (especially for the price) but the dmax i do think is better in many ways and its very underestimated alot of people dont realize what they are really capable of

    now im a chevy guy through and through but i have yet to see a duramax spin all four wheels with nothing more than a tune. My friends ram 2500 can, and it makes me insanely jealous....

    Dmax has gone faster than any cummins or stroker, cummins are WAY overrated.
