Interesting race with a dmax
#47
Not Really.
Some DMX guys can back it up. You don't even need to acknowledge it. Just keep on keepin on.

Stop by here more often and we can cause trouble together.

Trust me bud, I know what the dmax's can do. Seen em at the track all the time. I got lucky with this one. Wasn't even in the mood to race but if he was cocky enough to mess around then I wasn't gonna back down from the fight. All I know is I got lucky against him and I won.
But a win is a win, so congratulations!

That's real funny coming from someone thats been here all of a few moths. And please esplain (In the voice of Ricky) to me how I was shot down, would ya?

I quoted you. If you really need to re read it......
I have been here quite a while, Loved my dodges until the last one my father owned.....
Went to Dmax and haven't had any problems with dealers, parts, or warranty yet.
A kill is a kill I suppose. I rather like my 'sleepy' farm truck. Works hard, Plays hard, and gets better mileage than my old CTD.
Oh yeah, it's kinda quick too

ive gotten my butt handed to me by every new truck...but i spank every 7.3 of my era....and i barely have any mods...the duramaxes are fast stock but when they're modded they're very fast...the 6.0 is fast as well when its running...but how many of them are running for more thna amonth straight honestly

OK.. I know the D-max's are fast, but why?? Is it because of the 5 sp auto that makes them so quick, or just because it's a high revvin' v8? What about on the freeway, is it a little more equal?
I certainly won't mess with one on the road 'cause it wouldn't take but a box to blow me away.

And another thing - even if I did put it there it would just go to show how much more superior the cummins is - just a few checks in the got killed category compared to all the checks in the kills category.
Just stay calm, dont get you panties all wadded up to tight or you wont be able to get your dmaxipad in there

BTW BIG BLUE Sorry if I changed the scope of your thread. I know this was a kill post. My intention was to back you up - not get into a flame. In fact one of the first few posters is what made me jump in when he said something about a ford beating most dodges. Later.

5 speed auto, close ratio, and the DMax has a decent torque curve. Not nearly the Torque rise of the CTD, but it doesn't have to be with a close ratio transmission.
The RPM ceiling is the same on a DMX as it is the CTD. Unless we program it higher of course.

GJ has it.. once you get the engine up into the torque curve, the close ratio tranny with a good converter can keep the engine at peak. Hense they are quick. Get in one with a stick and its a different story.
I wouldn't fool with them, you will be embarrased if they have done any work to the tranny. As far as pulling goes, I tend to like the longer torque curve and high rise down low. Hey, each to their own, but the DMax is a quick machine right out of the box, and more so with a box..
I have to say that GJ's Twins make up for the torque difference. It feels like an I-6 once it spools.
