I don't really care what anyone says but Duramaxes run period! I know have beat a few and lost to a few but they run good! If they want to talk smack let em' if you beat them on the track good but if they beat you I guess you have no defense......

Jeff has done some tweaking on it that's for sure. He is a very crafty person.

If I ever get out pulled by a Duramax I will be the first to shake his hand.

yup small town stuff mostly we have about 50-60 diesels come out. Even the small block gm crowd breaks front end parts though. I can't figure out why GM hasn't done something better with the front end setup on their pickups.

If you blow up something in the stock weak IFS once, you could have easilly paid for a set of tie rod sleeves and cognito pitman/idler arm braces.

Those cognito's dont work that great, i would spend the coin on the centerlink and be done with it! Had a truck with the cognito's on and his wheels still toed in bad! He wasnt happy with them so he bought the centerlink and said thats what he should have in the first place!

Im putting quite a bit of power through my front end (tie rod sleeves, cognito braces, stock centerlink) and in 97,000 miles, lots of drag racing, and two sled pulls, Ive only worn out one driver side wheel bearing.

If you drop the torsion bars so everything is flat, you will not get toe in with cognito's and tie rod sleeves. If you race with the bars cranked, yes you will get a little toe in even with the cognito's and tie rod sleeves. The solid centerlink is another bulletproof option, but you lose some turning radius because it gets rid of the ackerman in the steering. The GM's have poor enough turning radius IMO, so I didnt do the centerlink, and have been more than happy with the cognitos.
