yea ive had my truck since 2005 and put the edge intake exhaust on and for two and a half years it ran great then started slipping and bit so i put a valve body in, then ended up doing injectors and water methanal and still held for another year and a half then. i figured drive it till it breaks so i did... well it never did actually stop working it just redlined when i would give it light throttle going 40 up a hill. and my vp is still strong. the shop i go to says i might have the strongest stock cummins they sow. lol i doubt it but i still cant believe what i put the transmission through and it held up that long. its kinda cool seeing the difference between the stock trans with all the upgrades and now a billet trans. what a huge gain in power!

Its that old arguement of only #2 or with stuff. At the end of the day, as long as the duramax is behind you dreaming about a dodge, its a good day. Its getting old seeing almost nearly stock trucks blast out big HP or fast et's with a bottle. I just like seeing any diesel truck put up big numbers or low et's. No bottle or not...Its just a very good day when its my truck that wins an event and its hasn't happened yet. So my fingers are still crossed.

Lil dog, your truck is so clean you could get it dirty once in while. At least once and join us mortals.

Every Dmax I've run, has my good view of rear bumper and have choked on my smoke trail. Somedays its fun to play with them. I even gave one four truck lengths passed him and waved as I drove by. He had to buy beer that night. Buddies with new trucks, they make me laugh.

Try chipping the DMX

If you dare might not like the results though..... some Dodges don't like watching GM tail lights.

Is there something about the tranny's that has changed? I have been keeping tabs as the EMSI has one and I have been told, 120 is the limit on the stock setup.. True or not?
