i went to a sled pull and watched the duramaxes hook to the sled and they fell slap on there face after about 1/4 track they just keep shifting, which is not good in sled pullin. but the old powersmokes tuged right on out the back door with it. maybe its different up north where "yall" are but down here powersmokes are top dogg

Must have been the pull, go to IRP next year or Scheid's and you'll see some nicely built strokers, but the Duramax and Cummins trucks outnumbered PSD powered trucks by a huge margin and did much better overall average.

the duramax may out run the psd but if you have ever worked on the lite duty truck there is no comparison in the ford and i always had chevy till about a year ago got tired of working on them every time i pulled a trailer the were broke down or broke down on the way but it is everybody to there own

To answer the original question - I've been eating them for lunch.

My boss man just purchased a 06 Duramax CC Dually with an auto transmission. I drove it, it is still all stock and it straight up hauls butt. The only thing I didn't like was how much the trany shifted, but if you use the manual mode on the shifter, you better hold on, I had it sidways the other day and really wasn't trying too just came out of a car wash and the tires were still a little wet. Can you say holy beep beep beep.

I can say holy beep beep beep. But I have yet to drive a duramax. Just driven my old 99 stroker and my 03 Cummins. I need to go play test drive at the dealerships.
