now for the comparison between the Fords 7.3L and the Duramax,we have 2 OBS PSD's one with 400,000+miles and the other with 150,000 miles and both ofem need plugged in if you ever want to start them under 30* and our Duramax's will fire up everytime and never been plugged in..now our Duramaxs(3 ofem)range from 112,000-140,000 miles and never had any problems with them except for stuff caused by a guy learning how to tune with EFILive(i had to learn somehow)but even then nuthin serious,water pump gasket and a tranny upgrade since the stock Allison hates 500RWHP.
the 7.3L will get you there everytime but like my bro says even if they wanted to quit they ain't got enough power to blow up.
when it comes down to it put the DIESEL in your driveway that you want there.

PS,if you want lots of HP with little work the Duramax will smoke the PSD everytime thanks to the CR Injection System,and if you get a Duramax join us over at the DuramaxForum.com we can help you with the modds.
James just a tip on the 7.3's. Replace the glow plug relay and they will fire right up

hey Dave..i replaced glow plugs and relay switch on the 92 7.3L IDI sevaral times but i can't get my twin brother to understand that they still need plugged in when its cold and ether ruins the glow plugs so i quit replacing them and just letem start it however he can..he is a hard headed kid,why couldn't he be more like me..lol
we had to replaced the oil pan do to him runnin signs over and if that wasnt bad enough to top it off he drove the truck 12 miles with no oil and she still runs today with very little knocking..i was impressed.also not sur how but his Duramax holds up to his stupidity somehow..
enough with the ranting.

i kinda figured that you all were just meesing around,sorry i shouldn't have been so harsh about it..

depending what year Dmax you get you can save bigtime on a tranny build,the 6SP need very little work to handle 500RWHP,mainly a good TC from SunCoast and a good kit that will cost you a few hundred bucks.
with the right tuning,lift pumps and tranny upgrade you can easily run high 12's in a CC SB.
EFILive tunes will cost you $750,tranny uograde(my kit)cost less then $2000 and lift pumps around $500 or so.

What about the tie rods? I see them all the time at the track with the toe like -15 and the front tires doing the death shake. This is at stock height without cranked torsion bars.
