RE: need info on why duracraps suck
yeah I was giving him crap about the v8 design and how the il6 is obviously a self stabilizing engine.
If tchevys are for racing, why does youtube only have cummins tearing up tchevys.
Yeah Chevys larger series use cummins, now ferds commercial series line has the option of cummins or cat.
I wonder how long of a contract dodge has with cummins. Now what would be a damn shame if/when toyo comes out with a 1 ton they get cummins to jump ship over to them. LOL.
But like I said before, toyo is holding off on 1ton market as its gone down over 70% over the last year.

When I went to the Cummins customer appreciation lunch at BlueBonnet Dodge in New Braunfels, TX, Cummins said they were committed to the Dodge relationship. However their plant has a capacity of 750 engines per day and is currently running at ~450 engines a day due to reduced sales of the 6.7. Obviously they need to sell closer to capacity.

I think that most everyone already knows this, but a Cummins has 30% less moving parts than a Duramax, the Cummins is better balanced and also doesn't have aluminum head as the Duramax does.
This falls under personal opinion, but I can't stand looking at seeing the frame underneath the chassis, and to top it off, a white manufature's label stuck on it. I always happen to see that.

One problem with Duramax is how quiet it is. Everyone I know who has one complains about it and looks jealously at mine
The other issue isn't a Duramax problem but a Chuby issue....IFS need I say more?

I've heard the injectors are pressed into the head.....so, if you want to remove them, you have to pull the whole head and then press the injector out. Then, you get to press a new one back in.

As far as problems with the Duramax. The early ones had an overheating issue IIRC. Aluminum heads and IFS of course. It has EGR, so you have to deal with that crap, and if its anything similar to a Ford the EGR valves constantly plug up, EGR coolers pop and let coolant into the cylinders, or the valves stick open and the truck won't run. And if you want to get the full performance out of the engine you have to figure out how to disable the valve without setting a CEL.
