Default need info on why duracraps suck

so I was down at the river and there were two dodges that almost made me cream my pants. One was a good ol 2nd gen with a 8" susp and 3" body and of course stacks. Anyways a buddy of mine was talking up duramax and I know nothing about them. Just wanted to be able to shut him up next time.

I cater to all brands and lemme tell ya, the ONLY thing wrong with a Duramax is that its an Isuzu designed engine. They provide GREAT economy numbers, excellent horsepower potential, and are fairly cheap to own and operate.

Fuel filter is a 2 hour hassel to change. Havent really worked on too many. Not really fond of aluminum heads on a cast iron block.

Need I say more? Oh well, I will anyways
The biggest, most obvious reason is because it is a V8 design. How many big rigs do you see with a V8 diesel?

here is my understanding. duramax is for racing, cummins is for towing or hauling, ford is for laughing at.

LMAO! Amen to that. And Most of them have that stupid mexican flag decal over the bowtie on the grille.
