now you need to add the juice!!!!!

Dono - sweet. Thanks, now I want one even worse now. :)

Hey Dono,

Gotta love that truck, I have one also with the ext. cab in black.Man i love it, I run it around town with the overdrive off:D. Truck is a little hot rod, i set it up with :
SS Bull bar from Westin
Platinum Nerf bars from Westin
Piaa 1500 in the rear
Piaa 520 up front
Pro Comp 305 all around "they rub just a litte bit" on the
original 16" wheels
remote start
tinted the front windows 20% to match the rest of the windows
A.R.E. cap

Man..thats alot of crap :D :D

PS i ran the truck down to Miami for the boat show when I first bought it. Truck did 90 MPH at 2,500 rpm's, ran like a car. I'm thinking of putting sway bars on it, what do you think?

Best of luck with you truck,


;)zzie

gentilmen i'm glad you like your durmax but doge is cumming out with 305hp cummins and is going to keep the solid axel thank god im sorry to inform you your ifs is to week for your hp and tork but the best of luck with it

speaking of front suspension ...
 

did you notice the front suspension sits right on the bump stops from the factory ??:eek: why is this ? Anyone know ?

fountain1fan,

Those are all very good points. But when it's all said and done you'll still have a Dodge with the same tranny. There's no question that the Cummins motor is one hell of a motor. Can't say the same about the tranny though.

buck 183 you are 100% right if they doint change the auto to something a lot heaver it will suck! but for me i 'll take the 6 speed any way i like granny low gear some where around 6.55 ratio axel gerred at 4.10 pos traction it will pull the world

Nice truck Dono !


I'm a Dodge fan but definitly have to agree that the trans. is the weak link. Although I haven't heard of many newer (01-02's) breaking like the earlier ones did.
A friend of mine just bought a Dmax and it's definitly more plush than the Dodge but I didn't see too much difference in the way they rode though. We both have 285 BF all terrain T/A's on and those might make the ride softer.
My opinion is the Cummins is by far the superior engine , but with more noise than the Dmax.

Good choice, I like the 6 speed too. Great for pullin.
