ROTFL...

First of all, the DMax is a GM product joint venture designed with Isuzu input (sounds like you've heard of Isuzu...you know, the ones that've been building diesels for 80 years), and built from the foundry up in Illinois (you know...USA).

Second, as far as "everything's ironed out now" :rolleyes: Right...that's why the 6.0 Navistar PowerJoke is being discontinued in the near future? Navistar/Ford is going to start all over again and enlist 10's of thousands of dissatisfied owners of problem laden trucks as beta-testers again.

FMC better get there buy-back checkbooks warmed up...again. :evilb:

Third of all, the most proven, and powerful diesel performance products are developed out for the LB7 DMax (01-04.5) and the LLY (04.5-06). The LBZ is mechanically the same as the 06 LLY (serious mech buildup)...but with more powerful and proprietary programming that the aftermarket hasn't cracked yet. They are working on it and the Edge products for the LBZ should be available in June.
Problem is that the undeniably most reliable trans in this segment (read Allison 1000) is maxed at about 650 lbs. Transmissions are the limiting factor in the diesel power wars. Getting a trans phsically beefy enough in parts size to handle the kind of power these things are capable of making, into this segment of trucks, is going to leave us with Corvette size footwells. The DMax design is overbuilt (especially after the afformentioned latest mechanical beef) and most prepared to make BIG power with mods

Fourth, as far as your reported mileage...

you're blowing smoke alright...and I bet it smells like weed. :p
