Tom, the new Powerstroke is tough!

If GM wasn't worried they wouldn't be doing this...

I just saw the new 3/4 ton version, LMAO!

I rode in a new P stroke 6.7 damn thing was up to 95 in no time and its quiet; it doesnt even sound like a diesel. Damn things a powerhouse -
But the D-Maxx has a proven record - the 6.7 doesn't have one yet

I mentioned them briefly in this topic:

http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=649061

The GM Ad Guys already had a couple of "Old Fat Guys" in the "Max and Al" Chevrolet Silverado Truck "pulling a tree stump" commercials (using a couple of Fat Comedians).

The Ford Guys didn't need "comedians", they used Engine Dynos and Real World "pulling demonstrations" at an actual Logging Camp.

AGREE! (:>)

They'll need sympathy cards for their customers if the 6.7 turns out to be as bad as the 6.0 was. There's some on the dieselforum that have had their cams go bad already.

Yes it is, but I'll give GM credit the Dmax is one bad SOB ; Ive taken a liking to it.
The Cummins is great too, but its what surrounds it that I dont like -

Are you saying 455Grandville that the cams were bad in the 6.0L or the 6.7L engine?

Help me out there

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
