TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

Hey guys, looks like Ive tradede sides. My dodge sold tonight and I going to get a Dmax tonight. Its a 2002 2500 4 door 4x4 short bed. Have to say Im gonna miss my Cummins alot, I still think that they are the best diesel, but I love that GM truck. Looks like I may have to change my name from cumminzrig to Dmaxrig. burnout

Glad you have seen the light!!! the Cummins is a great motor and will last longer than most others...however the D-max is definetly proving itself to be great as well. Not to mention that the GM trucks are built so much better than the dodge trucks. Have fun!!waytogo

If your's turns out to be as good a truck as mine has been, you're going to LOVE IT!

Ya what he said. I have 40K on mine now and every mile has been a pleasure. Dmax/Ally works great. waytogo

Hey guys, I love the truck!!!!!!! The truck has a bully dog chip, Im not sure exactly which one or how much extra ponys are added but it scoots down the road, very very nice. The GM is such a nice truck. Does anyone know how much power the 02 Duramax puts out stock, hp/tq?

IIRC its like 300hp and 520tq

For '02, 312/525 seems right from memory, but I could be wrong...

The LB7 motor ('01-04.5) was factory rated at 300/520 respectively.

Ok, chalk up another to my failing memory. I'll blame it on old age. :D

congrats on joining the dark side! I love my LB7, it just pulls and pulls!
