Diesel Question ?

Buddy of mine used to have a D-max..... It was, (notice the quotations) "500-550" HP..........
When on the throttle, it shuttered, and sputtered, and smoked, and missed, and popped, and spit, but was lightning fast. One day, he pulled a trailer, with his "500-550" HP. That was the last day, the thing blew up. He now has a Dodge, an honest 450HP, loves it, will never go back, and doesn't understand how his lower HP Cummins pulls harder than the D-max.....

I know of three other moneypi-I mean, D-maxes, pumped up, they all spit, miss, sputter, and they all have blown up. haven't seem a Cummins **** yet, from anything but absolute abuse, even the 650-700HP twin turbo alc injected thing my Buddy has. It is flat sick.......

But really, I know D-maxes run good, I just like picking on them, and after all, it is a Mopar forum!
