Richard Cheese Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 2006 Dodge w/Cummins stock except 3" lift and 34" tires: Purchased in April. Have run about 6,000 miles. Averaged 17.2 MPG... thats towing, highway, and around town. :freakin_nuts: :freakin_nuts: Way better than the 8.1 in the 2500HD. 10 hwy, 8 around town, 4/5 towing. yeah, those 8.1's, though powerful, sucked the fuel down like a drunk that's been sober for 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, if you ever crack a piston I can edumacate you on how GM won't warranty it. And I don't care who's truck can beat mine. Most others probably can cause they have more chit into theirs. I don't care. My truck is pretty much stock. It only has exhaust and a mild programmer on it. I didn't buy a 1 ton truck to race. It's to haul my toys out to the dunes. http://mcratracing.com/k/1101mcrat.wmv check that out pete diesel only lol this guy is my idol!! rememberalmost anything is possible with a duramax even good milage.(if you would have asked me about milage about a month ago i woulda saud it wasnt possible but after getting a great tune from a member of tdp and mcrat racing i get great milage.)

CaptNkllm Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 sry bout that edge thing then lol im always on edge hp has not been proven to break the diesel pistons yet just in theory. now a new motor with new piston on the track running clost to 700hp i believe cracked a piston or pistons from the extreme egt's not from hp. but like you said its still being debated. easy for gm to say it was from a programmer that runs what a hight tune of 120hp? o im sry you have just lost your warranty over a tune that not even pushed a moter even close to its limits? now with that 120 tune where are the egt's at the time of failure? i seen trucks run 600 hp without failure because they keep there egt's under control. most of the failures at the track that have been confirmed are from extremely high egt's not from hp. unless of course there is other info gm has posted? lol they are like the govt. not to be trusted!! on my overheat issues on my 05 lly dmax i took it in to the dealer( after i ran temps past the red on tranny and motor, with the warning from the dash ding ding also) they told me it was ok and it was normal not to worry about it. i seen the post that gm sent out and that is what it said( it was normal). so my trust in the engineers isnt that great. and ill add 2 to your 1 Capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bulletin explaining how the programmers are causing engine damage "by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive cylinder pressure and temperature". I cannot post it all though due to GM copyright and company policy. I'm not gettin anymore into it because I have to go get ready for the dunes right now. See ya tonight.
