parted out my mystic and picked up a duramax, and i love it so far. perfect for daily driver duty. only mods are MBRP straight pipe, AFE stg II intake, and an EFI live tune. along with some 285's A/T's on the factory wheels for the appearance factor, i like a clean stock look. only other mods i plan on doing are smoked cab lights and tow mirrors. then it's time to start saving for a foxbody, not having a mustang is depressing at times, but this truck sure is fun.

a straight center link and tie rod braces fix that problem. about 300 bucks worth of parts. nice uneducated attempt at a burn though.

i could post some youtube videos of duramax's making full pulls, etc... but i'll let you put your expert youtube navigation skills to good use.

O.P., I suppose you somehow missed the last video? And also, you shouldn't have to spend ANY money to "repair" G.M.'s flawed I.F.S. on that heavy of a truck...Jus' sayin'....

maybe i missed it because you edited it in at the last minute, not that it really matters. not sure what point you're trying to make by useless bashing, but if you feel the need to vent in the form of terrible flaming, be my guest.

2V99GT, i love duramax's and you got a nice!

BladeRunner has no room to talk, he drives a wanna be mustang, wanna be police car, Thunderchicken.

BladeRunner... if the trucks should come with a beefier IFS, then why do 03/04 cobras require modification to the IRS to hold any power? stfu dude.

Nice truck, looks just like my brother's.

Put some tie rod sleeves on and the front end should be fine. Those trucks are pretty quick with just a tune. Best out of the 3 diesels without a doubt in my mind!

There's nothing wannabe about a T-Bird, since they were around long before your precious Mustangs. As for the "Wannabe police car" thing, if I wanted to be a cop, I would be. But I'm not, so there's nothing wannabe about that either.

You ARE aware that there is a marked difference between the front end of a 3/4-1 ton truck and the ass end of a sports car, right? Pull your head out of your ass and think before you post again.




As for you, O.P., my original post was meant to be in jest, but I suppose people have too thin of skin around here any more. In other words,

Nice truck and awesome pics! That dude talkin crap is an idiot. I could post vids of Cobras breaking halfshafts at the drag strip but does that mean it's shitty and you shouldn't drag race them?
