LOL obviously you have never worked on fords and ran into their COUNTLESS "better ideas"
For what its worth its not really your age that bothers me, its the fact that you tend to argue with not only everything I post but most other people as well. Your a smart assed know it all, you listen to your friends and think their word is gosple and the end all, undeniable fact. I guess you wasnt around a few short years ago when ford and dodge where trying to make their pathetic gasoline transmissions work behind the diesels and GM come out with basicly a smaller version of a semi trans.
The way you talk your obviously clueless to what real hot rodding is. You seam to focus on the horsepower then say the trans is weak. A real power junkie that knows his ass from a hole in the ground knows that if you make more power you need to beef up the rest of the drive train to handle the added power. Its blatantly obvious that you have no clue that there are ways to build the allison to handle the power. All you see is programers and exhaust and raw power and a weak STOCK transmission.
Do yourself a favor and youtube some sled pulling videos of duramax/allison trucks up in the 1500ftlb area before you go spurting off that an allison cant hang.
actually im not clueless, i know that you must beef up everything, and i dont take it as the gospel, i know about all of fords crap problems, thats not the point our stuck on that dmaxes are the best, but it aint true, yes the allison will hold, with billet shafts and all the other goodies, theres been 3 guys around here in the last year competely have to redo their trannies because of getting tunes on their trucks, im not focues on the hp, but ok
anyways, hp doesnt mean anything, tg is where its all at, every racer hotrodder knwos that, the reason my buddy got beat by the fors is simple, the ford has more power in every way, that ford has ***** about every dmax in this area
yup, i argue with everyone, i only argue about things that i atleast have an idea, no my friends word arent the gospel, but when you hear the same thing about the same style truck over and over and over again, you tend to thing its the truth, and to the tranny comment about chevy putting one in thats a small semi, yup, the allisons were the best when they first came out, welcome to 2012 my friend, we now have far more advanced things, you can now call people with out even touching the phone, and you can get internet on your phone to, your making comments that dont even relate to this subject, your talking about when the dmax first came out, before the common rail cummins, before the 6.4 powerstroke, or heck, even the 6.0 powerstroke
lets face it, the dmax is not the best, the cummins isnt the best, and neither is the powerstroke, they all have their ups and their downs, but the dmax has nothing going for it really, it will get smoked in a race by a powerstroke, it will get outlasted by a cummins, and probably out pulled by anything in stock form, even modded, they tend to be the same way.
ive seen the whole 1500fftlb pulling sled thing, those arent stock allisons, they have competly different internals, just like a 800hp dmax, just like 600hp dmax. yes, fords need built trans then too,
