I couldn't imagine going from my Duramax to a gasser. Shadman you won't be beating any Mustang GT's now.

Shaddy...you need to quit knocking the Dodge...ShadMan said:Yep, Scott (wishin4fishin) made me a deal I couldn't refuse so I went over to the semi-dark side. Not as dark-side as Dodge, though...
Bring your piddly Chevy on...all you will see are my Tailight's...and you can watch a Movie on my back screens when you can't get your Truck to go faster than 90.......LOL....

I only knock the Dodge because I've had a couple...LOL! It's hard to win a race when your tranny fails!
Yeah, the gasser isn't going to win any races, but I have to say...the new Z-71s aren't nearly as slow as the old ones. They are surprisingly quick with the 5.3L motor. I think it'll do a little better than 90mph! And the 5.3L gas motor will last every bit as long as the Duramax, which is hardly known for longevity.
Actually, I REALLY hated to trade the Powerstroke in. I loved that truck! But $200/month drop in payments and skipping a couple payments while I'm tight on cash helped to make my decision a bit easier!

For the love of god. I had to drive a Z71 last week while my buddy used my dodge to pull the boat down to fish. I hated every minute of it. The auto fold sideview mirrors are cool though. It was a DOG on the go pedal in comparrison too.

i've owned ford, gmc and dodge trucks. the ford is a great work truck; the gm products are wonderfully comfortable trucks that can do almost anything the ford can. the dodge truck is great for trading in for a gmc, chevy or ford truck.

Yeah..I have my eye on a Powerstroke with a custom front bumper I saw out front @ Monument Chevrolet..
Sure looks clean, and well taken care of...doesn't look like it has been in Texas long either...
My Dodge doesn't get boat duty...I bought it for a family vehicle...
And to SMOKE Chevy's and Fords....
I have a Chevy 4x4 as a daily driver....I watch parts fall off of it daily...EXPENSIVE parts...but...I guess after 220,000 hard miles including 2 roundtrips to Alaska..Submergent's at the Beach. and Trailrides in West Texas...it should be falling apart..
Is there anything you can tell me about this Powerstoke I am eyeballing Shaddy?
