Re: [A/S] rivets
Hi Sam
I recently went to a truck show sponsored by GMC. At the show they had an F
350 with a powerstroke diesel, a Dodge Ram 3500 with the Cummins Diesel and
the GMC 3500 with the Duramax Diesel. Each truck was fully loaded and had
5500 lbs of weight in a trailer behind it. The course you could drive on had
a few small hills, slalom section, and a long straight away you could punch
the truck on. All 5 of my friends and I agreed the Ford was the best with the
GMC a VERY close second. It was the quietest for sure and had a great cab
section interior. The dodge was to us by far the worse. It had very bad turbo
lag, was loud as heck, and shook like my grandma's old wash machine. I
understand that Isuzi makes the engine for GMC, the have been making diesel
truck engines for a long time. If I was going to buy a new truck, it would be
a diesel for sure. I think you will find most on this list that have had both
gas and diesel and pull a lot would agree. I know Hunter raves about
Bruiser:-)
