Check out Duramax - Best Puller?????

Over on the DMAX Page:

http://forum.thedieselpage.com/ubb/u...c;f=3;t=007672

I run up and down the road with the Fords and Dodges and Dmax's, while going to rodeos & team pennings and cattle sortings, we often run and camp together. And the Dmax's are always out in front on the hills. On two different trips one of the 6.0 Fords broke down and we had to go back and move the trailer for them. I am not brand loyal at all, I have towed with and owned the other brands. But I have to tell you it's pretty hard to beat the Dmax allison combo. I would think that maybe there is something wrong with the your trucks. They will run much better after they are broke in also.
I talked to a guy that was unhappy with his Dmax, and he took it back to the dealer and they adjusted the throttle potentiometer (did I spell that correctly?) Something to do with the go pedal. Any way he ain't complaining anymore, except he is crying about the spinning wheels & speeding ticket he got about a week later. I guess some of us just won't grow up! Hope you get it worked out. Drive safe no matter what you drive
