Well, I got a run with a Duramax 6 spd (ZF Tranny) ... It was a 2500HD 4DR 4x4 ...
Looks like he had a Magnaflow Exhaust due to the tip and decal in the window...
We were in the same lane, and he took off in front of me... Damn those things got some grunt!
We lined up at the next light, (out in the toolies for those concerned late in the p.m.) ?and I looked and we both nodded...
I got left foot on brake hard, and right foot loading her up to about 2K... He jumped out, and spun a bit, and took me a bit at first, we were about even until I shifted to 2nd, where he pulled a 1/2 truck on me, and when I got above 4K in second, I started to catch him again... It was a good strong walk at the top of second, and I hit third, and continued a decent walk... I shut it down at XX or so, and had 1/2 a truck length on him... Looked like he ran out of torque ... whew ... What a rush man ... We pulled over, and he had a K&N and the Magnaflow exhaust... He told me he was surprised to see me comin' after he had pulled ahead at first ... Man I had the AV wound up to avoid the big 3rd gear drop!
I bumped the rev limiter right into 3rd... He told me he beats Allison Duramaxes all the time, and the 2001 on down Powerstrokes get killed after 1st gear ... He told me I was the first truck to ever come back on him... He told me he could have done better if he didn't shift throttle up everytime... He had a healthy tool box, and a fifth wheel in the bed ... I asked him if he wanted to do it again, and he said he had to get his wife... Shuks
Looks like the little mouse can hang once he gets rollin' !!! ... I think if I was drivin' the Duramax, I would have beat me ... It seems like he should have the way the damn thing held on ... !!!
