How does the D-Max compare to the Vortec 6000 (300 hp)? My dad got a 2500HD new in 2001 and I thought back then the D-Max would have been the better option, especially if he had gotten a plow for it. However, after the diesel price went up...I was thinking twice about if he had went with that.
its a particle filter...basically all the soot that a diesel emits is caught in this thing...looks kind of like one of those really thick shower sponge things that chicks use...only a lot thicker....a truck with a DPF will never blacken the tailpipe...not for a while anyway, then they use extra fuel to "burn off" the soot that gets caught in the DPF and spit out in the form of ash
its a crock, your MPG goes down so you are burning more fuel which is not helping the environment any more then not releasing the particulate matter into it...the new Cummins went from a 5.9L to a 6.4L and on paper has more horsepower...but because the engine has to work harder to push the exhaust gas out you loose the extra power..they make kits that "delete" the DPF but they are for off-road use, you can use them in on-road trucks until the day they start making emissions tests for diesel rigs 2008 and later

True...But the new Cummins is a 6.7L.
on the bright side i went to look at a 6.7 today...what a sharp truck
