Living with the duramax vs the 6.0L?

[57taskforce]

I’ve had a few duramax’s thru the years. LB7, LBZ and L5P. They L5P is simply bad ass. The other two were bad asses too but that L5P is a work of art, I’ve had both 6 speed and 10 speed Allison’s behind it and both were great, I liked the 10 speed the most though. I like the ability to work on the LB7 and LBZ quite a bit more though. All three were really good to me. I’m not sure where you are getting the constant hate on the duramax from, they are very good engines. If You want to see how good some of the power strokes are, start looking at the 6.0 and 6.4’s lol. The Cummins is a really good engine in all of its variants thru the years. As a rule of thumb the earlier the engine the less power it will have but the ability to work on it will be easier.
