cummins diesel vs. 4.0 fx4
this is what my friend has a dodge 2500 and he just put a cold air intake and a performance chip in it. he wanted to race me again(raced him before and beat him) all i have is my 4.0 and a k&n drop in so we got on the highway and from 50 after third honk we went at it next to each other till bout 90 then he started creepin away till 95 so i guess he beat me by a hood but not bad imo...

I couldn't believe it....but I stomped a co-workers '06 Duramax a few weeks ago. I gave the lil ranger all it had. Fyi.....'06 Max's have 650 ft/lbs. Once again, turbo lag sucks.

How'd you beat a Dmax? We raced one with a WRX that had some tuning and couldn't catch it, it sounded great with our turbo mocking his turbo and the tires about ready to tear off.

man thats funny
idk where this ****s comin from, but i would LOVE to see a ranger keep up with a "built up diesel" i mean keep up as in atleast stay within a few car lenghts...
even a diesel with minimun modifications
my friends 92 7.3 non turbo beats me.. but im running 35s and the OHV, im with him till i shift to 2nd
all the modified trucks here are quick trucks

I do a lot of diesel tuning. Well it is the main source of my business. We have tested Duramax's, Powerstrokes and Cummins equipped trucks of various years against my old Ranger (3.0L manual reg. cab) and against this new one I have with the Explorer Express Blower. Depending on the mods to either truck it could be a toss up based on shift points and tuning. I have come to find the best combination for power hands down in a diesel is the Bully Dog Triple dog with outlook monitor, aFe Stage II Intake and a bully dog or MBRP 5" Exhaust with 5" down pipe.
My little Ranger is quick in the 1/4 mile. I know and have slips to prove it. But my buddy's 2005 F-250 Diesel with 8" lift and 36" tires smokes my truck with the above mentioned modifications.
I have concluded the Cummins engines have the same problem my Ranger does. We lack 2 cylinders and mid range power. It takes FOREVER for my blower to boost. I had an 07 Cummins Mega Cab and did a few things to it and it had the same problem. From a rolling start or even coming out of a corner it was so slooooow to build boost I was being passed by Yugo's. These trucks are made for starts from dead stops with boost built up to move the heavy truck.
My Ranger is good at only one thing: 1/4-mile runs as are many of these diesels. They get killed from rolling starts.

My buddy has an 06 Duramax with an Edge Racing dash programmer, 4'' monster exhaust and a AEM Brute Force air intake. My friend and I waxed him with my 99 Firebird 3.8L with Flowmaster exhaust, K&n filter and performance air lid. He got beat from the start and at 65mph. Course running down the interstate at 130 wasn't the smartest idea.

Turbo diesel trucks will out run any ranger ive seen...
The duramax is a very fast truck, with a tuner and exhaust.. i saw one run 12.9 at the track when i ran my bike...
Ive seen dodge diesels run 13.5 with propane injection...
No way would a ranger win against a built diesel.. turbo lag doesnt take that long...
