Rod Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 I’ve been hearing good things about the 3.0 Dmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 3.0 Dmax is a beastly little engine. The timing chain design is VW-level fucktarded, but everything else about that mill is great. If I didn't need the payload, I'd have bought a half ton with that engine over my 6.6L Gasser HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were junk but the cummins and 7.3 international at the time were bullet proof then of course the Dmax was a massive step forward ford went backwards big time with the 6.0 and 6.4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Man had a 94 2500 Suburban with the 6.5 turbo. Drove it a bunch. That thing was so fucking slow and was a bitch to start if you didnt get the glow plug time just right.

Relocating the electronics off the top of the pump usually fixed the injector pump issues from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
