    Heavy duty truck battle... Chevy vs Ford... Dodge was too weak to play...

    Ford goes down like a little girl... ford puts out a press release saying "were not wimpy"... Crowd laughs...

    The Dodge simply wasn't rated to play with the big boys...

    Ford loses across the board.

    Somehow that doesnt surprise me. That duramax and allison combo is tough to beat. Ford's new designs are really strange though. Reverse flow heads, and their rods have a 45* opening.

    Interesting. I recently saw a recent comparo between all 3 and the Ford was the quickest at the dragstrip.

    They said the high altitude and the design of the Ford turbo could have had a greater effect of having less efficiency. That GMC trounced the Ford though, 2 minutes faster! Thats a HUGE difference in power.
