Guest spunkysandoval Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I sometimes drive a 2002 GMC SIERRA 2500hd crew cab with a long bed. It has a duramax diesle engine. It is made by isuzu. It has about 390+ hp, and 450+ ft lbs. of torque. This truck boogies. Diesel engines rock! The truck sounds freaking awesome too, big truck with much power = fun. It gets good gas mileage too. I recently made a trip to up to anaheim and then over to palm springs and back home on half a tank of gas. It was fun. Lots of nice scenery.

jgkurz Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 My buddy did 226mph at Bonneville in a 280ZX turbo with a diesel crank. Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 did you guys notice the gas mileage of it? that is the amazing part. i saw this before and if i remeber correctly it gets 21.6 mpg out of a 735 hp 1300 ft lb 5.9 liter I6 diesel engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChou Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 did you guys notice the gas mileage of it? that is the amazing part. i saw this before and if i remeber correctly it gets 21.6 mpg out of a 735 hp 1300 ft lb 5.9 liter I6 diesel engine Yeah, I heard that turbo diesel gets some crazy good gas milage. I think the TDI VW's get over 40 mpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SeanyD300zxT Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 all that gas mileage was on the stock injectors and computer though...hmm..sounds like something just to throw in for publicity..somehow have a feeling it wasn't making it's 800hp/1300ft/lbs on stock injectors and computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
