My friend got a 2012 chevy 2500 hd. The whole running gear isent gm, it's izuzu duramax, Dana axles bendex breakes and Allison tranny. He said it was 400 hp and 750 ft pounds torque. He took me for a ride I couldent believe how it got up and went. It also has a engine break, or Jake break and has some kind of exhaust fluid, he said it uses 5 gallons to 5000 miles. It even had 2 alternators on it. Alot different from my ford 7.3! Lol

It is not GM designed. It was designed by Isuzu engineers while the 1998 DMAX joint venture was partly owned by GM. GM gave Isuzu techs input about what they wanted and the Isuzu techs designed the first Duramax.
1998 DMAX joint venture made engines at Morraine, Ohio. Same place the 6.2 diesel was made in 1982.
By year 2000, GM owned 49 % of the DMAX company.
In 2002 – GM ownership dropped to 12% GM then bought full control of the Duramax used in GM full-size trucks.

Well, the M1-A1 turbo tank that is the US Army's tank of choice is said to be running the same Allison tranny that you find in GM trucks. Okaye.
Driven one since the Feds took them over? Try it you may like it. I did after about 25 years away from the badge.....traded in my Dodges.

Just the sales tax on that truck is more then I've ever paid for any car/truck in my life. If financed and with tax it's probably a $60,000 truck. To impress me - it would have to be capable of space-travel.
I'll stick to my Ford-IH IDI turbo 7.3, my many 6.2 GMs and my Dodge-Cummins 5.9. $3300 was the most I've ever paid for any of them.

That's the way these compines are today, I think they have a back log of 40 million or something like that he said, money owed to them for jobs they have done. They have a payroll of $300,000 a week, for 150 employees., so I don't think they care about a $60,000 truck, like me or u bying a pack of gum to them. Lol
Looks to me that the poster (JDdriver) was referring to JayinNY's 7.3 diesel. That was indeed an IH - "Navigating the Stars" engine. Not designed by Ford as the new ones are now.
Jayin NY stated “Alot different from my ford 7.3 “
JDdriver then stated “your furd is an International Engine”
He was correct

That is 1 gallon U.S. every 1000 miles. I'm also impressed. was it all down hill freewheeling or is there more to the story.??
break,, to split asunder.
...Brake,, to stop this machine. mostly used while going downhill so as you don't exceed the lawful speed until you reach the speed camera at the bottom.

We have a few new GMC and Chevy's at work. They are fast and they tow alright. Not a one of them are worth what they cost even with the company discount. I'll keep my old dodges though. My father has an 07 Dodge with the 6 speed dodge auto. Its just like an allison. None of them no matter what brand are worth what they cost.

Hehe. I did a double take too
He meant the "exhaust fluid" (urea injection for emissions). Urea tank is supposed to be refilled at every oil change (or there about).
