Hello to all you lot.

I have just taken a six week holiday over in the USA (florida) and stopped with some friends. While i was over there, I decided to take a test drive of a 2006 chevy silverado 2500HD classic with the duramax diesel engine.

To say i was inpressed was a total understatment. Compared to the lame vehicles we have over here in the UK, the chevy is out of this world.

Anyways, enough of this talking, making me druel. lol. Anyways, I am buying one soon, having it shipped over here for me to use (gonna scare the hell out the locals)[8D]

I have been trying to find out what the standard top end speed is on the Diesel equipped 2500HD. I can find it for the gas burner but not for the diesel.

Also I like to make the vehicles i own and drive more powerful and reliable, I did buy and read some diesel truck mags while out there, found some intresting equipment to fit to the truck, But would like to know what other people have fitted and what they would reccommend fitting straight off the BAT.

I got a 2006 dually 4X4 with the Duramaxup to 96 mph and it shut off there. These new D-max engines have got some power!

I have a Duramax and talked to the Chev. Service Mgr. about the top speed of it and he stated all the GM trucks were limited to 98 mph. I tried it once and that is exactly where it stopped. It ran up to that speed pretty quick. I had a loaner last week which was a 2007 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3 V-8 and it did exactly the same thing, stopped at exactly 98 mph.

Yeah, the D-max that I drove did not take long at all to reach that speed!
