[quote=“dozr,post:17,topic:33063"”] no diesel no care. [/quote] EXACTLY what I was thinking as I read the specs. 10k lb curb weight with only 450 ft-lbs torque. Sounds like a pile of shit to me. ---

Im sure they would be more than happy to pop in one of the duramax’s they have for it. Those are like 320hp with either 600 or 620 ft-lbs. If you want to get really burly, they offer a 7.8 Inline 6 diesel putting down 300hp and 860 ft-lbs ---

Seems underpowered. Needs a diesel. ---

[quote=“bobbyg1243,post:19,topic:33063"”] im looking at the back and i think it should be a dually or however the fuck you spell it. i know most people are going to call me crazy but it looks like it has no balls. throw some extra tires on the back and then you can call that thing a truck. [/quote] Topkicks come with duals, but to match how it looked in the movie they put some wide 20’s on it. ---

You can get the 4500 with a Duramax. I drove a 5500 crew cab with a Duramax. It’s not bad but not fast. I’d bet the gas engine truck is faster. You can’t get the Caterpillar or Isuzu six cylinder in a 4500, or 5500. 4500 and 5500 are the only GMT 560 available in 4wd. Here’s the test rig I’ve been using at work. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/5500_2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/5500_2.jpg) Here’s a MXT that another group is working with. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/MXT.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/MXT.jpg) ---
