Reply With QuoteI was under the impression that the manufacturers always advertised the HP and Tq #'s at the flywheel.
Have any of you guys had a dyno pull on a 06 Duramax TD with the allison tranny ? Reason I'm asking , because I've witnessed 3 pulls on one last saturday and the figures were consistent 287 HP , 525 foot lbs . Are the advertized figures [ 360 HP , 650 footlbs ] rear wheel or SAE ? Just curious .

Same here. Manufactures always advertise flywheel numbers not rear wheel.

I was pretty impressed with the economy pulling the boat to Havasu a few weeks ago
The mileage will improve once it's broken in.

Not, according to a dealer when you're asking:idea: . They tell me it's rear wheel horsepower :argue: . It started in 1972 when horsepower were supposed to be net. my 72 challenger was rated 240 net at the wheel .
My merc engine is rated at the prop :idea: , so I thought the industry should be standardized IMHO !
BTW , shouldn't loose 125 foot lbs torque through the drive train.
I dont have a big baller boat, but i do pull a 21ft tunnel, pretty light. with the edge programmer set on 2 (towing) 33inch tires i get 16 mpg, pretty good i thought.
I also pulled a 26ft weekend warrior and got 14mpg fully loaded!!!!! :crossx:
Some of the 06's have the older engine with (i think) 310 HP, that might have been what was dynoed?
id love to get a new 06........but im holding out for a 07 twin turbo F250. "IF" they are ALL that. Plus I have to make room in the garage for this

I WISH!toby i agree on the boat choice but (i'm gonna stir the pot on this one) DURAMAX?????????????????????? STROKE IT is a much better choice, BANKS BIG HOSS and you'll pull your neighbors house to the lake with your boat! TUNNEL T
is it just me or does that say 2mpg????

He'll never know, it will be sold before that happens....
