White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. With the excessive oil usage, it sounds like this engine has been destroyed by this coolant. It has mixed with the oil, and has ruined the engine. Time for an overhaul.
changing power steering hoses on 2007 sierra duramax
They didn't have a 6.6 duramax in 1996.
310
365
Both are not fine. The Duramax is junk with the bad Allison transmission. I owned a 2000 F-350 with the 7.3L Powerstroke for 8 years. It was the best engine. Powerstroke . They pwer stroke will pull pretty much anything you need to pull. the power stroke is way better , and the power delivery felt the . The Duramax was junk to me and every body else
It depends on what you're asking they are better about. the Duramax is cheaper to upgrade and has better fuel mileage and stock the Duramax triumphs over the Cummins in torque and horse power. but there is a lot of stuff you can do to them both but the Duramax is all around less expensive. and as to which one lasts longer that can vary, the Duramax has proven to be a very reliable engine but the Cummins also has one heck of a reputation. Cummins= 350hp, 650 ftp of torque Duramax=365hp, 660 ftp of torque
The strongest Duramax ever is the 2011 Duramax that will be coming out in Summer of 2010. It produces 397 horsepower and 765 pound feet of torque. But the truck that this 6.6L sits in still can't tow or haul as much as Ford's new 6.7L Powerstroke which produces less power, at 390 horsepower and 735 pound feet of torque.
the cummins. Hands down. if you said any dodge older than a 2005, I'd go with the duramax, but the trannies in the 05 and up dodges are much better, and you cant beat a cummins for power and reliability.
Probably the best and easiest way to do this is to use a programmer. I recommend the Quadzilla Stealth II for the best bang for your buck.
Your injectors are failing Also, could be the turbo seeping oil past the bearings.
Chevy or GMC They have the Duramax motor and Allison transmission which have almost 400 horse power.
