2017 Duramax Dyno Numbers
Looks like the GM guys are sandbagging the advertised HP and Torque numbers... The new Duramax is going to be a real stump puller. Link

Something seems wrong with those numbers but I do think the 2017 Duramax will blow the doors off the 2017 Powerstroke. I find it exciting to see the manufacturers take a proven engine and beef it up to make it even tougher and more powerful. I think it is likely that the 2017 Powerstroke is designed to handle much more torque than what it is currently tuned to deliver. Is the Cummins scheduled for a redesign for 2019?
FCA is broke, so no redesign on the horizon.

Where in the article did it say they were broke? And why do they need an update anyways? The Ram is only a what, 4 or 5 year old platform that Ford just finally caught up with. And how long was it that Ford went without a major redesign? Unless you want to discuss engines, and I see no need in going there as that debacle is well known.
