Can we say 1/2 ton frame + Duramax diesel = Twisted Metal!!!!!
The frame would have to be with no doubt reinforced. That would equal extra weight. Kind of why they make 3/4 + trucks. It would be cool to see without too much extra weight added. At least besides the extra weight of the diesel motor.

Well there are plenty of people that are getting away without fixing up the frame that have 700+ft-lb of torque I dont think the frame would be the problem so much as the getting traction in a 2wd since the tq peak is so low iwth a diesel. Now a diesel in a rcsb 4wd with the allison and hd t-case that would be sweeeet.

It would be sweet if they dropped the new d-max in a 1/2 ton. I would sell everything I own for one.
