Re: Diesel Questions

No 6.5? I have heard some bad things... and would love a newer truck... haha

Is the Duramax over all a good engine?

no dodge tho... Not a fan of the body style. I do want to stay GM. I've worked on all the new stuff and know my way around it enough to fix it.
(I do like the 20+mpg with 600 hp lol )

I'm def buyin used... so a 7000 dollar option wont happen :P
I figure if I out some extra in the beginning and mpg will pay it back... thats ok.

"IMHO if you want a pickup for light hauling and gas mileage, at a reasonable price, go and buy an 2000-2002 Chevrolet 1/2 ton, 2WD with the 4.8 gas engine. I have a coworker with one and he get 25 - 27 mpg with it. For a bit more power, but still good fuel economy go with the 5.3 gas engine. Stay away from the 6.0 though as they are gas pigs. "

I like the new body style, but still want 4x4.... I do like those numbers tho :P
5.3 4x4 might work.... hmmm class time reply back soon!
