The truck is pretty much just a service vehicle. It only sees pavement maybe 25% of the time.

I know the duramax is a good engine. It has decent power and it is reliable. But the motor has 250,000 miles now and I have no clue how many hundreds of idle hours. It will need rebuilt or replace at some point. And I know I will get a lot of grief for this but I like the DT466 and the 3126 better. I know both are medium duty engines, but both of them will eat that duramax alive if you are pulling a steep hill with a heavy load. And it's just because they make there torque lower in the rpm band and they stay flat longer.

I rebuilt the front end a few years back. It did help but I used all energy suspension parts and Bilstein shocks. I've just never been happy with the IFS in the truck.
