Default Chevy/GMC 2500 Diesel

Made u my mind, going with a GM Duramax p/u. Probably a 2009, 4 door, 4 x 4. Anyone have a similar truck? Anyone having any issues with em? Before I drop $40k on a truck, looking for all the rants and raves of it. Thanks

Robbie,
I know it's your money and all but I hate to see you spend twice what you have to. You can get a Ram for about half that with all the sales going on right now. Many of the dealers are offering them at 1/2 off.
Mike

I am still very pleased with my Dmax 06 4X2 crew cab, just don't need the 4X4 for my area.

Bakerman , I own a 2006 Duramax 4-door 4wd. , but I was able to make a trip to Bristol,TN. earlier this year with a friend (NASCAR race) in his 09 model long wheel base and I was impressed with the gas mileage for a diesel 18-19 & that's cruising at about 80 mph

I have a 2007.5 GMC K2500 SLT Crew Cab. Excellent all around truck. Went w/GM since their reliability seemed to be the best w/the diesel when I bought a year ago. It does everything well. It is overkill to tow my 19' Maycraft. Power to spare. 13k miles, 2 minor recalls w/no other problems. Mileage 16-18 for mixed driving. Likely just getting broken in. I have to admit, some days I miss my '99 F-350 PSD. The DMax is too quiet!

I love my truck. I wouldn't mind changing my exhaust out to get rid of the regens because other than that I get great mileage.
