Would love to, but I'm kinda backed into a corner on the resale on this thing also. So I'm just going to ride out the warranty on this terd until I can get a duramax. I'm not sure if I would go New or buy a low mileage use done. Pre emissions would be nice, but the new ones look way better. But this one would be a 3/4 ton. No need for a big boy with the Freightliner now.

Pre-emissions GM duramax's like to puke fuel into the crankcase. I worked across from the diesel guys at the dealer, and we had one guy full time that all he did was replace injectors. The allison transmission is having computer issues on those ones too.

Im in the market for a 2500, and I want a 496 Big Block truck! I might settle for this bad boy though:

as far as Duramaxes go, I've always heard that an '06 was the year to go with. (no emissions, and all the injector bugs were worked out) This coming from the techs at the GM dealerships that I have worked at. But I dont own a diesel anything, so thats all I can offer to this thread.
