which diesel truck
 
I'm looking into getting a new crew cab 3/4 ton truck. Anybody have any thoughts on the Duramax, good or bad?

I have a 2009 Crew Cab Short bed, 4x4 Duramax

Runs great.

I have it for sale

The Duramax is the best diesel out there in my opinion.

What? No fancy wheels? Seriously, thats the truck I'm looking for (although I dont need 4x4),I'm just begining the research and need to sell my 06 F150. I'll definatly keep yours in mind if its still available.

Look for a 2006 mode, pre smog equip. Also, the best duramax, all the bugs worked out.

Love the Duramax. I have an 08 CCSB. Great engine and trans.

Get the Duramax. I have a 09 and it is great. A Friend had a 08 Ford that had broken down many many times. The last time was pulling his travel trailer and it quit in a intersection. He had to live in the trailer on the side of the road for 4 days till the local small town shop could get to it. Then they had to order parts. His wife just traded it in on a new Duramax.

Duramax is awesome just stay away from the early years with LB7. At 160k to 200k the head gaskets have to be replaced. This is a huge job and not to be taken lightly.

Don't ask how I know.....but the best engine ever! I towed a 5000lb trailer from Auburn to Ft Bragg this summer and was passing cars on the hill climbs!
