WTB: Chevy or GMC Duramax

[KA-T_240]

[QUOTE=91nbtsi]= My dad's duramax gets 14-17mpg pulling a car at about 80mph and better empty obviously.

put an edge chip on it and get better

my dads shop has a powerstoke, in between souix falls and here with trailer with about a 4000 pound sander for a snow plow on the back and got just over 20mpg at 80

Yeah I think I am set on a diesel now. And the fact that it has a turbo, and lots of cool parts available to make it pull even more makes me kinda happy. I have never really liked Ford trucks, they just seem to cheap and plain, and if I were to get a Cummins, it would have to be the newer 02 or 03+ style, but then again they're so plain also, I think the GM is a lot nicer as far as features go.

Yeah, the Ford and Dodge interior just doesn't make you feel at home. GM's are nice and cozy, everything seems to be focused around you.

Anyone find me one close by yet? I've found one in Lisbon, and like 3 around the Minneapolis area, but don't really have time to get there to look at them since I work all day.

Edit I should specify I do NOT want a 2001.

Just go order a new 06 so you can get a 6 speed tap shift trans and tons of power...

Hah one of my boss' just got one of those...more power in the 06's too...but they are like 50K

LOL yeah sorry but I'd need a few more jobs to afford that one Nate. I found an 02 Duramax in Lisbon for pretty cheap.

Better run biodiesel. I'd rather smell french fries than stank ass diesel fumes.
Good luck with the one in Lisbon.

Well I don't know if I'm buying yet. I have to look first.
