When I was looking for a truck I thiught about the Duramax. I'm a tech at a GMC dealer and right at that time we had 3 of them in the shop with injector problems. i didnt want any of that. Back in 03 the injectors were a big job to put in. They now are much easier so that is a good thing. Anyway I bought the 8.1 and have no complaints.
Also on the new diesels did any of you know you now have a fluid tank and injector to add this fluid directly to the exhaust. This fluid will freeze so there is also a heater and I think will run out after about 3 tanks of fuel. Also if ran out I beleive it will also go into reduced power mode. There was about a 6 page document on the new exhaust system. I have forgotten most of it now but pretty interesting.

Only wine I've ever heard is from gaser, powerstroke, and cummins guys about how awesome my truck pulls lmfao
Id put our 03 first gen. Lb7 Duramax up against any 8.1 tow for tow. That truck with just a power pup and k&n fipk got 22-23 mpg not towing and 15-16 towing our snocross trailer at 80.
