08 duramax vs 06 duramax
#31
I personally think the new GM trucks are UGLY. I have a friend at a local dealer and he said that they were buying up all the leftover 2007's in the area from dealers (that are now the "old" bodystyle) because the newer ones are not selling well. People are still looking for the older body style.

I bought a new 07 Classic GMC because of the styling and the emission laws coming up. I think I'm going to keep this one a while. It is the nicest truck I've ever owned.

I have had 4 duramaxes now, a 02,04,06 and now this 08. So far this is my favorite one,it rides the best,has the most comfortable interior yet and warms up the fastest in the cold weather. As far as the gas mileage,I'm seeing the same as what my 06 lbz got,the emissions/dpf scared me at first but If I see worse mileage towing I'm bolting on a 4" turbo back exhaust system and buying a programmer to stop the regeneration process.I bought bushwacker fender flares because I have noticed the 17"/265's seem to throw road grime down the sides of the truck and I like the looks of the factory fender flares on the earlier ones. My 06 was a lt3 with 10 way power leather,you couldn't get comfortable on a long trip or recline the seat back enough to sleep while someone else drove,this on has 12way leather seats,they lay back real far and as gm claims they are definately ultra plush. I'll post pics after I install the fender flares this weekend,Smitty

they're not making this easy!!
$3250 rebate (in lieu of 0%, but I have 800 credit so great rate is not a problem) ($5000 on an '07 LMM)
$2000 in card earnings
$1000 loyalty certificate (received today)
$10,000 equity (given the number I was offered last month)
invoice - $6250
and I have the 10K from the outright sale of my current rig.
gotta do some math tonight!

could be as simple as a better quality shock? (Not hard to accomplish as they have always been junk in the past)
