Re: 2003 Gmc 2500hd Enough Truck
you gotta watch the GM tow ratings........my 6.5 diesel Sub is only rated to tow 7500 with the diesel but with a 454 it is rated to pull 10,000.......so the truck itself can handle it.........its an engine power thing........wonder what the tow rating of that truck is with the dmax instead of the 6 litre..........doug

NO!
your looking at 13-14,000 lbs on a trailer with fuel.
NOT GOOD with a 6.0.

Re: 2003 Gmc 2500hd Enough Truck
I had a friend out in California that bought three 2500 HD's with the 6.0L's for him concrete company, They pull pumps with them eveywhere they go. The pumps weigh anywhere from 4 to 10k doending on what size unit it is. He caled me from a job one Sunday and asked if I could do him a favor and drag one fo his pumps to the job for him, I used one of his trucks, what a slug!!! On the way home he pulled me up the Camarillo grade in California in a dump truck with a pup trailer grossed out at 80k, that's pretty sad. After about 2 months he tok a huge hit and traded all three trucks in on 2500HD's with Duramax's, what a difference. I am a Devout Ford guy and drive a 6.0 PSD myself but I gott admit I did take a seriuos look at the Duramax before I bought my latest truck and had a hard time not buying one.

remember the present truck/sport ute lines were in place before the Max, and there was some question how much more than the former dimal >2% of the diesel market GM would win back.
so now the Dmax/Alli is a crazy success (and for good reason), now the lines will be re-tooled around more availability.
simple really.
