harper look at the msrp and take a 12-15% off that price is what are letting them go for. If not the find another dealer. the rebates from chevy gmc suck right now for them.

anybody with LLY's have that wierd intermittent engine tick at idle, that GM says in a new TSB, is NOW normal noise??

I have an 02 that had the tick for about 5k and has since gone away. It sometimes reappears after oil changes, but goes away after a few hundred miles. I love the truck and highly recommend a duramax.

The GM (LBZ) is a japaneze engine made by Isuzu and is brand new this year. The 6.0 had problems when it fisrt came out now everything is ironed out. I have a hard time believing you get mileage with the GM too. there aren't any upgrades yet but the power pup for the GM. Get the ford put exhaust and an intake and a custom programmer in it. I get 20 mpg in town and 24-27 on the hwy depending how heavy my foot is. Oh yeah I blow enough smoke to make rice rockets stop and swerve when they are next or behind me.
