Look at your HP goals... See where you want to be and what its going to cost... Dmax are nice trucks, depending on years... I heard about cooling system nightmares and injector horrors though?!?!?!

01 to 04 LB7s had injector problems
the 04.5 to 05 LLYs had the overheating issue
06 to 07 LBZs have weaker pistons that could crack if HP is turned up to high
after that they are pretty solid

i dont know why i see this stated so much, lots of miss information
the engine was designed by GM in collaboration with Isuzu. it is built in the states by GM not japan. there is probably just as many parts in the cummins and power stroke engines that come from foreign countries as in the duramax
that being said i would stick with the truck you have now. the duramax is a great engine and easy to make power with but it also has its down sides too. if you add it all up each engine has just as many pros and cons as the other. it all boils down to personal preference and what you are familiar with. price can be a factor too.
my 3 cents
