have you driven in it yet? Does it still feel solid? If everything checks out and you like it I would do it. Crew cab is nice to have but so is the duramax. What's more valuable to you?

I have seen 4.8/5.3/6.0s go for well over 300k... But If all that work was just tone to the Dmax I'd still consider the trade.
