Hey, Ryan;
I own a 2007 GMC Sierra 2WD with an LBZ Duramax, and it's been a great truck for me. Lot's of power for towing, quick acceleration, generally smooth-shifting Allison 6-speed tranny, no mechanical problems of any kind so far (knock on wood). It's a crew cab and the back seat room is actually comparable to that of my wife's 2008 Nissan Pathfinder (for some reason she doesn't like American cars, other than trucks). I'm 6'3" and I'm as comfortable sitting in the back seat of my truck as I am in the back seat of any other car.
To be fair, it's the only diesel I've ever owned so I can't compare it to Ford or Dodge. But I like it and would have no problem buying another one.
Hope this helps.

I purchased my LBZ new and have not looked back. It was rated at 360HP and 650f/lb of torque. These numbers have been proven to be very accurate. Increasing the air flow though the system with larger exhaust and intake mods makes a noticeable inprovment over the factory numbers. As stated above, make sure the 8th charactor in the VIN is a "D".

yea, that's what I am seeing, i have to say, I love the old 7.3's because they are loud noisy, and will run on anything. but they are 7 years old already. I am seeing some 06 lbz motor trucks with every option for 32K which isnt too bad, its 10K more then the old ford but has a warrenty and looks much nicer inside.
And are the MPG numbers right, people are getting 20mpg out of a stock LBZ?

also are there any switch years, like late 05 and early 07 that have the lbz motor? how can you tell the difference?
