I bought the LMM last year in May and never regretted it. Of course it is the LBZ+, which is different then a brand new design.

Well this one is going to be built solely by GM.So they will probably use Bosch injectors from the start.Which should make for a powerful and reliable engine.

Actually Ben the Duramax does not come with a manual, i know that sounds dumb and it really is, the only transmission option is the Allison or a smaller trans for the baby dmax.... GM stopped offering a manual transmission for the pickups in 2003.5, strange aint it?
