looking into a new dmax
so heres the question of the day anything I should look out for in the 08 and 09 dmaxs? I know my 03 had a few issues but they were some what easy to deal with.
does anyone know if it is possible to get the 08 or 09 dmax with a manual trans? I know the older ones you could.
well thank you all again

Chris, I dont think the LMM's are available with the manual trans.. as far as I know they have all the same issues as the LBZ.. which is none.. 
unless someone has plugged up the DPF a few times.. due to an overfueling programmer..

You can buy a manny tranny in Mexico 
I don't know why GM discontinued the manual version, but it's not like they made very many in the first place. Of all the used trucks for sale I've seen, probably about 1 in 300 has the manual. I wish they made more 6 speeds, I really wanted one...but the Allison is a pretty stellar transmission.

yea I was really hoping to get away from autos I hate them so much just before my accident my Allison started acting up. well I guess I am going to have to settle for an auto but I wish I could buy now but I cant even drive and the insurance stuff is still being dealt with on the old truck.

How can the DPF make them bad trucks? I have had no issues with mine, I guess it is all what the definition of a good truck is huh?

All the non DPF guys think they make it a worse truck. I do have a question what is the fuel mileage like with the DPF trucks because once again I dont know to many people with them and everyone is trying to use that to scare me away from them.
