Kind of a late reply here but can't say that I agree with " If you mod the crap out of it do not expect it to last. Ford, Chevy and Dodge all have good engineering and are built for a specific application" take the 6.0 psd's the engineers desided to use chitty torque to yeild bolts and not enough of them in the heads the egr system in them is also troublesome from what ive seen more so then in a d-max or cummins, if you put arp head studs in and delete that egr the motor will last alot longer.

Looks like this old thread is being reincarnated and given new life.

I researched my first diesel purchase for months before I finally decided on my 07 LMM Duramax. I've had it for a little over a year now and I still love it.
