Default Best Generation Of Duramax

So just curious on what generations of Durmax are good or not

First off I just bought a 03 Duramax And have been reading they have injector probles.
How much is the reapir bill is something I could do myself or not?

Also Witch generation would you say is the best?

The injectors will run a couple grand, and the install will take about 14 to 16 hours.

they are all pretty good. just stay away from the lb7's . do your injectors so that way you dont have an extra few quarts of diesel fuel in ur oil pan haha

My 08 I think was a bit faster then my 09. I should have kept the blue one as the white one gets hit by every rock on the highway .
