Need Help Picking A Truck
#15
just read this..... lets see what i can do here
6.0L pro's....... nice roomy interior, good ride quality
cons....... possible head gasket failure, possible EGR cooler failure, Possible injector failure, possible turbo failure due to sticking vains,
5.9L pro's......... descent room in the interior, good ride quality, proven longevity of motor gets descent fuel mileage
con's......... Auto tranny isn't up to par IMHO, rear seat legroom, unless a MEGA cab, is inadequate
these are just my opinions from what my friends have dealt with. please don't anyone take this to the bank.

hopefully some Duramax guys will chime in here.... i know that each model of the duramax perty much has it's qwirks..... some overheated, some had injector problems... i'm not too familiar with the Dmax.... but hang on i'm sure someone will post up soon on what years are the best years to buy.

id go with the dodge, ford has too many problems with that engine. The newer autos in the dodges arent as bad as they used to be and can handle towing and little bit of "tweaking" of the fuel system no problem, but i would low ball the crap out of em when you go to make a deal, trucks especially diesels arent sellin real well so you should be able to get a good deal on it.
Chevy's aint bad just depends on what your gonna be using it for. IMO
