Just bought a used 2008 GMC Crewcab 2500 Duramax. Used it for the first time yesterday. All I can say about the truck is WOW! Unbelievable in every aspect. Pulled my 6000lb boat like it wasn't there. Always have owned GM's and after selling my 04 Crew 1/2 ton Silverado with the 5.3 decided to get this truck. Very impressed with the Duramax and the truck over all.
This is a great forum with lots of knowlegde on here to take in. Looking at dressing the outside up a bit. Any suggestions?
Congrats on the New RIG!!! As for dressing it up, take the badges off the sides, put a leveling kit under the front, and get some new rims and tires, that alone will surprise you how it sets the truck off!!!
Yeah, I just got my new 2009 Crew Cab Duramax and I am amazed. So much power and it runs so quiet. I have a 32' 5th wheel trailer on order and can't wait to see how she pulls.
To be as fair as possible, I tried out all three big trucks, even though I am a Chevy guy. All I can say is that driving the Ford made up my mind for me, Chevy all the way!
Congrats on the truck! Glad to hear you are using the truck and enjoying it! As stated above tint the windows, throw on a leveling kit and get some 285 or bigger tires. Those three things alone will make you feel like you got a new truck all over again.
All the Chevy/GMC needs to be the best looking truck is bigger wheels and tires. It has the best of everything else (engine/trans). I have never been happier with mine and I came from the new Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 and I actually loved that truck. Wanted a Diesel again and drove the Dodge/Ford. Almost bought a Dodge but it was too much work to get the emission stuff right and the Ford was a dog (power wise). Didn't like the look of the Chevy until I put bigger wheels and tires on. I am so happy with my truck now. I like it better than the Toyota (nice interior). The power is really out of this world.
