Welcome to the group. Glad to see you son walked away. Coulda been much worse . . .

On to your question. Each truck has its own faults. The Duramax has proven to be a very durable motor when cared for. The LLY overheating issue is limited to a few motors, but can be a serious issue. I have a customer with one of these rare trucks. It sux. If he is looking new, the LBZ is an awesome truck. Great power, very decent mileage, 6 speed allison, and all the comforts GM is known for.

Please, feel free to post up some specific questions. There is alot of knowledge here and most questions don't go unanswered for every long.

What they said!!! The duramax is a awesome truck with alot of potential!

Welcome aboard!!
