Re: Buying a Truck...any advice?
You can already get a 1500 with a duramax just no one knows about it...you might be able to get it in the avalache too.
My friend is a regional gm service rep and knows the build config options. It was in there for the previous models up to 06 at least.
Hopefully I'll be getting a crew cab f250 powerstroke this summer...the s10 is tired plus I can't lift a 2wd and run over squids.

Re: Buying a Truck...any advice?
Fords are way better than those junk chevy diesels. i do not know 1 person with a chevy that has not had major problems. i like the dodge motor just think they look like poop and the interiors are crap also

no ****, i didn't know that. so, do the fords and dodges have the cummins and chevy has somethin' else? i'm just drawin from my prior experience with ford, everything seemed as backward to someone who grew up workin on chevy's, kinda soured me to the brand. anyway, i work for a company that makes most of the 4wd transfer cases in north america. i work in the chevy division, so chances are if you buy a chevy, i helped put your transfer case together. hope it wroks, or i mean works.
