No:1 truck to buy
I have a 2006 Silverado Pickup,2500 HD 4x4.I've owned chevy's most of my life,because of the performance,and reliability.This truck from the first day going out hunting,going through scrub-oak,blazing new trails,climbing the sides of mountain's on the nastiest roads you ever want to imagine,going through water 3 feet deep,and it keeps on going.When I needed the power it was there,wether pulling a trailer up 6% grades in 6"s of mud,and it never quit.I've done all these things will my truck,and its still in great shape,and it has never been in the shop for any malfunctions.They just need to make the front bumper narrower,and raise the truck about 2"s higher.Thats the only change there shouldbe
Best combo of Truck/Engine & Tranny
2500 Ext. Cab Duramax 4X4 - One of the best vehicles I've ever had. Tows and climbs hills (I live in the mountains of NC) like a dream. It's a shame they didn't keep making this LBZ engine! I will drive it as long as I can ....

huge fuel filter problem
this is a great truck as long as you only use premium fuel and drive it in warm climates. the fuel filter will clog if you use bio fuel, or a lower grade fuel. when the filter clogs the engine will go into a 2000 rpm lockdown and will not shift. this will happen even after truck is warm,the first time you try to merge onto the expressway in rush hour traffic, at 25 degree weather and snow covered road, YOU WILL BE IN FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE or FOR YOUR LIFE. I have 900000 miles on this truck and have had to replace the fuel filter ($35) 11 times??? I have purchased fuel from 15 different stations. CHEVROLET SOLUTION " use premium fuel, Use an addative($11)and let the truck idle 20 minutes
Just don't Know
Well I guess my roots run deep with GM. Got the truck used off a dealer lot with 90000 miles on it. While test driving the truck it performed and looked in excellent condition. The motor and tranny on this truck, as previous GM trucks I've owned is stout and reliable. Now, As for every thing else well lets just leave it at that for now. Owned a 98 Gmc before this one and it was one of the best vehicles Ive owned, but in the recent years I've heard and witness a lot of bad rap from GM and was skeptical of buying another. I guess it was the love for that bowtie.
Amazing truck.
I’ve owned a 2006 2500 for over 4 years now. I bought it used with only 18k miles on it and it has been through some tough crap. Drove out in the field, went mudding here and there and pulled out a friend during a snow storm. I’ve hauled bales with the gooseneck, derby cars, harvester heads, seed pallets, and even a John Deere 4020. It’s got 320k miles on it and the thing is still going. The only major thing was in back in 2017 when I was hauling two derby cars and the transmission blew out. I’ve been running Pennzoil in it since I’ve had it and running Dexcool in it. The only thing I hate about it is that my rockers are long from now! Lol!
