I purchased an '05 3500 this year, and I have nothing bad to say about my truck. I have always been a Ford man, but after hearing about their problem with that 6.0 powerstroke motor, I decided to go with the Duramax, and let me tell you, it is the most fuel efficient, most powerful and responsive diesel I have ever had. I've gone though three different super dutys, and I am over the headaches with the Fords. The Ford may look meaner, but I have high hopes for my new Chevy.

Great vehicle, I have not had any problems at all so far. Regular routine maintenance. Will pull anything I give it. Duramax is the way to go.

Duramax is a great motor. Tons of power, quiet for a diesel, smooth truck for a dually. Maintenance needed to keep it on the road, but used it hard. Expect the truck to last for a long time for the next owner also. Sold at 198k.

It is great! Except mine has the 8.1 Vortec with the 6 speed Allison automatic. I averaged 11.4 mpg on it's 1100 mile maiden voyage from Seattle. At 70 mph it never down shifted over 3 Mountain passes. Just cruised along !!!

Bought it new and have been delighted with its performance for all these years (117k miles now) (but a few things would make me like it even better). Still tow a 32 ft 5th wheel RV (12,400 Lbs) and it climbs the mountains effortlessly. Love the Allison 6 speed trans it handles shifts like silk but with real authority as well. One thing I would like better on it would be a 4:10 gearing vs the 3:73 but that is mainly just for startups with heavy loads on grade otherwise the 3:73 is fine on the road. Just completed a 3,300 mile roadtrip from Las Vegas into the Missouri and back. Would really like a larger fuel tank especially when towing and need to go farther to reach lower priced fuel. Someone makes a 57 gal replacement tank which would give around 200 extra miles or about 500 or more total.

Why 5 owners. Seats tore clear coat coming off and they rated it good condition. Wholesale truck might bring 5000.00. Only 5 speed tranny.
