Well maintained engine took a crap at 60,000 miles

At 50,000 miles and 6 years old all auto door locks stopped working. At 60,000 miles lifter rockers failed and damaged cam shaft requiring a complete engine rebuild or replacement. I maintain my vehicles meticulously and have a toyota with over 300,000 miles on it. This truck is a huge disappointment and I will never buy a GM product again. Updated review at 80k miles all the other parts of the vehicle have begun to deteriorate. Seats, door handles remote mirror operation. I only keep it because it's paid for and I have 2 kids in college. It has not seen hard use. Goes off road and in the snow a few times a year on my fishing and hunting trips. I will reiterate that I will never buy a GM product again. Changing a burned out front headlight is a 2 hour affair. By a Toyota! It's worth a few extra bucks.

This is the first 3/4 ton truck I've ever owned and it is great. I've had Fords in the past and know people with both the F250 and F350. They've had too many problems for me to even consider a Ford. The GMC is built stout, and while the gas engine lacks the torque that the diesel engine has it is the perfect engine for someone who does not tow all of the time. It has plenty of get up and I'm getting around 14 MPG right now on the freeway at 75-80 MPH. Many of thr trucks I see pulling large trailers these days are GMC or Chevy, they must be doing something right. PS, while gas prices are high right now the purchase incentives are even higher, good time to buy a gas hog!

Bought an 08 Duramax 4x4 last month and just love the this truck. Ride is very predictable for a 3/4 ton, little harsh but if you wanted a smooth ride go with the 1/2 ton. The diesel has got a lot of horsepower. I love the quick acceleration this truck offers. I pull a trailer that goes about 6000 lbs. If you're looking for a truck to tow and gets generous fuel economy this is the truck.
Had to get rid of it

The GMC 2500HD is powerful, looks good, and can haul a ton of cargo without a problem. Has a stiff ride and a gas guzzler. The interior is somewhat simple and spartan but has nice accents, very roomy. The gas version has a nice roar to it and it picks up quite fast. The problem was the engine was too powerful for the tranny. The tranny went out a couple times and we had to move on. It was tough as nails otherwise.
