[QUOTE="VtMapleGal, post: 560291, member: 5953"] I have owned 2 Chevy's with the Duramax. My first was an 07 extended cab which i bought after getting rid of my gas guzzeling 8.1 (which i loved, but only got 12-15mpg with). With my 07 truck i was getting 23-27mpg with, but hit black ice in jan and rolled twice down a 25ft embankment. I was trapped in the truck, with 1 person in the passenger seat and 1 person in the back seat. After we were cut out, we basically all walked away. The onstar was amazing, as we had no cell service, and no one could see us over the bank on a back road. The safety of the truck sold me another on (that one only had about 25,000 mi on it). We now have a 08 crew cab. The milegage isnt as good (17-21) but it only has 10,000 mi on it. The only "problems" we had with the 8.1 (2005), and the 2 newer ones was there was a bearing in the 05 & 07 steering shaft that kept making the steering shaft have a clunk in it. We have had no problems with the 08 though. [/QUOTE]
