[QUOTE="heiferhoney, post: 37556, member: 524"] I've had my Duramax for 4 years. Good mileage and great power. I have had a few minor problems....a switch on the transmission had to be replaced...the newer trucks have the new switch. The transmission is Allison and Chevy won't touch it, you have to take it to Allison or Chevy swaps it out. Same with the engine. The fuel pump hasn't failed on mine but they recently extended my warantee on it. I haul on occasion cattle but I haul stone more often (2 miles of driveway that seems to be a bottomless pit) and the quarry is constantly overloading my dump trailer. But the truck has never hesitated and I have serious hills to deal with. Mostly 3 to 4 ton loads not counting the trailer. Some people don't like the truck for just regular driving since the tranny learns how you drive....I like it when it downshifts for me on hills before I even touch the brakes but some don't like that. I like the quietness of the engine and like this truck so much that I haven't traded it in! It's turning radius is tighter then the Ford. And that counts for me because this truck also goes to the mall and parking is a breeze even wtih the extended cab and full size bed. I've put 8 big cows (avg. 1600lbs) in the trailer (aluminum) and have no problems. But all of these trips are short. [/QUOTE]
