(Sorry, 
)
What size tyre size you plan on running?
Fords IDS can change it up to a certain size... it may only be 35's though, and you are running 37's -> are you planning on running any bigger?
I haven't checked with the 08's but I assume the speedo is still taken from the VSS from the ABS, which means its just a digital pulse signal, and you can buy a box to add-on to ramp up the pulse speed/reduce it as required.

and i must say, the 6.4 is quite an impressive setup.. when i drove to NC to have matt build my motor he had just picked up his 08 the day before i got there... it still had the dealer plate on the back and was BONE STOCK..
and it was hanging w/my truck when it was stock w/a SCT turned up pretty high... i was impressed with how fast it was in stock trim !!

hmmmmmmm, Everything I know about the history of the chevy deisels (which insn't very much) isn't very exciting..... How long did they run the 6.5 L? and I don't think it was ever a super star for power. I believe it was somewhat reliable at the end but even my chevy freinds hate them...
The duramax is doing OK and is very comparable to the Ford and dodge but in Canada the only people that drive them are Geriatric's so they don't modify them at all!
So that's what I know mixed in with my two cents!

I certainly wasn't referring to the 6.5L. The Duramax had some head problems when they first came out but seem to be a very reliable engine. I was referring to the new motors and Chevy seems to be doing very well on the dyno tests that have been posted as well as the track and street races people on the boards have talked about...
