I want a 6.7 but it is purely a "want" and not a "need" at all. Like you said....unless you flip the truck every few years to stay in warranty you never get away from that $700-800-900 dollar truck note:-hair |

Sure that is always a possibility but I already have my hands full with 2 other hot rods and a motorcycle to maintain when they break. At the moment I do not have the time or the "want to" to learn how to work on an oil burner.:-X06 |
same as working on a gas burner, except you do not have to worry about distributors and spark plugs.

Not to mention the 6.7 is like 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag! I am sure I could work on it if I had to...... My point is that these new diesels are far more complex than a gas engine. |
i will take a diesel over a gas any day.
i look under the hood of the new gassers and get lost. |

It pretty much comes down to what you are comfortable with....I can fix a gas engine with my eyes closed.....the older diesels are like that too....very simple and very easy to work on! These new diesels have so much extra crap to mess with and make pass emissions its just complicated as hell. Not to mention you have to have the latest in diag equipment just to determine where to look....but that's gas or diesel. I will most likely get into a 6.7 but it may be next year....all depends on what goes on with work. |

I will most likely get into a 6.7 but it may be next year....all depends on what goes on with work. they are amazing engines. we currently have 3. a 2012 F-550, a 2013 F-550, and a 2014 F-350. the 550's move 32,000 lbs like they are not even loaded. the 350 has had all the pollution stuff deleted, and does not smoke one bit. plus it gained close to 5 mpg. it also passed the NJ emissions test, and we have some of the strictest testing there is. |
When you buy a Chevy you can be sure of getting a recall or two. So it is nice they are so nice. It will give a person comfort while waiting for it to be fixed.
I will never buy another GM. I would rather be caught driving a Yugo than a GM product. |
My Boss just bought a new service truck for the shop . 2500 GMC 4 wheel drive 4 door with a Great service bed ! It is a gasser . Now ... We will see how it works out ....

I haven't seen any direct comparisons with the 15 models but I would argue that the duramax has held its own in every other test I've seen. I would like to see a 15 test to see how the upgraded superduty does.
