Im more than happy with the truck. the trans has left some things to be desired, but its on its third rebuild so Im hoping the issues have been taken care of.

The rest of the truck has been absolutely FLAWLESS!!! And when I put the pedal down, its all smiles here

Mine have been good for the most part. Had a power steering pump fail at about 10K on my dually and have replaced the grab handles on both trucks drivers side. Nothing major to gripe about though.

6 years and 75k miles. Always started right up, never left me stranded by the side of the road, zero down time except for normal maintenance and wear items, has always pulled whatever I needed to pull. That's why I'm SOHappy.

78,000 miles and no problems. My buddy and his Duramax has had a water pump fail and injector harness issues with similar mileage on his 2004.

Both trucks have been trouble free. 54K on the 2005 and 47K on the 2007. They are without a doubt the best trucks I have ever owned. Ed B
