Not to steer off the thread too much, but what the best diesel rig (drivetrain)?
Dodge- weak trannys but new motor sounds kick ass
GMC- sounds like motors having problems
Ford- Turbos?
I'm getting one in the fall but still undecided to which one, I was going for the duramax but now hearing about all these problems???

On the Dodges- Lots of power, new tranny MAY be better(from what I've heard), but... with the new emission crap on them now,(6.7 Cummins) their mileage has suffered to the point of the other 2 brands.

IMHO, for the Dodge, find a pre-2007.5 ... 5.9 Cummins for more than amply power and fuel mileage.

The value of this would depend on if I was selling it or buying it. Look in the "Kelly Blue Book" online it is pretty close. It's not worth $30,000. Options are nice and add lots of cost to a new truck but really don't add much to used, it's just a bit more lipstick and makeup on the same pig.

KELLY BLUE BOOK is an american book it wont be much help unless your buying in the states. Canadian black book is avaliable on line for wholesale and retail. Look on buysell or canada trader for the high, low and average. If the truck is in the same range and you like it buy it. Life is short don't spend it shopping for the truck. Duramax diesels are excellent. 2001 to 2003 models have injector warranty to 320000 k's. Get a mechanic to inspect the truck before you buy it. Cheers

opps I didnt know you were selling it I didnt read far enough ahead. Good luck.

That would be Canadian gallons 4.54 L. my bad.

not sure why it was soooo bad in this truck.

2008s are a different moter and emmissons agian, and it probably needs to brake in still.

NADA stand for National Auto Dealer Association or something like that....

Kind of cool, it will give you all the options that were available fo rthat specific year of vehicle....

If you want a Duramax or any other full sized truck, get one out of Texas. An acquaintance of mine just picked up a new Tundra and had it delivered to Spokane....cool savings of 17K. The diesel trucks are extremely cheap down there, a crew cab Duramax a couple of years old with low km would probably be under 30K by the time you got it up here.
