so reticently ive been starting to research the purchase of a new truck, this purchase will happening in about a year to a year and a half.
while i know what kinda power/sound/potential/driving characteristics the ford trucks have since i deal with them, o, all the time, im curious about the duramax powered chebby truck, i have driven an 06 LB7 or witch ever truck has the 350hp motor that was a crew cab with a SRW and a small utility body on it. i was impressed at how quiet the truck was and how powerful it was compared to a stock 6.0, the ride quality also seemed to be better then the ford.
all that being said, if i where to be in the market for a duramax, not sure if i wanna crew cab drw or something in a srw package, but witch duramax year(s) where the best for purchasing overall. i have seen a few 03-04s siting around my price range, but price isnt really an issue, its more mileage and equipment im worried about.
but ya, witch is the 350hp motor, and is this the motor i want, or is the 300hp pretty much the same motor? im not famaliar with the duramx's but i am very strong on understanding diesel engine performance, so no need to tip toe around technically terms....
any input and/or help is mutch apreaciated
im also considering Cummings DRW 03+ trucks only, im not a fan of the older body styles vs the 03+ ones, plus they are plentful and can be had significally cheaper then the other trucks
