Well, I'm not going to tell you it is nice, but I guess I'll have t congratulate You on this new thing 
Ok Ok, yes it does look good, I think I'm going to the dealer this weekend and drive their new trucks just so I have a little taste and go right back to my truck. Congratulations, I know it was a tough decision.

looks good. That Duramax is turning out to be a pretty good power plant lot less growing pains than the 6.0 International is putting out in the Ford Chassis.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with it.
Upgrades? I already don't know what to do with 650lbs of torque. Well, I know what to do with it...just getting used to it.
My only complaint is I CAN'T HEAR IT! I'm thinking reusable air filter and a straight thru exhaust when the warranty is up. Oh yea, and bigger tires. Those rear ones won't last long. :Sly
I'm calling it my muscle truck. Now if I can just figure out how to get a Duramax in my '66 Impala SS.

Go for one of those new dry-flow filters. Oiled air filters SUCK. Not so much on diesels, but on gassers all they do is foul mass airflow meters...
Theres lots of things you can do to the truck that WON'T void the warranty...like melting those stock rear tires...

You should be able to do intake and exhaust without voiding the warranty. Not a bad truck by the way.

No - he's got EGR and a cat. And, his engine warranty goes to 100k miles. I don't think a cat back exhaust would be worth it, and don't mess with that intake - it's plenty good as is.
The only thing it seems everyone does is the nicktane fuel filter - 1/2 micron. I have no plans to do anythign except drive it and maybe change the oil.

FS2500 Bypass oil filter, S&B Intake, and haven't decided on exhaust. No emissions test were I live so cat and muffler have to go at some point. Not so easy with that computer thingy monitoring everything. But there are ways....
And a whole list of cosmetic stuff. :Sly

Yep, I like it! Them little bowtie wearing boys are pretty much wiping the tracks with them oval wearing girls as well, just keep on talking! That is the truck I want when I move closer to work, finish my MBA and Phd, etc. etc. etc.
Truly though, I think you did a fine job, sharp rig and after having driven a couple of them, I know how well they run. My buddies is a year old and has about 75,000 on it. He has driven it to Alaska three times and I think he goes to Montana every other weekend to hunt! Must be nice (in his case) to be rich and shameless!!!

I think the intake is a waste of money. The one on there is really good. If you're going to do anythign with the exhaust, remove the EGR and put on a finger stick (egr simulator), and do a turbo back exhaust. These are designed with a fair amount of back pressure to operate that EGR. I don't like it, but I'm not doing it until 100,001 miles.
I agree, that warranty thing is kinda hokey. But, it makes me feel better wieth these injectors. Think about that nicktane fuel filter too. That helps the injectors a lot. It's a real high pressure system.
