This couldn't be any more true. I've driven all 3 big brands diesels + Toyota Tacoma gasser + Toyota Hilux diesel's(2 of them) as daily drivers, and now I drive a Ford F-150. I would buy any one of them again, and not partial to any brand. My F-150 is just as reliable as my 12 Valve Cummins was as reliable as my 6.5 Chevy as was my 7.3 Ford.

Get the red one.
I strongly agree with the last two posts.

One is local (the 1-tonne) and the other (3/4) is a short ferry ride away. The GMC 3500 is an '06 and has the LBZ engine but significantly more kilometers on it. The F250 is am '07, is through a dealer (good? bad? used car sales people just have such bad reputations, though not sure if that remains a common issue) and looks like more of a work truck interior. Thoughts from anyone?

Yeah, I'm stoked. Will get them up tomorrow after I take possession (went to pick it up with a cashier's cheque this afternoon, they spelled the seller's name wrong - Brain instead of Brian, so picking up tomorrow... )

Not that I don't trust you, but, what are the benefits/advantages?

Mine rides better and looks way better. You can run bigger tires if you want.

Blows over speed bumps without making bangs and thuds that I had with cranked stock tbars and keys. It also modifies angles so they return closer to stock despite the increased lift on the front end. The stock rake on the truck is pretty dumb.
Also, feel free to do a google search. Everything I read as benefits came true.

Goddamn - got in the truck and fired her up without letting her warm up (too used to driving gas). Anyway, now the check engine light is on and my OBDII scanner won't register the code. Not sure if it's because it is a non-emission issue or if it's a GMC specific code. Anyone got a program they use on their computer that will recognize GMC codes and/or transmission and ABS codes?
ETA - used my buddies scanner and, as suspected, it's a glow plug issue (years of driving gas, force of habit, jumped in a started it without letter her warm up - must have damaged one).Last edited by shafty85; 05-18-2016 at 11:33 PM.

an 06 still has glow plugs? shows what I know of duramax motors. That kind of sucks that not waiting to turn it over causes that much damage.

The glow plug was already on its way out. You didn't do any damage by starting it with the plugs on.
