Any CHEVY or GM DURAMAX Diesel fans here??? Info please :)

Just wondering if any pelicans are big fans of the DURAMAX diesel?

I rented a 2006 GM 2500HD 4x4 with the new allison 6speed trans to bring my 2.4"E" motor to the airport in a crate to FORWARD AIR shipping service for fellow Pelican.... the truck is simply unbelievable !!!!!!!! I cant get this truck off my mind....

350HP and 650f/lbs of torque turned this 5900lbs slug of a truck almost into a sports car. I swear this thing pulls more G's to 60mph than any BMW I have ever owned..... 2nd and 3rd gears ram you into the seat, this thing has enough speed and power to put a BIG smile on my face and the damn thing almost feels agile.... just crazy.

I have driving gas 6.0L Fords, chevs ect... and they were all dogs. If the gas motor is not screaming you aint moving. The duramax was turning 1600-1800rpm at 60-75mph and had loads of power.

I am VERY interested in buying one and would love a 2006 with the brand new 6 speed allison trans but its waaaaaay out of budget.....

A few questions-
1-what are the 2001 and 2002 duramax diesel's with the 5 speed allison trans like?

2- How do they compare to the new 2006?

Here is a pic of the



Thanks for reading

Oh and I was just about 100% sure I was going to buy a 2000-2003 BMW/V8/X5 . I have never driving a BMW X5 but after the pickup man... I dont know anymore.
