New Duramax owner here, LBZ Crewcab, long bed. I understand all long bed trucks have a 34 gal tank. I also discovered that damn gauge is the most inaccurate gauge on the face of this earth. When the low fuel light comes on, the gauge is sitting right on "E" but here is suppose to be another 8-9 gal left in the tank. I was brave or really stupid to keep it going for another 20 miles before I chicken out and filled it up.
I ran out of fuel in my old Cummins truck once and the tow truck driver had no idea how to get it started. That was a PITA as there aren't too many stations that carried diesel from way back in 1996.
