- I review the Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500 3.0L LM2 Duramax Diesel engine's drivability. Does this engine drive well on the road? I give you guys my opinion as a heavy duty diesel mechanic if I think this 3.0 Duramax engine drives well on the road
First Duramax Review - • Chevy Silverado 1500 3...
As promised I go to the GMC/ Chevrolet dealership and take a spin in the 3.0 Duramax Diesel. I give you guys my honest first impression when driving this diesel truck. as I mentioned a couple times in the video I'm really just reviewing how the truck feels to drive.
Two things I liked about this Chevy 1500 Duramax
- I liked the throttle response, this diesel feels like it has lots of torque right away which is exactly what you want. power seems great at those low rpms and I think that's going to translate into great drivability.
- the second thing I really liked about the 3.0 Duramax was the position of the turbo. It's smack dab right in the middle of the engine and very easy to work on. other engines like the 6.7 Duramax with a v8 have the turbo buried in the engine bay making it hard to service.
Two things I did not like about the GMC 1500 Duramax
- I did not like the fact that the 10 speed Allison transmission kept downshifting whenever you put your foot down. I wish the engine would of spooled up more in the higher gear and really got into boost but the transmission does shift well.
- I don't like the noise. this diesel is too quiet for me I wish it sounded louder but I feel like most people will like it quiet!
Overall guys this truck drove very well. I think anyone who buys these engines will enjoy them and have a good long engine life!

Nice meeting you at the dealership man.
Great review. I agree , I hate the shifter. Everything else I’m seeming to like. Mpg is great , and torque is phenomenal. It seems like the new lz0 is a little louder than the lm2.
Awesome meeting you too! I will say that truck you bought is beautiful. I hope she treats you well!
What can this 3L tow? I hear it tows less than the 6.2L
@@ThreeDayRV if the truck has max tow i think its around 13k. with out the max package its only around 8800. not that far off the other engine options without the max tow. they tend to be 9-9500.
In January this year I got the 2021 Sierra 1500 Elevation extended cab 4WD X31 with duramax. I love this truck. Drives so well, l love the low end torque hence acceleration, in the cabin it so quiet and smooth. And mileage is great, I'm gettig 24mpg combined, and when I drove with my family from San Diego to the Grand Canyon I got 31mpg highway, mostly at 70 mph.
Just picked up a 2021 Silverado with the 3.0. Already put over 3000kms on it. Getting similar mileage to my wife’s SUV! So far loving the diesel power plant
they are efficient that's forsure!
I have a 2022 Silverado LT trail boss with 3.0 duramax and love it. Honestly I was on the fence about the new console shifter but now it's grown on me I actually love it. Yes this 3.0 lm2 is a great power plant. The power, works great with the 10 speed and so far a solid rock performance.
You can tell me it’s ‘rock solid’
When it’s drove around for a decade.
Will your truck be on the road in 2032?
My 81 rabbit is rock solid.
It hasn’t let a driver down in over 40 years.
That. Is ‘rock solid’
Your ‘rock solid’
Means I like my hunk of computerized plastic it makes me feel how they want me to feel.
@@fastinradfordable Ha! That's funny... We are here talking about a truck not a rabbit.
I would not dare take it off road or attempt to tow anything with it as it's not even close to being in the same class.
The 3.0 has a lot of potential and that is what the content is all about in this video. Hope you get many more years out of your rabbit.
@@fastinradfordable Lol. A rabbit. Cute.
Honestly, when you opened the hood and I could hear the sounds this diesel makes, I wish they let it be louder because it sounds really nice.
The quiet engine really grows on you on a long trip. My 6.7 Powerstroke is like that. I wish I could hear more turbo whistle but I’m not complaining.
Great review, from some of the comments it might be better to go with the 3:73 gears in my opinion. I'm waiting on the 2023 refresh with upped HP/TQ, should be interesting when I decide to bite the bullet. Hope you do a video on refreshed engine. Cheers
Would love to see a video series on the 2.8L Duramax. I've owned one for several years now.
i have the 22' AT4 with the 3.0 Diesel, love this truck! I can get 35mpg's when I baby the throttle, but I have never averaged below 24 mpg's yet regardless of my driving habits. Great power on the low end, much less on the high end. I had a 2016 F150 3.5 ecoboost previously and that truck was probably the fastest stock truck I have drove but struggled to even average 17mpg's. I see myself holding onto this GMC for a while and I'm confident the motor is going to hold up perfectly.
Same here, picked up my AT4 in Aug, love it .....
Which of those 2 trucks was more fun to drive?
@@tony17601 I would say the ford was a little more fun to drive
I must have purchased a dud, love the mpg, but engine and trans falling apart at 25k miles, dealer needs two weeks to fix it.
What is MSRP ? Just curious because I'm also interested in the Nissan Frontier and I think they're asking 48k
Have a 21 gmc at4 w the 3.0L. Love it. Had it exactly a year and just hit 21k miles. As far as hearing the turbo spin up and shifting longer, mine has sport mode. It gets longer intervals bn shifts in sport mode. Not sure if the newer ones have it. I know gmc got rid of sport mode in some of the 21’s . I do t mind the sound.
Last truck was an f150 3.5 ecoboost. It was fast as hell, but no matter how I drove it, the best I got for mileage was 14.5 mpg.
I get 21 on a bad day in the diesel.
really eh? 14.5 mpg out the Eco boost kind of sucks but I have heard they are gas guzzlers. but that is really cool your truck has a sport mode. probably would make a good difference on the shifts
The gear shifter is awesome. Every modern vehicle uses that style now. Our Escalade and our AT4 has it and they match
I prefer the new shifter to the old one in my last Sierra. The column shifter would bounce around on rough roads. This is much better than the knob that Ram uses.
My mom has a 2021 3.0 duramax sierra and she and i love it. Plenty of power and get gets 30mpg easy on the highway laden down with cargo and people.
You should’ve tried it in sport mode. It’ll stay in lower gears longer and give you that turbo spool-up you were missing. I’ll occasionally switch over to sport mode and get on her down an open interstate, just for the feel of it!
probably good to do once and awhile anyways... need to run them hard to clean them out.
Ended up with a Silverado 1500 with the 3.0L Duramax when renting a vehicle for work on one occasion. I was blown away with this engine. I loved it. Fortunately, it didn't have the "mouse" shifter. I'd consider buying one. My 2019 Ram (not the Classic) 5.7L has a much better ride though.
Rams do ride exceptionally well! But ya I was impressed with the power
You dont need to be a diesel mechanic to review the driveability of a truck. I was hoping more for a mechanical review, and what some of the pros and cons are of this newer design 3.0L diesel and how the LZ0 has improved over the LM2
Not sure about that shifter. Mine is the 2020 silverado and it's got the classic column shifter so not a problem. Also with almost 50k miles on it the sound has started to get a bit louder which I like. I appreciate the quiet but now that it's breaking in the sound has come alive. As far as 10 speed is concerned the 2020 silverado had a few different drive modes and the sport mode does prevent that shifting until it gets between 4-5k rpm so you get that full turbo spool.
I have 2 of these trucks with the 3.0L diesel. I have check engine lights on in both of them. Something to do with the NOX sensor......my dealer tells me GM currently does not have a fix for it. Doesn't seem to affect how the trucks run or perform at all however when your check engine light is on your remote start won't work. Up here it's not to start your truck ahead of time in the cold winters
I like to hear an engine like that lug too instead of downshifting but the problem is when you do that your mileage goes down. That's probably why they configured it that way.
I have a 2021 AT4 with the 3.0. 39,000 miles. Lifetime avg. mpg. is 22.0. Pulls a 32 ft. travel trailer no issues. More torque than your 6.4 hemi. The new 3.0 for 2023 has 495 ft. lbs. with 305 hp. Good video!
Do you still have your AT4? If so, how are you liking it after owning it for some time now? Just picked up ‘24 myself, with only around 500 miles so far. Whats your long term take?
@@dopeboyp3487 60,000 miles on it now. Hasn't missed a beat! Mileage still good.
@@andyjackson7475 Excellent!!! I pray it serves you well for many miles to come! Thank you for sharing!
Yeah had a hard enough time going from the column to the dial shifter on my Ram but that rocker shifter on the GMC is is much less intuitive, plus I prefer having a bench seat to have more space.
Got the 3.0 duramax Sierra today only knock is the paddle shifters don’t work until you engage the shifter it’s like a waste. They should work immediately
Have to admit I’ve always liked Fords - GMs and Dodge are just as good I don’t doubt it…but…I got the chance to drive an F250 6.7 diesel yesterday and man I LOVED it. One day, I hope to own one - Cheers
The newer PowerStrokes are good engine from what I've heard. people seem to really like them!
This is a totally different application.
Dont worry bout the shifter. The column shifter can still be had even at the slt trim level if optioned with bench seat which is preferable for me at least.
NOTES ON SEATING: The seats on the 1500 GMC/Silverado are really the same, "bench" vs. "buckets" if you look at the details the difference is in the center seat/console section....the bench seat config 40/20/40 split bench uses the same "seats" as the "bucket seat" option only the consoles are different, buckets give you the fancy console with the console shifter and the bench 40/20/40 setup gives you a basic console (no shifter) BUT secondary storage BELOW the fold down center seat back
Seats are the same, it's the consoles and there configuration
Not with the 3.0 you can't!
I have a 2020 SLT 3.0 with the column shifter and the bench seats. Amazing truck!
@@johnknight4877 yes you can. I can post a link if yoi need me to
I have both 21 sierra with the 3.0 diesel and a 22 power wagon. I absolutely love my sierra as far driving but not the way it looks. I hate everything about the power wagon
I have a 21 3.0 LM2 and I love the thing. I also agree with you about the noise, wish it was a hair louder. I daily drive a 2001 vw golf diesel and she def lets you know its a diesel LOL... As far as the 10 speed I like it. My guess as to why it behaves like you mentioned is pure fuel economy, pushing loads of boost means more fuel.
Nailed it on the head! I was thinking about that as I was edition this video. definitely a fuel thing. but as for driving the 10 speed shifted smooth and fast - no complaints.
I think you explained everything beautifully. But there is. One question that I have and that's the auto stop on this diesel vehicle. I hate that, I think the diesel trucks should run and not stop at every stop sign. What is your take on this?
Love your videos Frank
I don't know why GM didn't just leave the gear shifter on the column. It's out of the way and it leaves that center console area much more open.
Next time try it in tow/haul mode to see if it holds the gears longer. Putting my '15 Sierra 6.2 in tow/haul makes it feel extra sporty. I don't really do it often because I'm more interested in fuel economy but it does seem to make a difference.
the towing mode in my '21 Sierra 10-sp has worked fantastically, having towed about 10k miles with it already
Can you review the F250? And explain the 6.7 diesel in depth.
The shifter is great. The paddle shifter is great also
Agreed
The LZO duramax is the best engine you can buy in the half ton segment! Only thing I don’t like is the shifter. It needs to go back to a column shifter.
I’m going drive one tomorrow. I’ll see this or the 5.3 🤷🏻♂️
My dad and I both have SLT 3.0 Duramax. I ordered mine special with the max trailering package so mine has 3.73 rear axle while his has 3.23. Night and day difference in driving experience. Mine gets up and goes much faster.
I also have the Max Tow Package. Do you notice a difference in gas mileage?
My dad has same truck without max tow package and mine gets better fuel economy. His is a 2021 and mine is a 2022 refresh.
With all those gears it would be amazing with a 410. Like my 8.1
@@ronkirkham3410 3.73 gears are perfect for a tow/daily driving rig, in my humble opinion
I would have liked 3.73 but I have a Denali Ultimate and you can only get 3.23 with an Ultimate.
I have had two the little diesel and I loved them
honestly great to drive
@@TheGettyAdventures it drives great . It is the smoothest engine
I like diesel the only problem is I’ve only worked on gas engines so I know nothing about disels and I know they run away if the seals go bad but hopefully the seals don’t go bad on these engines until at least 350k miles
I just rolled off the lot today with a 23 LZ0 Silverado
I have a 21 gmc 4x4 3.0 and the transmission broke down at 53k i used it for hauling few times only, everything was really good until now... I don't know what to think about it😢
Love the new shifter on mine. Far nicer than rams rotary shifter.
Lmaoo they are both bad. I guess I'm more used to the ram though!
Totally agree, I actually enjoy the new console shifter.
Agree.
Your issues with the 10 speed is my issue with all modern automatic transmissions, they don't lug enough. They constantly want the downshift and then upshift as soon as you stop accelerating, makes for an annoying experience on hilly terrain and it dumps a shit ton of heat into the transmissions when towing.
I wonder if putting it in Tow Haul mode would provide the shifting you would like to have? It does change shifting but I cant say it would do what you wanted. I have a 2022 GMC with the 3.0 and love the thing. I'm so glad I went diesel and this truck/configuration in a 1/2 ton was what sold me.
I bet it would impact it a little. I think it is probably for fuel economy. more boost usually results in more fuel burnt.
@@TheGettyAdventures can you recommend that engine the 3.0 ? I want buy one but I keep truck for 14 years or 150k miles ... I have 2010 bougth brand new now has 110k and 13 years old I starer to look for new truck ... please give me you opinion on the 3.0 I am really good in maintenance
Ya rams are nice, I love a dial shifter so my truck sometimes won’t go in gear , and like my neighbors ram he sometimes can’t even back up out of his driveway or take off from a green light, POS truck but yeah the giant screen in cool.
How ridiculous to dwell on the lack of noise. The quieter the better. If you want it noisy then open the window and freeze.
Who makes the engine? Is this one Isuzu too? And as someone who has a V8 Duramax, I sure hope it's a lot easier to change the injectors on this one.
I buy used simply because I can not afford or rationalize a truck worth over $100.0 new. After your first review of the engine and it's design I would question even buying used. Mainly because of the motor having such challenges in checking oil pump belt, and other components.
Re Intercooler: Shorter plumbing makes for faster response, Mr. Mechanic.
1 dollar per liter more (than gas) though where I live. I like the engine for sure, just this diesel situation in an oil exporting country is a bit ridiculous IMO.
Here where I live diesel is within $0.50 of regular 87 and I get at min 10mpg better then if my truck had the 6.2 gas which is the only other engine option that could be had in a Denali Ultimate. I average about 28mpg and best I have got is 37.5. I have never even got those numbers in a car before. If I had the 6.2 it would probably get on average around 18 I am assuming and best I would ever see is probably 23-25. Gas prices skyrocketed earlier this year and diesel prices stayed the same basically here too so diesel was almost the exact same price for a couple months as regular 87. It uses so little fuel its probably been a month since I even filled it up and I still have a half tank. I guess I have only drove about 300 miles in that month but I have a 2nd truck with the 5.3 mom has been driving and she fills it up every week or 2 lol.
Here in Edmonton 87 is $1.36.9, diesel is $1.30.9
@@nunyabusiness6919 That is pretty good. I guess you are buying it by the liter there which is what like 3.7 liters I think per gallon. Both 87 and diesel are just a little over $3 per gallon here. I am out of town though so that is what it was when I left. Where I am now prices are about $1 more each then back home down south. Diesel always used to be cheaper then gas but in the last 15 or so years diesel has been more expensive. Before I left town 87 was right around $3 and diesel was like $3.40 range. I know it varies some gas stations I saw as high as $4.99 for diesel which makes no sense since the gas station down the street its $1.50 cheaper lol. I like to buy at Costco but the Costco only has 87 and premium they don't sell diesel. They only sell top tier fuels though. Lot of gas stations here sell top tier but from what I can tell only the gas is top tier rated not the diesel.
@@nunyabusiness6919 Did you notice I posted that 7 months ago? Way to go.
FACT: Every engine that has a turbo.. will eventually need a new turbo!
Nice to see its not a gong show to change it on this one
The shifter is awesome don’t get the complaining
since I have driven GM iron for years .... but it will fall apart in about 200K. Also the oil pump is driven with a rubber belt and you must remove the transmission to replace the rubber belt. Also.... why would I want to pay for a quiet diesel?
maybe do the test again in tow/haul mode. takes longer to shift
Put it in sport mode it's a beast
I have a 2021 with 30,000…….it has an issue starting since it had 270 miles on it…
Dealers can’t fix it….using oil in 3000 miles….a couple other issues also….
I love the truck but don’t trust it…going to trade for a gasser!
Gm needs to get these problems fixed…they have known about them since 2019
Good review
Thank you sir!
You talked about having a good torque. Did the one you tested had the 3.23 Rear Axel or the 3.73? Thanks like always for all your input.
my '21 has the 3.23 I believe, and the torque is fantastic
@@BrianKrahmer thank you for the info. I will be pulling a max of 6.5k. I believe the 3.23 should be more than enough and keep the fuel efficiency as a daily driver.
I have a 3.73 axle and nothing is better in every aspect
@@Steve-kx6hd I will have to order then. I like the fact that I can go up to 13k with a 3.73. All the ones any dealer brings to their lot is the 3.23.
@@ptjr89 yes you are correct. The fuel consumption with the 3.73 gears is very minimal but way better for towing. Torque etc.
They are harder to find but worth every penny. IMHO
is this the same motor found in the yukon diesel?
I have the 2.8L Duramax in the Colorado and I love it so far but there is lag in the throttle input unlike that 3L
totally different engine platform from the 3.0, btw
@@BrianKrahmer I know but it’s different I just wanted to put more information out there for people
I think you should stick to reviewing 2000's loud obnoxious ford's. You contradicted yourself a couple times on torque and power. This engine is a solid option for everyone. It gives you power, fuel economy and towing capabilities. The turbo is not a regular turbo either hence no lag. It's a twin scroll turbo. Also your opinion of it "upshifts" to fast is the opposite of what people would say is bad. If the transmission lags to shift people would say it's broken.
They should’ve put like a 4 or 5 liter in. 3 is small
Good video
Your power wagon looks awesome too. But needs bigger tires. Lots of space in wheels
Looks are 1 thing and I like bigger tires too, but maybe he's trying to salvage that insanely awesome fuel mileage he gets 😀.
It's on the to-do list lmao. probably going with 35's. nothing crazy but it'll fill the truck out better and give me an inch of ground clearance.
You should try the latest version of the ecodiesel, 19 and up. It has throttle response like this duramax and it is actually difficult to pull away from a stop on wet pavement without spinning the tires. Very very different experience from the older versions.
Fair enough, I have not driven one of the newer ones yet!
The new 2023 3.0 duramax just got updated with more hp and torque. Try that one.
@@TheGettyAdventures I am told the new 3rd Gen ecodiesel drives like a 40hp tuned 2nd Gen. Ecodiesel. I have a 3rd Gen. And a stage 1 software only 3rd Gen drives like a stage 2 deleted 2nd Gen.
But it’s obsolete in January
Who wants a v6 when you can get an in-line diesel.
I wouldn't have that truck...oil pump situation is a deal killer!
ok we see your preference
I really need to know the type of transmission!!!
Put it into sport mode it hangs in gear a lot longer.
I'd love this in the at4x or the ZR2
I believe you can have one in the AT4?? not sure about the ZR2 though
At4 has it but the at4x and zr2 they can't fit the diesel in because of the added from clearance.
me to man analog all the way with the bench seat in the front
As you drive it more and it learns your drive style, it will be less aggressive to downshift
fair enough! it was my first time driving it lol
i disagree. i have put 15k miles on my '21, and normally drive very conservatively. not only is this thing VERY eager to down-shift, but the cruise control is SUPER aggressive. go drive a 3.0 TDI Audi Q5 to feel how a really well-programmed transmission shifts, IMO.
Where in Ontario is your shop?
Is there any real break in procedure with these 3.0 engines ? Nothing in the owners manual, but a lot of opinions online.
there most likely is. personally I'm not sure but almost every engine has some kind of break-in.
2021 owner. My manual recommended the first 500 miles at 55mph and lower with varying speeds. If I remember that was in the diesel engine supplement not in the regular truck manual. I did a bit over 6000 miles towing a 7500 lb travel trailer this past summer. 13 mpg That’s about what I expected. At 55 - 60 mph not towing I’ll get between 26-30 mpg. Towing that tall trailer cuts my mpg almost exactly in half. It did close to that with the 5.3 gasser I previously owned. Unladen the 5.3 would get around 22 mpg. Put that trailer back there and 8-10 mpg was doing good. I could move that to 11 by driving at 55 mph in the 5.3. The diesel got the 13 running 65 mph with perhaps 1/4 of the drive at 70 mph.
@@joechandler8398 mine as well
Is this the Lm2 or the LZ0
been nice to know what trim level you were driving geez
SLT I believe
Can the car work in hot areas?
what year is this???? you nee to place year in ur title!
16k kms never heard my turbo in my 22 🤷♂️
dude wtf?! that price is nuts!
A little bit louder and ditch the joy stick shifter. These are my two complaints also, but the pros far out number the cons.
Agreed! I had to pick on something to be fair in the this video but the pros are far far better then the cons!
Bummer you couldn’t find an LZ0! Doesn’t it drive amazing!!!! Jeez I love my 2022 Trail Boss! My Dmax tows my RV better than my 6.4 Hemi and also gets 5mpgs better while towing and 13mpgs better driving in the city!
All this technology and still can’t make a manual transmission, they throw a 6 speed into it and I would prob go out and buy one but until then I’ll stick to my good old 7.3 idi 5 speed
Put a Banks PedalMonster on it if you want that oomph..
It sounds to me like he had a predetermined prejudiced against GM vehicle before he even started his review it was very negative if you listen to his remarks as he did his review
Shifter reminds me of my son's Hyundai electric car.
lol It's a little too fancy for a pick up truck. that's all I'm saying! put a standard gear shifter in there and leave it alone.
Seems louder then my 6.6
Where’s the tow video
Duramax all day
you didnt use the manual shift pads.
Lmao I honestly didn't even think to use them. there was just so much new stuff and I wanted to see how the truck drove on it's own.
Dodge guy prefers a knob shifter 😂
I don't like either of them lmao what is so wrong with a normal gear lever lol
@@TheGettyAdventures gm still offers a column shifter. Up to the slt trim with bench seat
$93k for an SLT? That’s Canadian right?
2022 3.0 LM2 Silverado, the worst truck I’ve ever owned. 25k miles, crank seal leaking, long crank issue, engine sputtering, transmission clunking, even at lower speeds, fuel regulator malfunctioning, fuel pump malfunctioning, fuel filter replacement required also. Yes, all under warranty, but hell of an inconvenience and loss of income from work. I rather own a Ram now!!!
The brakes feel so soft compared to a gasser
You don't like the shifter but you like that stupid dial Ram uses.
For just shy of 105K you can buy a heavy duty diesel and have money left over. Nice truck though, but not at that price.
Good review on this truck.
😎
👍👍👍👍👍
He has to be a Canadian. Huge difference in our money. That truck here is like $65k probably in USD. I have a Denali Ultimate the fanciest truck you can buy and it was only $83k so
You look much more happy driving the gm truck 🤣 jk. Pull the trigger and buy it. But I would buy the chevy model.
Yup I would but the chevy model also. more my style. the GMC is more of a modern truck if thats makes sense lol
👍👍👍👍👍
People actually buy this truck? It’s not all that bad, but when you have a choice between the Duramax, the Power Stroke, or the Cummins, why settle for the one that finishes third? All the manufacturers have had problems, but not at the level of GM and the Duramax. Good luck and make sure you get the longest extended warranty that they offer.
I mean I wont disagree with you. But I think this engine has some potential. 3 years no the road and no major issues which is pretty damn good for a modern diesel. obviously if you have the money and are looking at a 2500. A cummins is the gold standard.
There is no Cummins available in a RAM 1500. From the 1500 diesel engine options, this 3.0 Duramax is closest in design to the Cummins being that it is an inline 6. The Ford and RAM 1500 diesels were V6 designs. Notice that I said "were" as they are no longer being offered so if you want a 1500 diesel, this is your only option and it is a fantastic engine.
a Duramax is not a Duramax! the 3.0 was designed mostly by the German division of GM, Opel. The 6.7 was a joint-engineering effort with Isuzu. So completely different engines with completely different missions. I wished there were efficient small diesel trucks for 15 years before they finally came out. I now have a '21 Sierra averaging about 32mpg running around, and i love it.
You can't fit that in the truck???? My 2011 bmw 335d can fit a air to air cooler in it and its a 3 series. Talk about a bad layout of the motor.
I'm not honestly sure. but with a truck the cooling items are much bigger. potential oil cooler and trans cooler up front. but yes apparently it's a very tight fit lol
@@TheGettyAdventures but you got to remember it a 3.0 same size motor. I have the x5d that has the m57 same as my e90 335d. The only thing difference is, x5d has an extra egr on it. The m57 also has a compound turbo set up. Which is more part and still fits in a 3800 pound car. I like some of gm stuff but just a bad design lay out of the motor. Motor good just a bad layout. Simple is better in a diesel engine. To much going on with this.
Quite for a diesel is still way too loud. The ticking sounds terrible. That's a big NO for me. Sticking to gas.
Why do you continually review the Duramax Diesel while standing in front of your Dodge? If you didn’t have the Duramax there any longer, you could have simply had a non-vehicle background.
This thing would move like a stabbed rabbit after a delete.
I agree. She would be pretty quick!
