You can feel free to put me on the list for the Suburban, completely loaded with a Duramax the minute it comes out.
I would prefer a Denali actually, but I don't think the upper finish level will be made with a 3/4 ton option, right?

How about they offer free towing too. On the way back from the river I saw two new Tahoes broke down and a newer truck, shortly after that...my dad lost his clutch, his oil pressure, he started overheating and now has a rod knock! The good ole Ford hooked up his boat and pulled it home though... carry on... :cool:

All this sounds great, Jay does GM actually think they are going to make a ton of Dough now that people know that they are making over $10K on some of their vehicles? BTW, are there any 05 Duramax Crews 4x4's left in the good ole USA with the employee pricing???

So the new burb will be out in 07, with the body changing in 08?
How much for a 3500 van in the meantime with a D-max?

gm pricing is 5% below invoice so on a $40k truck the price is $2k lower than I normally sold it for anyway and no there are no more 05 diesels left in crew cab

No worries! I'll hang out until we see some LBZ engine codes starting to show up and i'll come looking. It will give me some time to pay down what i owe on the GTO anyways. Know anyone looking to buy an 04 that put down 322 rwhp before the longtube headers were put on? :D

I call BS on better mileage on the Duramax. 360HP is a shit load for a stock motor. I wish that the big three would make a modest truck with around 280-300HP and 5-600lb-ft of tq and get a SOLID 22 mpg. It just seems that every year the HP wars start up and we (the consumers) get fed up with stuff that goes wrong. i.e.: injectors, poor mileage, fuel system problems......
The big 3 sacrifice longetivity and durability for more HP.

Not claiming one is better then the other but why did Chevy change there back brakes back to drums in the half tons. Sounds like a step in the wrong direction. Ford also went back to locking hubs in the front on the f250 and the f350s so that is kind of a step in the wrong direction to :confused:
