Hello, I was sent a link to here by a member on Honda-tech.com. I just purchased a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500hd, and wanted to find a good forum to read and post in. Browsing through the site has assured me that this site is a good one for Duramax owner or enthusiasts.

I have always admired diesel powered vehicles, and longed to own a diesel pickup of my own for quite some time. My recent ex-girlfriend was a diesel pickup owner (2004 Ford F-250 Lariet CC/SB 6.0psd/TS-5spd) and avid horse rider. She used her pickup to tow the horses around, and for everyday use as well. I liked her pickup, but something wasn't quite right... it was a Ford. My uncle and cousin both have Cummins powered pickups (a common rail and a 12 valve respectively), and often times pushed me to go the way of the Cummins. I like the Cummins motors a lot, but I am not keen of the transmissions they put behind them, or of the trucks they install them in. I grew up a Chevy/GMC fan, and until recently I had not found one that fit my needs (crew-cab, long-bed, non dually)... that all changed recently.

Here is a shot of me for good measure

Well, things fell through on the deal. The seller wasn't exactly forthcoming about the title of the truck. He first stated that he had lost the registration, and that even though he had paid off the bank his pink slip was lost in the mail. I started to get leery about the deal at that point, but he did go to the DMV and get a copy of the registration. The registration indicated that the vehicle was a lemon law buyback vehicle, and a carfax report indicated it had been in an accident (despite his claim of no accidents and a clean title). The truck was clean, and seems to run well enough... though I'd rather hold out for another truck to come along.
