Congart on the new duramax, you want be disappointed, There are lots on information on this site, from add ons to maintance, and mileage (it will get better once broken in) mine starting getting better around 7000, but over all you will love the power, and for myself I'll never go back to a gasser!!

Welcome to the DP and congrats on the truck! I had the 5.3 in my 02 Avalanche. What a difference! :D

Plenty of great intel and discussion on the DP site. We're not lacking for opinions. Depending upon what you plan to do on your truck the right answer is in the forum. :ro)

Do yourself a favor and don't utter these words: I'm going to keep my truck stock! ;) I would venture a guess that at least 75% of us have eaten them! Stay away from the Power and Performance forum, you will save lots of money. :p: Later. JJ :)
