Well I have been lurking for a little while, I bought a 05 2500hd Duramax, allison tranny combo about 3 weeks ago. An step up from the 03 1500HD 6.0 gasser I had.

I couldnt really pas up the deal got a crewcab LS package 4x4 for less then 31k.

I really like it so far.

Hope to tow with it at the end of the month.

Congrats,
I wish I had mine. Every GMC dealer in NorCal is pretty much out of Dmax's right now.

Thanks for the suggestions but I am looking for a GMC. I don't really care for the front ends on the new Chevy's. The GMC's are a little tougher to find. Not as many dealers or inventory.

It was just about this time last year that I discovered there were 3 2004 GMC diesels in Nor Cal and ordered my 2005. It was a painfully long 8 weeks but knowing I had one of the first 2005's in Santa Clara County and the first to roll of my dealer's was a small concilation prize.:-)

Welcome to the place Charles and congrats on the purchase! Where in Iowa are you from (I am guessing close to CR since you mentioned Pat McGrath.) They sure had a HUGE selection last time I was there.
