congrats !!!!

:welcome2: Welcome to the board, and enjoy your truck!

Welcome! Sure you can handle the power...its a step-up from a powerchoke! Lol Welcome agian,
Matt

If you pay attention to the wrong people on here you won't be happy long.

Enjoy it -- you now have a great truck.

I just bought mine recently too and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They sell em cheap up there in Michigan don't they.

It was a joke, he said he owned 5 vehicals previous to this one and he traded the powerJoke in, and he LOVES the d-max (Duramax has more power then the 99 powerChoke)...just a joke! B-R-E-A-T-H...Wussssaa

I had a Superchips Tuner on my '99 P.S., it had a shift kit and straight pipe. I have no complaints with that truck I loved it. But this truck has got just as much or more get up and go as the Powerchoke did on the 110 hp setting w/ the tuner and I haven't even gotten started with this one yet. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSzeb008)I LOVE IT!!

Hey have fun with it. I bought mine in late April. A month later my pop went out and bought one. It's contagious.

Have a good one!!

lb7, just cant beat them...even the new hummer h1 (alpha) has one!!!$ 75,000....

I have 150,000 miles on my '02 and love it just as much to day as the day I bought it. Enjoy!

.....I've had mine now for just over 2 years and couldn't be more pleased. With BD-Powers "INTIMIDATOR" selected to the level-1 setting (55HP + 110 lbs-ft-tq) it hauls my camper (10.5' Okanagan @ 3200lbs) like a dream with very good mileage 16-17 MPIG (miles per imperial gallon). The quietness, even under load, is astounding and linked with that Allison 5 speed with tow/haul it can't be beat. Also another fine attribute is ease of which it is to carry out servicing the different gear boxes due to the drain plug installation and filter locations. 2 thumbs up to GM for really thinking this baby through and making it so user friendly. It is, bar none, the best truck I've owned so far and I plan to keep 'er a while longer.......................SWH...

I've got a black 2001 Duramax with 66,000 miles on it. No big problems to date, it's comfortable, it's powerful and it's good lookin'.:D

Ditto on the black 2001. Mine's at 38,100 miles.

welcome to the club.. all the best with the new for you truck. wont let mine go...theyll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers!! he he

[/URL] I love driving this thing. The only problem is when I'm driving all I can think about is mods...... and the fact that my fuel mileage sucks (already started another post about that so I won't go off here) No obvious causes. I'm gonna take it in to see if something can be done about it. This is a sweet and incredibly helpful website!!!![URL="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSzeb008"]http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_36.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSzeb008)

it makes me even happier when i see a person go from a ford to gm.....they did thingss to me in the late seventies that will have me buying elsewhere for life..my last letter to them specifically stated i will be buying several trucks in my lifetime and they wont be with the ford logo on them..so far ive purchased five chevies/gmcs..for business and pleasure ! go gm

I have to say, I have 39K on my 2002 and its running great ....no issues. Good Luck on yours....I went from ford to GM also...Bill

You think you are happy now? Juice that sucker and have a ball! Get an EGT guage, secondary fuel filter (Hey Frank Blum - are you hearing this?) and open that muffler up to at least a 4" flow through type, then let the good times roll!!

Welcome aboard!

lb7, just cant beat them...even the new hummer h1 (alpha) has one!!!$ 75,000....

The new Hummer Alpha has an LB7? I thought it was an LLY.

i just got mine last monday and love it! cept for the fact its been in the shop for over a week now... damn my impatience

Had mine now for over 2 years now and so far it's been great. When you add that tuner you'll notice that it really wakes that LB7 up. Nothin' like it.......:D .......SWH...

i have had mine for 4 years now and i am going to get rid of it. in 2012. lol. i cant whate to ee what gm has for us then :ro)

The list just keeps getting longer. I tell myself I'll just do a chip, gauges, and exhaust........Then I keep reading.........I'm sure y'all know the rest of the story. It' s a love hate relationship.

CONGRATS!!! Hope you have lots of luck. I have had mine for 3years, and love it. Just wait till you strt the mods, then you'll really love it.

I'm one of the people on this site to stay away from :evillol: Here is a recent thread I started spraying goodness (http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42859) .....come join the dark side and let the modding fun begin! :evillol:

You are going to like it even more the more you are in it! If you think it runs strong now, just wait to you call up Edge!!!!:ro)

love my 03 duramax too went out and raced a 2002 ford f250 and smoked the **** out of it and he had a intake, 100 hp chip, and 4 inch strait pipe.

That's exactly what I did. His truck was a 2001 F350 7.3L with the 100hp Superchips programmer and 4" straightpipe. Mine was stock at the time. I beat him by 3 truck lengths in the 1/4 mile.
