I am in the market for an '06 Chevy 2500HD CC LWB 4x4. I understand the '06 is out now with the LLY and 6 spd Allison. I also understand that the LBZ will be out in a few months. I am not all that concerned about giving up the 50HP that the LBZ offers, as I will definitely be running some sort of programmer on the truck to get added performance.
Here's my issue...the '06 LLY is a combo that will only be produced for 2-3 months. I'm not sure if it's computer is different from the '05, but it wouldn't surprise me. So, will any aftermarket companies (like Edge) be willing to offer products for it? If I buy a truck now, will I be stuck leaving it stock? It is a major concern to me.
I know one possible answer is to wait for the LBZ as it will surely get aftermarket support. However , I doubt the smoking deals Chevy is offering now will carry over to the LBZ-equipped trucks. I have been offerred a great deal if I order a truck now. Plus, there is always the worries of having a first-year motor combo.
I am new to the diesel truck world and would greatly appreciate any advice you guys can send my way. Thanks!
