mtate2003 04-20-2006, 05:31 PM to send the wife over the edge and give me 100% approval on a diesel. Especially now with diesel in our area at 2.70/gal and gas at 2.80/gal she now understands the difference between 11.5mpg in my 6.0 to 17-18 in our friends duramax.):h sheperd3175 04-20-2006, 05:42 PM Good move... Traded the slo 6.0 in two years ago... Best decision ever... Actually have power AND economy... Take er easy with the edge on 2 and expect 22-24 mpg on the highway. Problem is no one wants 6.0's Shepherd 03 GMC CC DM/Ally Edge W/attitude mtate2003 04-20-2006, 05:52 PM a little hurt in the pocket to start off. It's an 03 in near perfect condition. I purchased it just before Katrina, and it set until prices came back down. I owe about 20K on it now. I expect to get around 16-17K on trade in, then i stack what i owe on it on top of a duramax around 21-23K and keep my payments about the same. vett502 04-20-2006, 09:52 PM Good move, even with diesel here in CA around $3.15 a gallon. Still cheaper a mile to burn diesel. kmo058 04-22-2006, 02:46 PM Man, where do you live?
