Hello,


I'm about to be a new 2500HD D/A owner. I've always owned GM gas V8's but decided to switch. I'm hoping I will have an engine and trans combination that will last and give me plenty of years of trouble free enjoyment.


I ordered the new unit on April/15th, built on April 30th, and on its way home.


I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm sure I'll have questions.


Thanks in advance, Rob

Congratulations Rob!


My truck was also built the week of the 26th and "a little bird" told me it was on its way home. We are trading in a '97 Suburban for the CC Duramax/Ally and cannot wait for it to get here.


I was pulling our horse trailer to my daughters pony club the other night wishing I had the torque.


Good luck with your new truck.

How in the world did you manage to order it on 4/15 and it gets built 15 days later?

glilja,


Well thats a long story, but suffice to say that the General took pity on me for my devotion to the product since 1978 and after getting a gasser that had enough problems to make any grown man cry, someone way up the ladder said "get this man a truck now"


Thats the short version


now I'm looking forward to settling into some performance and longevity


I salute the General for his attention to real customer service,


Thanks all for the welcome

Welcome Rob, I know you will love the new truck they are awesome vehicles. Yesterday I delivered a Gravely mower to a gentleman who uses Dodge cummins trucks to deliver horses nationwide. Suffice to say he was more interested in the D/A truck than his new mower.


Welcome once again, oh yeah this is the best forum going,
