Hello. I'm new to the forum. Just got my Chev Duramax yesterday. I got it to tow a fifthwheel trailer. It replaces my '00 Chev 2500 6.0 gasser. Another difference is the old was 2WD the new Duramax is 4WD. I've never had a diesel or 4WD until now.


Anything from your experience I should know about the Duramax and Allison? I plan to study the owner's manual this weekend and I'm visiting as many diesel sites as possible. but I'd surely benefit from someone who's gone through "the change" http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif already!


Thanks!

paper sniper,


This post shoud be in the duramax/allison section to get the best response. We're using the older 6.5 and you have a 6.6.
