Over the years I have had many 7.3 trucks, (6) 12v cummins trucks, (1) 24v cummins and (2) 7.3 Powerstroke trucks.
So, now I am looking at a 2003 Chevy 3500 4wd dually 4 door Duramax auto and have a couple of questions:
1-what is an average for empty MPG?
2-Is this a better or worse year compared to other D'max engine years? (Anything bad or good compared to other years?)
3-I don't see many of the Duramax models with a lot of miles on them, any reason? Does anyone here have one with a lot of miles?
4-I drive about 100k a year. I have 265k on my ford now, 710k on my last Dodge, have these trucks been as reliable under load daily?

Sorry to ask all this, I just found this truck, and want to get info before its sold.

Thanks for your help...now talk me into it...!

Well,you have my condolences for being on the other side for so long.Welcome--almost I guess.OK now--for me--I'm on my third Dmax now--all have been great--app.150,000 miles for all. Had new injectors once after 40,000 miles on my LB7 and the wire rub deal on the LLY.Love each truck more than the earlier one.Smoothness,quietness,power--it's all there.If you want to see bigger #s,do a search--I know I've seen some impressive figures.Good luck.
