2017 Duramax

I do have some lingering concerns about the emissions equipment becoming a money pit once the truck is out of warranty ... we will finally see the aftermarket step up and make cheap replacement emissions parts, so that will probably be a non-issue. Just me being paranoid.

You mean like LB7 injectors........?

Like LLY head gaskets.......?

Hey, now, you can't quote half of a paragraph :hello:
And yes, I would say LB7 injectors and all head gaskets have become reasonable in price. And with the new SAC-style LB7 injectors, we might have fixed (or really helped) the lifespan too. So like I said in the paragraph you cut out, I think it will be fixed, I just like to be paranoid.

On a 2015+ truck?????

Yeah, my cousin with the ambulance service has a 2015 Chevy (non-Denali, but fairly loaded out) truck (the supervisor vehicle, he gets to take it home, lucky dog!). I helped him do the up-fit with the lights, siren, toolboxes, etc, so I was inside & out of that truck. And I do feel it is inferior to the 2003-2007 interior. But that is just my :2cents:. And if GM sorts out the software crashing/weirdness that the 2013-15 vehicles I've seen seem to have, the 2017 will be a slick truck. I'm just not sold on the 2008-2016 yet. Again, just my opinion. Still would rather have a 2011+ GM over a 2011+ Dodge or Ford.

2015+ is way nicer inside than my 06 in my opinion.

Maybe I need to go check out a Denali truck? I did ride in a 2016 Yukon Denali that was really nice. The integrated Qi wireless charging in the center console was a nice touch too.

X2 the interior in my 06 isn't even comparable to my 15. The 11-14 are very cheap feeling to me.

The interior in my 07 feels cheap compared to my 15. No comparison between the trucks IMO. 15 has a nicer interior, better ride, more features, and gets better MPG. If it wasn't for all the work I've done to my LBZ I wouldn't have a problem selling it.

agreed.

i loved the interior of my 02 right up till the 15s. the 07.5-10 were really cheap, noisy feeling. 11-14 got a little better but still didnt like that. 15s and up i have no gripes with

While the pre lmm trucks interior are pretty plan compared to today's trucks. Let's see how good of shape they are in after they are 10+ years old. My only real bitch about the older trucks are all the damn lights that burn out on the HVAC etc.
I know some don't care, but it's nice to not have cracks or paint peeling off things after the first few years.

I know the new carpet fender liners hold salt and road grime really good.

Well rubber/plastic/felt doesnt rust...

And its not like the GMT-800 fenders dont catch a whole bunch of crap and sludge on the bottom edge/pocket by the front doors

The metal they attach to does. Especially when they drill into fenders to mount the gm mud flaps. These fenders will be worse then the last body style. Anything holding moisture tends to rust fast.

I'm sorry, what year truck do you have again Ben?

 

[NC-smokinlmm]

While I agree with you in pretty much everything you said, I would have to say the people that buy these trucks and depend on them day to day for work care a lot about the reliability of the emissions systems. While they might not be out any money for the repairs, being without the truck because of problems can be very costly to their business.

Couldn't have said it any better. When my trucks down I'm hemorraging money, I dont care what it takes to get it back up.

X2 and those pre 15 nbs seat suck

So here we are almost half way through the third quarter and still no details on the truck other than the hood scoop. This better be big. And I mean. REALLY big for them to keep this so secretive. Yeah I know, I sound like a broken record with this, but the suspense is killing me. I'm hungry for info.

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

We already know a bunch 445/900 continental controller denso fuel system, Borg warner turbo. Same frame and body other then the hood

I'm curious to see if they went reverse flow heads like it looks they did

 

[hntngkd]

They did not.

Lol kinda like the really hot chic you pursue, and then once you get her she is terrible

 

[JDPlowboy]

When did we get engine numbers?

 

[dmax_ty]

They did not.

Details man!


We won't tell if you don't
