Ed, I traded my '96 Suburban/ 6.5 L in for a Duramax Crew Cab-the 6.5L was literally a lemon: 5 fuel injection pumps in 5 years. However, we (and I say "we" because I want my wife to go along when we pull our 30' trailer) are very, very satisfied, if not overwhelmed, by the performance of the Duramax/Allison tx. Checking with the GM service engineers before buying our Duramax verified that there ARE NOT HEAD problems with the Duramax. The only problem they've found so far is a flywheel problem on a few of them. That's not surprising knowing the quality of American made autos. This problem shows up in the first 1,000 miles or so and if you don't hear a "clacking" sound you're o.k. After my experience with the 6.5L I have been very cautious but, so far, have been very pleased. And, we don't have to walk 30 feet away from the truck to have a conversation! On the side, if Mercedes imported a full-size diesel in competition with any of these trucks, I would buy it in a heartbeat! One man's opinion.
