I've never owned a duramax, so I don't have any firsthand experience. But, other than the posts here, I've never heard much good about them.
When I was shopping for a truck earlier this year, my mechanics (both worked for the same Ford dealership for years before starting their own shop) warned me that the Ford 6.0's had bad problems. They said the 7.3 was a good engine.
