Lol maybe you should reread the bottom of chris's post. It wasn't a big slam but apparently he heard chris slip it in before. People get tired of that kind of stuff after a while.
NO WAY.Do a hand cal.on your mileage and see what it is.Some of the downloaders throw your trucks overhead computer mileage figures way off.coobie
I think Chris is telling it like it is, with no bashing involved. He speaks the truth about the GM diesel. I am on my fourth one and my last one. Fourteen - 17 at best, year models 2001 - 2007, the LB7 and the LBZ engine. GM's mileage on the Duramax is not what one would expect. Stinks actually. If you haven't owned one, don't knock the truth. For me, I couldn't care less. MPG is not my concern with a truck. If you're getting 20 + on a Duramax, count your luck stars. Lest you forget to consider the useless and crappy inherent injector problems with the LB7 engine. Just saying.Come on Chris...Is it really necessary to throw an un-necessary, out of context anti-GM diatribe on virtually every post...You got a lemon it appears. Happens to every brand at one time or another, and that includes the imports. I used to work in the service department of an import dealer and I saw them coming in on the hook daily, just like all other brands.
I'm pro GM, always have been and always will be. But I refuse to trash other brands. If there weren't die hard followers of GM, Dodge and Ford, they'd have been gone years ago (economic, management and labor issues aside). I see tons of new Dodges, Fords, Chevy's and GMC's everywhere around here, so there's room in the market for everyone without brand bashing.
I have never had a problem with a GM truck since my '83 Blazer. Once the racing tranny guy figured out GM's mistake on the 700R4, that one was golden too. Lighten up a little.
