Duramax VS 8.1L

I,like,the,white,one!

I always liked the Gray. My old Yukon was gray and it didn't hardly show the dirt. I did notice two are long beds and one is short. Do you have a preference? I have a CCSB and it is still long when parking some of the places I have to go, mainly DC parking garages and my own driveway. But there are plenty of times I wish I had long box too.

Go with the red one. It's the newest and in my opinion looks the best. Plus with the 06 you get the 6-speed Allison compared ot the 5-speed with the other two. The red one also has a ton of options including a factory DVD which I wish my 08 had. That 04 with 36,xxx miles on it is supscious to me. That's really low mileage and the wheels are ugly. Plus I'm not a fan of the long box in a crew unless you really need the room. A CCSB is long enough!

definatley go for the the gray CCLB 8.1 with 40k... great deal and you wont find many more low mileage 8.1's like that around. i have that color, IMO the best GMT800 color. definatley change the rims though.

That red one is very intrigueing because it has the 6 speed allison instead of 5. Thats a huge bonus!

Yeah they only made that in 06/07 Classics. Fewer 8.1's were made after 05 due to the popularity of the 6.6. It's rare to see a later model BB. The other day I saw one for sale out this way with a 6-speed manual. That's uber rare.

I just put a deposit down on the red truck for them to hold it until friday for me! Wish me luck and pray that its not a pos when i get there

do,a,carffax....

[KMGZ400]

do,a,carffax....

 

 

i agree.. you could get there and it could be a wreck, definatley do a carfax.

[SSSilverado23]

Carfax said that it has been in a wreck. Rear end collision. It took on some front end damage and 1 air bag was deployed. Said it was fixed and that owner drove it for 2 more years before trading it in. IDK what to do. If thats something that should be a deal breaker or not. carfax said its still worth more then what im paying. But it makes you wonder now.....

Get,the,charcoal,cclb!!
