V8's are gas, Numbers only are diesel (duh.) And other is for those that I have forgotten.

Actually, this should prolly go in the HD forum. Little help here, Mervz.

Well,I'm not really sure that the Duramax or even the 6.5 belongs in this discussion as it is an apples to oranges type comparison but I'd probably have to go with the Dmax (6.6) for overall economy,stock performance and expandibility while retaining it's streetability.

If I was going to go with a gasser,it would be hard to beat the venerable 454 because of how long it was in service but it's really too early to tell how it will stack up against the 496 with the latter being in early production stages and also vastly detuned from what it is capable of.

Who voted for the 6.5 ? The Duramax is what I voted for.

Yep,she's still pulling along.

Just turned 29,000 on the odometer this afternoon and we haven't even had it for 10 months yet.This truck is definitely an awesome machine.

Yeah, I probably should have made two polls, one for gas, and then one for diesel.

I haven't been in the best of minds lately. Guessing it's from not being able to sleep until nearly 3 AM every night, getting up for class at 9 AM, going until 2 PM and having an insane amount of natural energy, rendering me unable to even take a nap duirng the day. Been like that for nearly a month, now.

And I've had to edit this post 3 friggin times due to spelling errors.

I'll know better next time
