Hey, just picked up a 2006 2500 HD with the duramax and the allison. My 2nd truck, but my first V8 and first diesel. It came with a brake controler and a tuner that I haven't messed with. My plan was to leave it alone, as I have enough toys... I have a 2002 Jeep wrangler, slightly modified... Well, really modified. I take it to parks and break it. In comes a truck for towing.
My biggest reason for going with a chevy is the child restraints in the back seat. Fords don't have them at all, and there were no dodges in the state under 200k miles.
I guess there is more than that... My Father worked for GM for 30 years working on them, and has the 6.5, and it has been reliable, so props there.
Anywho, from what I understand I have an LL7. Going to change the oil and check all fluids over. Need to change the tires (one went bad on the way home from the dealer, thank god I know what a bubble in the tire feels like.) I need to install a goose neck hitch for the whole towing thing. There are 2 mods I have found I may go through with, a larger/better fuel filter, and extra oil filtration.
So how ya'll doing?
