http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=143&stc=1 http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=144&stc=1 Modern diesel-powered trucks are obliterating the stodgy, dirty image created by diesels of yesteryear. Powered by the acclaimed 6.6L Duramax, this short-box, four-wheel-drive 2500 Silverado hits the road with more than 700 lb.-ft. of torque. The results are impressive and match the heavy-duty character of this Chevrolet.

To be serious I would take the new GM H.O.Duramax over the 6.0 vortec for my needs and desires.You can get some crazy Torque out of them and even bump the horsepower up quite a bit.And Diesel is a hell of alot cheaper than gas is.

700 ft-Lbs: Thats some tire smoking fun!!!!!!! Also looks good and diesel is cheap and lasts forever.

Dont know where you are but down here in NC the diesel is around 2.10-2.30
Gasoline is 1.71-1.89. Diesel has not budged in about 2 months but gasoline is starting to come down.

I meant to say in the long run but didn't.The Duramax is known to be trouble free even after 200k.
