I love my duramax. 2002 with the same injectors it left the factory with (160k ago). That's really the only issue that the LB7s had (01-04.5), and if you add a lift pump and a good filter you can go longer than most gas trucks live one one set. The LLY (04.5-05) has a couple very simple overheating problems, but if you spend a few hundred on a new turbo mouthpiece and egr delete they're plenty reliable.
About them being overrated... they're certainly not slow stock, and they've got tons of potential for huge power. At the end of last year a street driven duramax ran something like 9.4 seconds at 149mph in the quarter mile, weighing 6006 lbs. Not too shabby.
Chedisme, if you want to take a ride in my truck, and colins (01 CTD), and wades (97? powerstroke) at nacfest, you can see how they compare and judge for yourself. Ill even put a stock tune on mine for the day

There basicly the equivlent. Of an f450 in a big girl dress, and 650 make up.
And you can get them with a pickup bed through gmc.

I always love to see other peoples trucks. My buddys had abuch of different over the past few years 05 ctd, 08 ctd, 08 f450, 98? Ctd workd over made something like 6-700hp, 01
Ctd. And he curently drives a 11 ctd. So i have plenty of dodge and some ford experience but the only duramax experience is from the work trucks. While there not bad trucks, i just think the ford and dodges are better.
