Looking at tow rigs... what would you buy?

Nice truck. LLY or LBZ?

I have no clue.

I have no clue.

Post the VIN on thedieselplace.com and they can tell you everything about the truck. They offered both generations of that motor (LLY and LBZ) in '06.

Ok. Check digit 8 is a 2, which comes back as LLY

Ta da.

NICE truck

Hopefully it's nice in person. Going to see it in a couple of hours.

I could do the job with a 3/4 ton, but the money is about the same... what the heck. I keep trucks for a long time. This will pull the next boat and any buddy's boat too.

Very nice. Like the color!

[FULL FORCE]

Ta da.

I like hem witht he molded flares....only bad thing is if you catch something it is more then replacing just a flare!!

So far been easy to get used to my dually!

Hey funds. is that Red GMC dually by you still for sale?

[RLJ676]

Ta da.

Nice!

My 01 with 165K on it has no rattles, don't listen to that nonsense.

The GMT800's are very solid trucks, I really like mine (other than the big block gas mileage). Any of those pre-emissions trucks will be great for you, great power/allison/mileage combo. Way better than the 6.0's of that era.

If you PM me the vin, I'll get the build sheet and warranty history for you.

I still cannot get over the IFS on a heavy duty truck....I have had a torsion bar fail, don't want that with a 10,000lb load behind you... I like the SFA for a HD vehicle, guess thats me.. and GM interiors tend to rattle alot...

Besides that they look good and the Duramax is good.., well looked good till 07, I like the older style much better..

A lot of people who run fleets have no problem with IFS on their heavy duties. Better ride, less bump steer, and no more replacement of parts. Everything I hear about Dodge and Ford says they have front end part replacements just as often.

Now, when you start lifting them and running over 35's, I'd say SFA for sure.

I don't think so. But I stopped searching gassers a while back.

I'll pm you the dealership info.

Thank you everyone who made suggestions. I ended up buying the 2006 GMC 3500 dually, 6.6 Duramax, leather, XLT, bose, onstar, brake controller, 95,000 miles.

It's in my driveway now. Just drove it 2.5 hours and boy, did people get the phuck out of my way.

It's the same color as my 1/2 ton GMC. Also a Sierra.
It's a fleet.

Thanks. I like it. No buyer's remorse. Just wish that it was warmer so I could wash this dam salt off.
