Haven't owned a diesel since 1989, that POS Chevy soured my appetite for the towing ability. Maintenance was a nightmare, repairs were expensive and it was a turd in the sub-zero temps.

The new ones are much different. My beloved 2007 GMC Sierra classic 2500hd really got the job done till I got t-boned by some 50 Cent wannabe going 85mph in a fully loaded escalade w/o insurance in 2010.

Your father's diesels and the modern ones are completely night and day difference.

The GM diesels of the 80s and 90s made good boat anchors.

So BPWY, what do you say about the Duramax's from the 2000's and up? Especially the white ones?

In the hunt to add a truck. Anyone here running the newer ecoboost F150? Curiousity has me peaked on how they perform. My gas burner 5.4 has been a true proven worker, but this new technology has me wondering if it would be smart to give it a little more time to see if the ecoboost has longevity.

Let me know if you're near any Manheim auction sites. Ill take a look at their inventory. I bought 2 trucks from the Phoenix and Las Vegas sites last year.
