Hey everyone, I just sold my '04 Chevy Duramax 2500, and, though it was a powerful truck and a joy to drive, it had those dang injector problems. Now I'm looking for a new diesel, and would like to get your guys' input.

I'd like to spend between $20-$30K in California, and am looking for a Dodge, GMC, or another Chevy diesel 2500 4x4. I'll be using it to tow a 5th wheel mostly, some other light trailer towing, and for other general truck use.

What year/makes/models have you guys had good experience with? Any that I should specifically avoid?

Thanks for any input!

02-03 F series with the 7.3 engine or bulletproofed 6.0 in the 05-07 years. I would avoid the 03 6.0 and any common rail set up.

You're looking at it. :winking:

Like RT said, I don't think you can go wrong with a Ford 02-03 7.3L.

Well, you're on a Ford forum so I'll wager you get a few Ford recommendations...
