GMT800 vs GMT900

[drperry]

I'm considering upgrading to a 2500/3500, both for towing and the 8 foot box...

Other than the DPF/Emissions, are there any major differences?

I'll be going with either an Silverado Classic, or a 2007.5 GMT900.

What things should I be looking for when it comes to issues?

I can only compare mine to a 2001 2500HD extended cab 8' and its a pretty significant different. The newer 6.0 runs much better even with the nanny and the six speed transmission, although it shifts a lot its more fun to drive. I can't really say this truck gets any better mileage though. I've always gotten between 10-13 MPG.

If you're in the market for a Duramax then disregard all I just said.

I knew I forgot something

If I do make the switch, it'll be to a dirtymax.
I have a 6 speed I can put in my truck... But if I do, I'll have to keep it until the end of days

Input is still appreciated
If I do have to settle for a gas job, it's definitely going to be a GMT900

No experience using either one of them here...

There are no issues. Buy one.

What about differences in the engine?

And I'm looking... 2WD is hard to find.

Forget 2wd you are insane!

The differences are obvious. DPF vs non DPF watch for tuned or bypassed emissions on them

What's wrong with 2WD?

I knew about DPF vs no DPF, I wasn't sure if there was anything else...

I'd get a DPF delete anyway, lol

2wd = fail.

Who in their right mind would drive a 2wd truck???
