i looked at a duramax,

i also looked a 6.0 2500...but doing the math, theres no way im shelling out 800 bucks a month for a damn truck

so i ended up keeping my payments around the same, but also got the GM 100k powertrain warranty, and a 3 year 75k GM warranty on everything else

all in all, im alot happier. still no pics since its been really crappy out and ive been working late

Congrats man!
5.3 is a great engine. My mom has it in her suburban and she gets ~14mpg around town so you might get a little better.
