    Cool Picked up a new 2015 Duramax for work

    With our old 2006 Duramax with over 194K miles on it having left me on I-75 once last summer and this summer, then not starting last Friday she was traded.

    It was the longest that we have ever kept a work or personal vehicle. One month shy of 9 years.

    Not the best picture do to the rain, I'll get a better on Friday when I tow the Mondo to Norris.





    I hope to have a relaxing tow since the kids are staying home no need for the Suburban.

    Nice Rig. I love my diesel but hate my monthly payment on it.

    I know this is one of the few that has a payment book on it. Wanted to wait till the other had 200K miles on it, but could not be trusted.

    I always think of diesels as longer-lasting than the gasoline counterparts. Is that generally true? I have two GMs with 210k miles that are still running great.

    I bought another even though I did not break 200k, I have known since about 70k miles in 2007 that an electronic issue would show up sometime. I was driving when it was struck by lighting, the put about $18k in parts and labor in it at that time.

    I've crossed 200k on our dmax.

    I think the diesel longevity holds true but the gas counterparts have come a long ways from 10-15 years ago.

    Great looking truck!

    Wow. Yep, I'd say that could cause some problems! Geesh
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    Here she is hooked to the Mondo.

    I averaged 12.1 mpg to and from Norris Lake this weekend.
