anyone with any info. ?

They advertise 60 horses and 120 lb ft and guaranteed 3 mpg. Anyone have experience with this setup? www.gmsdieselpower.com

I've read that a flat spot is created, and the drone is not pleasant.

My first '06 would clatter (dmf) in those conditions, then the clutch pedal would go almost to the floor and not come up but maybe an inch or two for the next couple shifts, then it was fine again. I thought I was going to be stranded in a brand new truck the first copule times it happened. I...

The idle feature can be enabled on both automatic and standard transmission '06 trucks. It will however, work only on the automatic. To be made fully operational on the standard transmission truck, a clutch switch is needed. My dealer told me it was to have been released by the manufacturer on...

You'd know if you had the long cranking problem. The engine would take 5 - 10 seconds to start and it would feel like it was going to jump out of the truck. I just traded my '06 3500 quad cab 4x4 6spd purchased last november (for tax purposes) on an identical '06 truck. The build date on the...

No exhaust brake. This noise came from the transmission area, and the shifter vibrated at the same time. Kinda scary coming from a new transmission.

... I've put the required 500 miles on my new truck prior to pulling my trailer. Today, on the highway in 6th gear I heard a slight "squealing" noise (best I can describe it) and a vibration in the gear shifter at the same time. It did it twice on accelaration and once while coasting in 6th...

I currently own an '06 quad cab long box 4x4 with a 6spd. I've had it for 6 months and have just over 23k miles. In that time I've averaged 14mpg pulling an enclosed 24' trailer about 60% to 70% of the time. For my '06 taxes, I'm considering trading my truck for another '06 before I...

I've got a little over 15k miles on my '06 (long bed 4dr 4x4). I use the truck for work, and tow a 24' enclosed trailer daily. I bought the truck in late Nov. , '05 so I'm averaging 5k miles a month. The trailer weighs almost 5k lbs empty and can weigh as much as 10K lbs when fully loaded. I...

What a pic! Those are the smallest hands I've ever seen on a grown man :-laf

Does anyone have any mileage differences to report (good or bad). My truck is used for work, and it does the long cranking time/ white smoke thing about 4 or 5 times a day pretty consistently. Haven't had time to take it in yet, and I'm curious about any mpg differences.
