My 04. 5 have been problem free for close to a year now, and Im still loving EVERY SINGLE minute of it.

We will wait and see how the G56 holds up. It has been used in Europe from what I have read and it is rated at a lower torque than the cummins puts out. Mostly has smaller engines in front of it. Basically, it was cost effective to drop the NV transmission since DC could use a in house unit.



Ya, no need for a FASS fuel system on the 3rd gen, no problems yet and I doubt there will be.



It is prob okay to run a edge ez box and that is it. The engine is already pumped up from the factory and has tighter toleances. We will see in 5 years how the motors with tighter specs are holding up to 12 and 24 valves of yester year...



Good luck,

I love my truck.



Over 1,500 towing miles in the first week of ownership, 9,000+ lb load, not a single hickup.

My unbiased opinion is the 305/555s are the "98 12v" of the 3Gs. Check TDR issue 46 and the previous 555 unbiased posts. :-laf



Been a sweet truck thus far, except the payment part.

I can only compare my old 94 and my new 04. I really miss the 94. wish I kept it for the 7k I got in trade. It would have made a very cool project full size wheeler. However, I REALLY enjoy my new truck. It is much more comfortable, and has great power. It handles everything I have thrown at it with no complaint. Hope it gives me the same service as my old truck.



I think anyone who takes extreme stands on any of these trucks regardless of year are kind of missing the point of the trucks and this forum.
