My new hauler DURAMAX

[jigolbeep]

Decided it was time for a better hauler to pull my trailer around. Found a super clean 2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd 4x4 Duramax. It should pull a trailer full of bikes like there is nothing there. I cant leave anything stock so for now im ordering a Diablo Predator programer and a 4 inch turbo back MBRP exhaust. Here are some pics enjoy!

beautiful...i love diesel trucks especially that 6 liter duramax :drool5c:...great looking truck....mods can you move this into the 4x4 truck section

[Ajmboy]

Nice Truck! It does look very clean. How much did you pay?

[Sc0tt]

Let me know about the exhaust I have been looking at those. Good looking truck.

[jigolbeep]

i paid $19,900 for it with a full tank of diesel, its as clean as a new one. I have the window sticker and it sold for $41,000 when it was new.

I just ordered an exhaust like this one but i got mine of ebay a lot cheaper.

MBRP Installer Series Aluminized 4" Single Duramax Exhaust System (Turbo-Back)

there is a video clip towards the middle, sounds awesome.

Im still undecided on a programer so im researching more. Anyone have any imput on programers???

Same here, I recently bought THE BEAST, and it's only getting 10.8 MPG.....either something's wrong, or I need a chip and a couple other mods to keep the towing power, but increase the MPG.

As for the details, 08 F-450 SD. 6.4 Liter Detroit (Dual) Turbo Diesel V8.

Everybody around here who owns a diesel, owns a programer.

a buddy of mine that i work with has the same truck as this one and he gets from 16-18 all the time and sometimes even better on long trips.. im not worried about gas mileage, just want a little more power..

[joet82]

I'd like more gas mileage, one cause it's easier on the wallet, and 2 I plan on taking a few road trips once I get the RV my truck will be towing, and I'll have that in about 3 days.

[jigolbeep]

ya i hear ya... u getting a toyhauler or what?? Once i get my truck get partially paid off and my funds are back where they need to be im planning to buy an enclosed trailer... I would like to find a 8.5x20 or 24 and make it into kind of a toyhauler trailer..

[joet82]

yup, I only looked at a toy hauler. and it had to have a seperate garage as well. 39 foot 5th wheel. plenty of room to live.

The Ford Powerstroke diesel engines are made by Navistar (International), not Detroit. The old GM 6.5 Liter diesels were made by Detroit, as far as I know, that is the last Detroit diesel engine offered in a pickup.

Well, thanks Mr Smarty Pants for playing the one-up game. haha

[DirtDemon]

That's what I am here for, I need to find some way to use all the useless information that has logded itself in my brain. That is a nice truck though, that thing should be able to tow a 747 if you wanted to.

[joet82]

ya, found out today that some jackass, when he cut off the plug for the trailers power on my tow package, they clipped it off (yes cut it), ABOVE the coupler so that now, I not only have to buy a new 7 prong plug, but also a coupler and splice it back together....gladly I'm taking it in for 5th Wheel work tomorrow so I'm sure they will fix the situation.
