There are diesels and there are Duramaxes. The rattely diesels are found in Fords and Dodges. The Duramax is found in Chevys and GMC's. Expect over 20MPG highway and a "quiet" engine. And, Duramax DOES NOT SMOKE, except a little on startup. Unfortunately, it does have the awful smell of diesel but not in the cab. If you are considering a diesel, research the Duramax with the Allison transmission. It sold me and I have been a lifetime Ford fan. No more. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Is "rattely" a word? Maybe it's "rattley" or "rattle-y". Or maybe you spell it "Dodge"! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There must be some Duramax owners on the forum. Post your opinion which I know will be positive. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I hope I can still afford to drive it after all the hurricane mess. I just filled up the 25 gallon tank for $67.48 and they didn't even clean my windshield! <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I have bought used cars in the distant past for less than that. I once had a Ford Model A coupe with rumble seat that I used for fishing. Paid $25 and that was after haggling! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
