Well, being a long time GM guy, and working at GM for a long time I get to see all the bad ones, when we were in the market for a new to us TV I knew of only one duramax I would settle for, that would be an LBZ, only comes in the 06-07.5 I, and many others believe this to be the best years for a duramax, 6 speed trans. No DEF, easy hook up of the factory exhaust brake, works VERY well. We got ours with 130,000 miles on it, will take my chances on any major breakdowns, so far it has been a great truck. I agree with many, test drive them all, but don't rule out one with mileage on it, I would be very confident that any GM, FORD, DODGE, during the GOOD years for them would run a very long time. Just gotta know what years and combinations are the GOOD years! Good luck!
