i currently own a ram 1500, but im looking to buy a 02 or newer duramax, and joined here to find out what to look out for, (i.e. "53" block problem with the cummins) i wanna know what to watch out for before i spend $20k+ on a truck. also no im not getting rid of the ram, i plan on buying the duramax as a second vehicle.

im also looking to find out what the differences in model codes are from the lt to the ls. i search the site before i joined, and turned up no results. any info will be greatly appreciated.

also if anyone here in fl has done buisness with gibson, nations or knights truck centers i would like more info on them as well.

hopefully with the help of everyone here ill be the proud new owner of a duramax in a month or 2

Welcome aboard! I'm not quite sure how to answer your question but I would recommend posting it in one of the tech sub-forums. You'll be more likely to get a good response.

Welcome aboard, yes the layout is a bit different but actually more user friendly i have found over other forums that is once you have got an idea of what your looking at.

Welcome!!

I hope you were able to find a place to post your questions. Just in case you weren't, I pasted a link below that will get you there. The reason why you'll probably find more suggestions/recommendations there is because many of those experts don't alway check the member introductions on a regular basis.
