I don't know what year GM started putting the duramax diesel in there trucks but if it does not have the duramax DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The diesel engines GM put in there trucks prior to the duramax were absolute junk,I think they were some sort of converted small block gas engine.real garbage
