GM 3.0L Duramax Selling Rate

[BoostN]

Great insight to how well people are buying the half-ton Duramax. I'd be interested to see how these numbers line up with Ram and Ford.

According to the Director of Chevrolet Truck Marketing, Bob Krapes, who recently spoke with GM Authority Executive Editor Alex Luft, the take rate for the Chevy Silverado diesel 1500 varies between 10 and 14 percent, depending on the month.

That is good news. I run my trucks to the grave. This will allow parts to be available at the parts counter and junk yards for a long while.

with both diesel engines and in line six cylinder designs adding to longevity even with the high rail pressure they could go a million miles if cared for and people who join websites typically care for their trucks. My ex boss drives a stock '49 Chevy with a gas inline six that outlasted his father and looks to outlast him so who's grave are we driving into? Be careful if its a GMC it may turn around and drive right back out

I owned my 96 Sierra with the old 6.5 for 18 years or so. Only sold it after I bought the 21 Silverado. I didn’t know much about the new 3.0 but stumbled on the only new truck on the lot, half ton with a Duramax! Drove it home that day. Hopefully I have it for a few decades too.
