^x2 That would be a great idea because the resale value on that truck would be almost nothing. Its neat but talking someone into actually buying it would be a different story.

Although somebody who wanted to build a fast diesel for drag racing or sled pulling then this truck would be perfect since they would probably rebuild the engine, tranny, and drivetrain anyways, and they would just need a solid body and a nice platform to start with.

The dealership should pay to have it roll over to 1,000,001 and use it as a gimmick to get sales..

If I didnt pay for gas, I would do it in a heartbeat..... For a low fee of course.... (missing class isnt the best thing).... 250,000 miles? lets see, go from My house to California and back, about 64 round trips....

Thats awesome of him to take that nice of care of that truck. I own a 4runner thats at 850,000+km that I bought from the original owner at about 810,000km. Mine is a 3.0V6 SOHC on gasoline, no smoke, starts and runs smooth.

I've heard nothing but good things about the duramax's. They will go forever. Another reason why I love Chevy trucks
