    diesel guy, new here.

    hey guys just signed up. i drive a d max, but im a fan of the ls platform engines and a diehard gm fan so i signed up to stay educated on all of gms current engines i guess. originally i was going to buy a 6.0 but i couldn't find any in a half ton in my price range, i figured i couldn't afford the d-max but i found one for 8k so i went that route.

    edit: i cant get my sig to work on this forum! why cant i just put an img code in the text part.

    it was a total beat up work truck when i got it though, thats why it was cheap. i think the main reason was the fuel rail leaked and the guy probably thought it would be an expensive repair. the end plug was just loose lol.

    Looks nice we have a d-max we use with our business to haul a flatbed gooseneck and it is the definition of abused. LOL

    yea neither do i, but it was funny at the time when i got the truck and it just stuck... i dont know if they mean like the food item or like the dog, i guess it kinda looks like the dog, lot of body (bed) and a little head (cab) ? i dont know...

    It's a stretch but, like you said, just go with it.
