Not so sure about that. When I was at the dealer getting my trans problem fixed the sevice manager said they had their first million mile duramax come in. They had to reset the odometer to 5 miles because the computer didn't know how to deal with a million miles. I believe he said the truck has had 3 transmissions, 2 sets of head gaskets and 16 injectors. I am sure other small parts went too. He said it was a woman that pulled campers for a living. It was an 06 model.

I read an article about that truck over on full size chevy. If it’s the truck im thinking about the woman hauled some kind of relief trailers after hurricane Katrina. Then went privet and pulled trailers for a company.

I saw that thread too. Everybody seems to love those lights. I will have to give them a try some time.

I just read that article about the million mile duramax. Really hard to believe that the transfer case and trans went 850,000 miles. Also nothing is said about the head gaskets. The guy at the dealer said it had 2 sets of head gaskets put on it.


Anyway got my fender painted this weekend. Our puller is broke down so I got some time to do it. Not the ideal way to paint it on the truck but I only had the weekend to do it.

Darth Dually is back and maybe a little better than before. I know I can see way better than before. I need to put the flare back on too. I want the paint to cure some before I stick it back on.

The spotlight is a mod I have been wanting to do for awhile now. I use it to see sprinklers at night and any other time you need light. Once you have one you will always have one. It is a unity spotlight that I got off ebay. I got the mount right from unity in chicago. I converted it to hid and it is bright I will show it a little more when I take it off to paint it.

Just got my door handles smoked. Should have them on in a day or two.

I love them at night. Way better than standard lights. I still use my high beams though. The fogs in this generation of truck really don't do much, but now with the hid's in them they are awesome.
