  SOLD IT AFTER A YEAR. NOT WORTH THE $$$$ - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Towing 4 a living - February 14 - 8:56 pm

  NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Was not happy with the following; the interior started rattling, air draft on driver side door which the dealer couldnt fix, terrible fuel economy, recall and RANCHO MTRS. in Victorville has poor customer service. So does the Chevy Hotline. I sold mine. Still got my 5.9 Dodge Ram 2500. DONT BUY THE NEW CHEVY.

  Best Truck Out - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Michael - December 13 - 7:13 am

  My first Chevy was a 3/4 ton Scottsdale bought new in 1979 and sold in 1995 so I keep a good truck. This is a keeper. I tow a 8000lb travel trailer and this think tows it like a tank and I love it.

  Best Diesel on the Market - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Brandon - July 25 - 5:36 am

  I have had my Silverado for over a year now with no problems to report. The Duramax/Allison is an absolutely amazing combination, leaves the competition in the dust. My only complaint was the small wheels and tires from the factory. Overall, an excellent built truck period.

  Junk bed - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By straight working - January 15 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned my duramax 2500 since sept. 2008, I use it for work which it has a 110 gallon fuel tank and a weather guard saddle tool box. In one year of use the bed is pushing out and cracking along the sides at the end of the tool box. Ive own two Dodge 2500s and never had the problem, dealer states the problem as having to much weight. I think Chevy needs to build a better bed for the 2500s for guys who use their trucks for work. Also took the truck in three times to have interior tighten up do to rattles. Otherwise truck is not bad for pulling trailers and cruising around, dont put anything on bed rails!!!

  2008 chevy 2500 hd - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By beikegm - January 9 - 7:21 am

  Major disappointment. Transmission problems since day one, door lock actuators fail repeatedly, overheats when pulling a trailer. Had rims and chrome trim replaced from corrosion, and its doing it again! gm wont replace it a second time. Trying to trade it off but cant find a dealer who will give me anything for it. Learned my lesson after 20 years of being a gm only owner its time to change.

  Love my truck, hate fuel mileage - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By chad smith - September 29 - 2:00 am

  I love my new diesel. Plenty of power no need for aftermarket chips. Rides great. Looks great. Pulls great, but the fuel mileage is terrible. 13 mpg is the best I get. It has been four months now. I have 15,000 miles on it and cannot get any better mileage. With the price of fuel ($4.15) it hurts when you pull up to the pump

  Got the 6.6 Duramax diesel with the Alison 6 speed. Rated #1 for 08. Tows like a champ, Plenty of power. LT2 package, rear differential locker, Bose speaker package, OnStar, XM radio. I added a spray in bedliner and sliding 5th hitch too. My opinion is that Chevy is far superior to Dodge Cummins 5.9L. Go get one.

  Best GM Product to Date - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By rseebo - July 1 - 8:33 am

  I was skeptical in getting another GM product as the prior 3 were trash. I had an 05 2500 Diesel that would do nothing but overheat while pulling my toyhauler and the dealer said there were no issues. I pulled this same trailer from Cali to Ga. loaded down with 13k + lbs and the only thing that was bad about it was my tires wore down after 20k miles. This truck pulls like a dream and has no mechanical issues at all!!! 18 - 19 mpg on hwy and 11 mpg while towing with 1 size up on stock tires, could be a little better. If I had to have a complaint it would be that you cant put an 18" wheel with a 285 tire under the front end without shaving the wheel wells.

  Theres nothing better for me. - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By McLovin It! - June 14 - 11:43 am

  I upgraded from a 2003 Chevy 1500 Z71 package. Im towing a lot more now and I needed something with a little more umph. This truck has it. I thought about the diesel for this truck but I opted for the 6.0 because you never know when the prices are going to sky rocket again.
