  Duramax 4x4 - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Toyaholic - May 4 - 1:03 pm

  The Duramax is quiet, smooth and powerful. 0-60 times that will make most cars see your tail lights. The interior of the LTZ is all luxury, void of squeaks and rattles on the roughest roads. The Bose 6 disk is very impressive for a factory system using a center placed subwoofer and 6 speakers. Smoother, stronger and better mileage than the 6.0L 2005 2500HD it replaced.

  Gas is out. Diesels in! - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Diesel Convert - July 6 - 6:40 pm

  Ive been studying diesels for a few years now. Wanted one in a 2005 Liberty, wife at the time didnt. Finally bought what I wanted after the divorce. Went from two vehicles to one, so this is a daily driver and the only viable daily driver amongst the big three IMO. I get 14 mpg city A/C on (with lots of idling and sitting at lights), 19.5 highway (70 to 75 mph). Not bad for a vehicle that weighs this much and can tow 15,400 lbs. Cant imagine feeding the old gas big block! Ride is a little rough on bad roads because of the heavy duty nature. Im researching how to change that (airbags, different springs/shocks). With a load, its perfect.

  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.

  New believer - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Towing 4 a living - July 22 - 7:20 pm

  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.

  Great Truck - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Joe - November 20 - 5:53 am

  I have always been a Ford guy, but when shopping for the F250 versus Silverado 2500, I thought the Chevy had a better ride, a nicer interior, a the dealer was very aggressive in terms of pricing. Mileage has been OK so far, well within my expectations. Also, very pleased with the looks of the truck.
