Living with the duramax vs the 6.0L?

[95 S_Trucker]

Ford And Dodge/Ram both use solid axles on their 4wd models. The GM IFS rides a lot better.

As far a gas or dieses, It depends on what your intension are with the truck. If you tow a lot of weight frequently, I would go for the diesel.

I have a 6.0 truck, and I tow 8000-10,000 pounds once a month. The truck will do it, but its under powered on steep hills.

The duramax trucks in this era are all 17+ years old. Don't be surprised when injectors/pump/turbocharger need to be replaced. Its big money if you have a shop do it.
