Duramax?

I've been looking at buying a new truck, and all I can really find are Duramax trucks. I've never owned a diesel before, so I was wondering if you guys could tell me what to watch out for with these engines. I've heard that they have injector problems, but I heard that from a Dodge guy.

I'm also curious about winter care. I live in Nebraska, and it can get pretty cold. It was never above 30 in December. A lot of the time it never got over 10 degrees. What would I need to do to prevent gelling? Do these engines cold start very well?

Like I said, I've never owned a diesel, and I could use any advice or thoughts that anyone can give. Thanks guys.
