Chevy Silverados aren't that great, the transmission to cooler lines leak oil, they're crimped pot metal to rubber, they use Chinese hubs and they go out in 50K or less and you ahve to buy Timkens or they sell you Chinese ones again. I have a 2006 Duramax and it has cost me $3000 in repairs. Chevy won't stand behind them either. They blame the owner for everything and bill him for warrranty work including the fact that the glowplugs corroded at 41000 miles and they would'nt replace them, $940.00 worth and they were a recall item.
That's why one should look very closely when buying a diesel. The repairs are very,very expensive. You can go over on the Ford boards and read how Ford is denying warranty coverage on some issues on their diesel trucks as well.
