Jeremiah,
In late 2006, I stopped at a local Chevy dealer and test drove a 2500HD diesel. I purchased the Silverado in my sig a week later.
We live at 35' ASL and tow up into the High Sierra to CG's located at 6000'-7000' ASL. We used to struggle up the grades when we towed a 6K# TT with a gas 5.3L. Now I travel up the same grades effortlessly with my diesel towing our 10K# 5er. Big difference! I can even pull out and easily pass a Prius that is struggling up a grade. :B
