Ian,
I didnot have any overheating issues with my 05 dually, same with Larry. Maybe neither of us is a lead foot? or trying to pull at unreasonable speeds etc.
If you want to talk about overheaters, try the 6.5td from 95-97 with the auto trans. I had some issues with my NV4500, but not near the temps issues as those with the auto trans. I solved most of that issue with the post 97 cooling mods.
Of course this is not to say some or all of these did not have issues.....with the HP/torque a lot of the new motors are producing, an excellent cooling system is a must.

You can add my parents 05 Duramax to the list of non overheating issue. They had that truck for 10 years and pulled some pretty good mountains with their 5ver.
Although I'm not dismissing it as a problem in certain conditions, I think there's a bit of internet amplification going on here!
