I have an 08 Duramax. The regen's are a pain in the rear. About once every two weeks i take it out on the highway for a good 20-30 minute drive to burn the DPF out. Fuel economy is crap, but i don't care since i can now tow my camper with the cruise control on. Couldn't do that with my 09 with the 6.0.
I have the same truck for almost 50000 miles and couldn't even tell you when a regen is happening. Fuel economy is******in town, but 17-18 on back roads and 18-19 on highway, 11-12 towing. Have not seen any "high maintenance cost" that I read about.
I drive 1.5 miles to work but I have an old junker for that.
Beyond wonderful towing with that Duramax!
