I've had 2 Chevy 3500 Silverado (Diesel) duly's and both were great truck.
Why did we trade the first one though? It had a fiberglass body, and was beginning to get bad spider cracks in the fat fenders. To replace would have cost about $4000 a side as each side is one entire piece. Then the bottoms of the doors were rusting out, and my local body shop said it wasn't worth putting a band aid on a broken bone. The rust was coming from inside the doors. The only option was to replace the doors.
We decided to go with a brand new one, instead of used. We got $18,000 value for trade in on it though. We only paid $25,000 used. It had just slightly over 100,000 miles on it. But the towing ability and engine were magnificent on that first diesel. We've had the second diesel duly now for 3 years now, and it's marvelous. Metal body, have had absolutely NO problems with it. Only oil and air filter changes.
My experience has been positive with the Chevy Silverado.
