10 Para (Qld)
Well bit the bullet and chose the GMC 2500HD Durmax Diesel over the Chev due only to the high bonnet on the Chev " handbrake" could not see over it" any way it will be ready for when we get home form NZ at Xmas and something for me to play with over Xmas before we go back to NZ, will still keep the Patrol could not bear to part with it when it comes home from NZ next year we will strip some of the Aussie stuff of and send it back just to fish with.
Anu body got a GMC or Chev and would like to enlighten me it would be most appreciated " my first diesel for a long time"
Regards!MPG:10!

had not seen them great shots, they tell me that you can add LPG mix to the diesel and get about 25% more power if you shoud ever want it i had a good hour in one in NZ and also another drive the other day here and had trouble keeping the rear wheel on the ground will be ok when you get a load on.

Hi Adamj1300, have been looking all over the states for one and no such luck maybe they are just used for towing the big 5 wheelers over there.
