Default WTB Duramax

So I've been looking for a duramax truck for months now and can't seem to find one I like. I spotted one in Colorado a couple weeks ago but someone bought it before I could.

Things I want:

Regular cab
LBZ
Allison 6 speed
4wd
anything but red or green (might make exception for very nice red truck, but **** green)

Things I don't want:

Rust
Torn up interior or exterior
Modified stuff....must be all stock.


Not looking to get back into the truck game...Just want to get into a nice reliable diesel that can haul or tow whatever I want. Doesn't matter where in the US it is...I will come get it if I like it. Dealer or private owner, doesn't matter to me. If you know of anything that I might like, please post up!

No kidding. I'd expand my search for an LMM if the mileage didn't get hit hard by the dpf. I want to keep it legal and get more than 12mpg lol.

Also just saw one in California that had the 6 speed ZF6 manual trans....bastard was gone in less than 24 hours! Gotta be quick on my feet if I want to snag one of these I guess...

Serious question, how much are you wanting to spend. Dad has one with about 10k miles with exhaust and a programmer (within the last 500 miles), but has everything to return it to stock. But, he loves the truck and wouldn't part with it if the price isn't right.

Why would he sell it anyway if he loves the truck? I could justify spending up to 20k for a really nice truck. An 06-07 with 10k miles would he worth substantially more than that though. PM me if you want to talk more about it.

I have a guy near me with a very clean truck that is somewhat near stock. Has a lift and wheels. Had a eco tune on it, but nothing serious. Very mild and very clean.

Looking for bone stock, honestly. A lift is something I'd have to remove.
