My co-worker has one of those .. is your's the quad cab? Those things have some serious room inside!! And they're not at all noisy for what a diesel usually is. I was impressed with it.
I myself drive a 1990 Mazda B2200 regular cab short box. 198,000km and still smiling!!

there's pics in my album.

going down the road its as quiet as a gas motor, I don't have to shut the engine down at the drive thru, it's very quiet for a deisel.

wallstreet- Spining the tires isnt the phrase for it. I didnt mention that the camino, is on a 4 wheel drive frame, with 34 inch tires. The 4-wheel drive works too. IM not sure about the lift kit in it ( the guy never told me), but shes hi.

Pretty cool, my dad has your NEMESIS. He's got a 4X4 Ranchero built for wheel'in. It's got a 460, a NP435 transmission, a NP205 transfer case, and dual Dana 60's with Detroit Lockers riding on 33X16.5X16.5 Dick Cepek Fun Country's.

And about the snowplow...that's complete BS...My neighbour drives the same truck I do, except his is a base model 2500HD duramax, and he has a snowplow business. Not a single problem anywhere, he says it's the best truck he's ever plowed with, not to mention his company has a few SuperDutys (a V10 and a Powerstroke).
Sorry, try again.

It is a fact, check out some TSBs if you don't believe me, that 01 HD GMs had bigtime reliability issues with snowplow use, balljoints and power steering equipment are the big problems. This has been addressed by some changes in the "snowplow package" now, but the damage had already been done with many plowtruck operators. Heck, you see more brand new 1/2 ton Fords with plows around here than HD GMs now! Just look at the size of the plows offered by BOSS or Western for the HD GMs compared to SD Fords. They're 6-8" narrower! Wonder why that is?
It's too bad, the nicest truck I've ever driven was a '01 HD Chevy with the 6.0 and loaded to the gills with options, black leather, heated seats, even had ONSTAR!!
Also, the V10 Fords are turds, even the Dodge V10 is a turd compared to the oil burners.
Edit: Nice site TyreSpinner!

Playing frisbee in the cab of the new Dodge...not quite. It's ONLY down fall, if you want to call it that, is the rear isn't as large as the Ford or Chevy. I like the shorter wheelbase though. My wife rides around in the back taking care of the 'lil one and she's never complained, and she's 5'10"; likes the room much better than the '01 Chevy ext. cab we had before.
The new Cummins is VERY quiet....looking at a nice 4" syestem to give it a little more growl to it.
