First impressions so far, the Duramax is fast. My 7.3 is crazy fast.

Oh well, maybe after the warranty expires.

First things to get:
Bed cap/topper
Running boards so Mrs TG has an easier entry/exit.
Undercoating/ paint sealant. ( A must for the U.P. enviroment)

You will get past your warranty period soon enough. Just enjoy it for now. There is something to be said for a stock truck.

Nice truck. I would do the undercoating first. It is almost salt season. How do you like the ride?

Smoother than my F-250. But I have some extra heavy duty springs on the back on the F-250 that make it ride a bit rough. I had them put on when the factory ones started breaking leafs. The GMC is still a bit rough, but it's as empty as it gets. A little bit of a load may let the suspension work.

The GMC is very quiet. The driver position seems to be a bit higher above the road surface, giving you a feeling that you're going slower than the speedometer indicates.

I gotta read the owner's manual and figure out stuff like the factory exhaust brake operation and the manual shifting mode of the Allison transmission.
