New diesel owner

[Bill Robinson]

Sorry I don't have a picture yet. I'm not brand new.
I purchased a used 2006 Duramax SLT with 89,000 Miles January 2012. I pull a light 5th Wheel camper. The 1/2 ton Chevy I had was really working hard so I decided to go diesel.. I also occasionally pull a trailer loaded with a 5,000 pound tractor. The Duramax handles it like it isn't even there.
I see there is more to know with the Diesel so I am hoping this site can help me through the learning curve

Welcome to the board! I imagine you were surprised a bit with the towing ability of the Duramax.

Yeah I remember towing my GTO as the first try a towing anything and thinking the truck really settled down to a more comfortable driving feel. It is like I need to be towing something or the truck is just not happy with the road.;)

My learning curve is more about going from small (90hp VW TDI) to big honking beast. Even though both seem to share the same 2k RPM sweet spot.:cool:
