Yep, that's the 24v. They are a little bit louder idling than the 12v.

I used to talk like this about the GM's.....about 2 years ago. The GM HD Duramax trucks have prooved mighty capable of doing the jobs that Ford and Dodge diesels had been doing for many years prior. I have seen IFS problems as mentioned above, but nowhere near what straight axle guys predicted. It's a stout suspension and it rides very well. There are a heck of a lot of farmers that would show you that it CAN do "real" work just as well as the others.
So Lee in Ottawa (sounds like a Jim Rome "clone" lol) Don't scratch any of the 3 diesels off your list.
