Don't get me wrong, I usually enjoy reading the dieselpage.com web site about Duramax's, but boy, it seems that a lot of the people over there work for, have worked for GM/Izzu/Duramax. If I didn't know better I would think that GM pays some of them to post/market their products. I guess it is free advertising about what they have to offer and why it is so superior to anything out there: What ever!

I will say, I like how our "experts" (TDR) when asked a tough question on why something breaks (DC/Cummins related) they answer it. Over there when the same question is fielded all the experts "clam up": Now if it is a rumor, the spin control Doctors are on like fly’s to *****

Like I mentioned before, I like reading the post over there and think most of the guys are pretty nice, but I glad it is not like that over here. Maybe over time that will go away because individuals will see through it?

Has anyone else noticed this?

On a side note: It must be nice to get a free pair of Rose-colored glasses with every GM/Duramax purchase
