i don’t think the alum heads wil be a problem. the duramax has used them since they begun. but the two cooling systems have me a little worried. im not sure which way to lean. is double the water pumps cause for more failure or will it be less taxing on each system? im guessing its a coin flip. time will tell. i currently have a 03 6.0 bought it new and have never had a problem with it (keeps fingures crossed).

I have one of those failed 6.0L after owning 2 trucks with a 7.3L with very few issues. My concern with the new 6.7L is, I read it will have alum. heads and 2 water pumps for 2 cooling systems (the EGR cooler & block) and a Urea injection system for exhaust emissions that will need to be serviced or refilled every 7500 miles. The first concern with the heads is a diesels high compression & alum.s ability to warp with the hot & cold. The second concern is cost of regular service cost added to the normal oil changes with the need to service the Urea system. The third is the cooling systems. To complicate the engine & systems is more likely to increase break-downs & expense to maintain. The new trucks are already sticker shock & with the current economy & having to cut or hold my current rates in my own business I can’t see how anyone can upgrade or would want to.
