    Will this double as a winter vehicle? LBZ is a good motor but will the maintenance be worth while? If you plan on keeping it for a long time then yes or you plan on 300+ mi trips for parts cars. If its just gonna sit around and be used just for towing I'd just stick with a gas truck.

    Yes id like to double it as a winter vehicle. Id keep it for awhile until 1. I dont need a truck anymore. Or 2. I want an upgrade. Ultimately id be picking up a few cars all throughout the US. I have a buddy who is both a BMW and Diesel mechanic who can help me with stuff that needs to be done on it. So he wont rob me blind.

      I know nothing about them besides thats the first "good" generation of Duramax. If he has the tools to work on it that certainly makes things easier and more affordable. Also don't even consider local trucks, make a road trip out of it and buy a southern truck. You'll come out far ahead.

        Definitely. Needs to be rust free, stock, and under 200k miles. My buddy told me its the best Duramax until you get to the brand new ones. Im looking for a smaller truck that can tow a good amount so an extended cab short bed would be perfect.

          A longer wheel base is going to tow a lot better if you have the space to keep it. ECLB's are more common too.

                    Does it have Bluetooth? You can connect a console controller that way.

                        Noo. Don't use a controller on PC! Get practice with the keyboard and mouse! You'll be more accurate. Once you go against someone with a mouse you'll get destroyed.  Don't forget there isn't any aim assist on PC with controllers!

                                  a lot of the game is trash. but i prefer a simple shooter, so i've stuck with it. anything with future weapons, special god-like abilities, power ups, jet packs, etc etc, I just dont enjoy. the more tactical it is and the less SHIT EXPLODING EVERYWHERE MAYHEM it is, the better.

                                  battle royale has been a great change to the normal deathmatch style of the past. its never been so satisfying to win due to the increased challenge.

                                        I agree. If they ever fix the cluncky 1st person I definitely will be returning
