2012 Silverado 2500 with 6.0 and 6 speed auto
Anyone have a Chevy/GMC 2500 from this era?
Looking at one with less than 90k miles. Plain jane with no carpet (which is what I would want for a work truck) just rubber floor mat. Decent condition. Did some searches on this engine (L96) and apparently it is not prone to major issues. Any personal experience?

Lynn, I do have experience with GM 2500 trucks, having towed my car trailer with both DuraMax and 6.0 gas.
As said the 6.0 is a solid dependable engine, But, If you plan on doing any towing, especially any distance, hook it up and try it out. Being tactful, you may not find the 6.0 up to the task. (constant downshifting) |

Biggest issue for me is I don't know how to work on diesels. Too old to learn. Even if i did, I can't stand the smell.
And, I hate farming out repairs.

I have used my AWD Denali for towing with the previous gen 6.0. About a 35 hp bump on the newer ones.
