2015 Duramax Vs 2016 Duramax ?
What is everyone hearing about upcoming changes. Time for a new truck and want to know if I should go with a 15, or wait for the 16's?

Are they really going to a 60k warranty? That sucks, maybe i should go find a last minute 2015. I hear the 2017 duramax is getting some big fuel system changes. Even higher voltage piezo injectors and rail pressures.

The 2016 is expected to build 450-500 hp with 855-900 ft/lb torque.
The 2015 is 370hp with 765ft/lb torque.

I traded my 13 in for the 15, 4 months ago, I already have 42K miles. on the new one. The 15 is night and day different over the 13. It pull everything great (power wise) and I am getting 8.5-11.5 when pulling, depending on the type and size of boat, and generally 17.8-18.2 when empty.
The warranty is just numbers. The bumper to bumper has always been 36K so you would want to buy the extended warranty anyways, the only real difference is how many miles vs how many years, I went with 150K miles, 24 months. It was less cost than the 125K miles 5 years.
The power of the truck has never been an issue in my opinion, but the trucks need larger brakes and air ride suspension to bring them to the next level. Take the 3500 and make it a 4500 or 5500 with the bigger breaks would be a HUGE upgrade to me! "They" keep saying it is coming, but so far..... Nothing...
I do miss my Kodiaks!

I put 110K on my '08 without a single problem (knock on wood). I also have 100K on my 6" Fabtech Lift Kit with no issues other than 2 destroyed u-joints. I did drive the '15 and was impressed with the power and the refinement of the truck. The cab is so quiet you can't even tell you're in a diesel!

Yeah since Ford has a 60K powertrain warranty they simply matched their competitor.
