If you use the GM VIS system, (you need to have acces thru a dealer) It can tell you any work that has ever been done under warranty, where the vehicle was originally sold, the vehicle build sheet, if it has a branded title.. all kinds of info.. Im bettin there is something fishy with this...

Remove all Advertisements haha ya im aware that that is the reason for the price. but their prices have been pretty high on there nicer vehicles like this one lately. not all but alot of them. this just may be my luck of the draw nd be a good deal!

What are the issues with the edge? I know that they make lots...

Something odd about that deal. 05's with 100K miles are doing $20K or more online everywhere....unless this thing is pink with 14" tires and burlap interior I'd really be careful. Check the title for salvage/rebuilt and try to get the history on it from a GM dealer. While there is a chance it's just a great deal...I'd be suspicious. good luck

An 05 duramax around here runs $25k+. That is a great deal even if it has been worked

The 05's had some issues with overheating. Not all had the problem but many did. There are plenty of things that can be done to help this, most were getting more air through the radiator. Other than that they were pretty bulletproof. I traded mine in on an 08 when it had 80K miles and I never had any problems with it. In the cold it always started right up and ran great. CoKTM

holy shit that cheap for that truck, good thing i already bought one this summer..where ya at in SD
