I highly doubt that $11k number. The 6.6 Duramax is only about $8k and that includes the tranny upgrade. I bet the actual cost will be more like $4000 or maybe $5000. that is still a lot of money to only save maybe $400-500 a year in fuel but the resale would also be higher so who knows what the net savings would be.
the height thing doesn't bother me much since I am 6'5" but it is nearly manditory to get the tailgate step and sissy bar to get up into the back of it.
