depends on what year you're looking at
check www.dieselplace.com/

the 2001-2004.5 (LB7 motor) has the fuel injectors internal to the valve covers. this is a problem because the injectors crack and the seals fail causing diesel to leak into the lower half of the engine. the good news is chevy somewhat admits a problem and has extended the injector warranty to 200k miles. Otherwise it's about $4000 to have a set of injectors replaced, yea, 4 grand. ouch.

the 2004.5-2005 (LLY motor) has external injectors and evidently that problem has been corrected. they tend to overheat however
