Well I thought it was time to update the thread. I put a deposit down on an 06 Duramax, if it passes 3rd party inspection it'll be headed my way. One owner (confirmed both by Auto Check and Carfax) just under 140K miles LT3 package, way fancier than I needed but the only truck I was able to get under LTV. Almost broke down and bought a 2013 Ram 2500 with 110K on it for $15K more locally, man it was tough to find anything under $40K once I got 2011 or newer and under 100K miles.
I found the truck in Flint Michigan of all places, paid an extra $350 to have a 3rd party inspection done on it with fluid analysis. If that all passes then I need to find a shipper to have it delivered or a cheap flight to Flint and drive like hell to get back to Colorado. First time I have ever tried to purchase a vehicle off the web, can't tell you how nervous it makes me.
