I need to tell you something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and ( just know that you are listening to a hypocrite telling you these things I'm about to tell you; I don't honor them always as I should ) I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- I speak for all who are children of God through faith in Jesus the Christ and His gospel, which can be thought of as being the story of Jesus's life, His purposes for being sent, and what He accomplished to win our salvation: now receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt of justice to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); we all are sinners and by default are due for the judgement of our sin, but with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with the work of Christ's life, the death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this salvation of ours (the believers) to be won for us: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and claiming to yourself or to others "I believe it" with your mouth, and doesn't cause you to live according to the life Christ set out for us; but this rather is a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him ( Jesus and His finished work ) as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved, that through Him, you'll be pardoned from the Judgement of your Sins by God, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and you be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your new knowledge of the truth, the truth that sets you free ) and be saved! Now, being a believer is not wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car or reposting some Christian meme on your phone; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christian, but they're living a lie, and that's scary. Faith without works is dead, and although we are saved by faith alone, the faith that SAVES is NEVER alone; thats like claiming you trust someone to catch you, but you won't do the trust fall to let them catch you; now if you believe Jesus, live according to the life he set out for us. ( we won't be perfect at it though ). Upon believing, once God marks you as His Own with the presence of the Holy Spirit ( the Spirit and power of God) in your heart, which will dwell within you!, this will bring about a life, bearing fruits for God! And you will be reborn as a new creature! With a renewed heart, no longer being a slave to your own sin but now walking by the Spirit ( described by the Bible as being a Comforter, Teacher, and Convictor of your sin to your conscience ) and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God). Basically in simpler terms that with being born again, with the Holy Spirit entering you forever, the Holy Spirit will influence your conscience/heart, prompting you away from walking in the deadness of the ways of your sin ( albeit, we won't be perfectly successful at it in this life; the Bible says that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak; the Spirit and the flesh do battle against each other in the being of a person; we won't go on to be sinless, but surely we will sin - LESS, because Christ came not only to save us from the consequence of sin, but also from the power and influence of sin as we live out our lives ); repent your sins! Repent. Turn away from your sins ( again, I am hypocritical for saying this because I can always be better at honoring all these things I'm saying ), but dont take lightly the knowledge of the things of God and the chance you have to be saved in this life! Repent and believe in Christ and Christ's Gospel! Amen, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind; and again, the whole overall theme of everything I'm saying is GOOD NEWS- that's literally what "gospel" means, good news! We HAVE a savior! The Son of God Jesus Christ! What a glorious thing! And a strong hope for eternal life! There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus; they have passed from death ( and hell ) to life! My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!! ❤

Just bought a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 Classic from my Uncle with 168k miles, runs like new. Very well maintained. I have had people stop me in parking lots wanting to buy it lol.

[@8020Media]

J - It's hard to come across a good one nowadays!

[@AFULLERROOFLIFE]

Nailed every problem I’ve had. 07 GMC 2500 Classic

[@8020Media]

Fuller - Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@Mr.Clean86]

I have the same truck

[@obsdually54]

just got my first lbz thanks for the video

[@8020Media]

OBS - Nice! They can be beasts!

[@codytucker4907]

How’s it been since you got it?

[@Camo-Dan]

I like the fact that you offered a solution to each situation. Great video I love lbz’s/duramax’s!

[@8020Media]

C - Thanks for the feedback! Hope it helps.

[@melvinstewart5490]

You didn't touch on harmonic balancer problems. My 2007 LBZ has 115k, yes that's low mileage. I've heard that the balancer will deteriorate with age. Should it be changed due to age or not?

[@bigikediesel]

511k on my service truck with a crane, wouldn't trade it for a new truck, it's perfect.

[@8020Media]

That's awesome. Great mileage out of an LBZ

[@beronib888]

Nice! Can you share some issues or parts you replaced over those miles?

[@buthead23]

LBZ still ripping 300k miles and not bias inlove fords and cummins engines!

[@8020Media]

B - Thanks for taking the time to share your experience? Deleted?

[@stephenmras8519]

Crankshaft dowel pin?

[@8020Media]

Really not much of a problem unless we're talking big power builds.

[@LoganVentro]

400,000 miles 2007 blown transmission for 2000$ would that be worth it?

[@8020Media]

L - We wouldn't do it. But if you're wanting a project car, then maybe. 400k is quite a lot.

[@fernandoalmanza831]

I just purchased one with 227k miles

[@8020Media]

F - Nice! Hopefully it's been taken care of!

[@cesarlaso356]

Good video. 310k miles at 650HP.

[@8020Media]

Cesar - Thanks for the feedback! Dang, pushing some serious power at that mileage. Nice!

[@casonjohnson1838]

What’s considered higher mileage?

[@8020Media]

Cason - We consider anything over 100,000 miles to be high-mileage.

[@tonymers]

@@8020Media LOL

[@staycompassionate3811]

2006 LBZ 3500 93k miles LFG

[@8020Media]

S - Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@tylerbuck9347]

That's remarkably low miles for such a gem! You're fortunate to have it

[@tylerbuck9347]
