Yes, I’d like to see an episode about all the duramax engines

[@nickj6275]

Truck master sat down with a duramax mechanic and went over all of the duramax engines

[@Sixman__]

Let's talk about how if you find one that is 4WD and less than 150k miles most listings are between $35-48k 🙄

[@GFY..-..]

Found 10 under 150k for less then 30k lowest being 123k miles for $16,500

[@Sixman__]

[@GFY..-..]

[@cataclysmick_6514]

my 2006 LBZ had a few front end problems costed around $500 to fix it had 157,000 miles i gave $14,000 for it but i looked for one like it n cheap for over 2 years

[@MrHellested]

I bought mine 3 years ago, 148k miles for 20k. I thought that was expensive! Now it’s crazy!

We’re the same age Dustin. My dad had the lbz duramax when I was in middle & high school. I will definitely get one soon. Pure nostalgia of my childhood 🔥🔥

[@theheavydmaxman7447]

I’m so happy I found my LBZ over a year ago for a good price! She was bone stock with low miles, I remember seeing and riding in one as a kid and have always wanted one since then. The GMC Sierra 2500 was my calling! Looks better, sounds better, and runs better than all of its other competitors! Got my 18inch XD Grenade Wheels from you guys on 33s for my LBZ! One of the nicest upgrades to compliment my Fender Flares and the body of my truck! More upgrades (mainly performance) to be done but I love it!

[@kevinshea2092]

There is a reason that I bought my 06 LBZ in June of 06. 178K miles later I absolutely love my truck. upgrade the brake lines and fuel lines to SS and good to go.

[@xtreme306]

my dad bought my LBZ brand new in 06 and finally just upgraded to a 2019 high country last year so I bought this truck from him. long story short he wants to buy it back! I love this truck!

[@dnlmachine4287]

2007 LBZ here. Great truck. But I always keep my eyes out for a Dodge 12 valve. Their simplicity is valuable. If I found a Dodge, I would still never sell my LBZ. Stay gold.

[@Randy_15G]

I absolutely love all the Cat Eyes. They are just so amazing. A cat eye avalanche was my first truck ever and i will never sell it. I will just get a 2007 Classic Silverado 2500HD when times comes.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

The LBZ is an awesome powerplant! Upgrade the pistons and build.

[@eddiearre]

I straight traded a 99 7.3 Ford F-350 for a 2006 LBZ with 300k miles, sure the Ford was reliable and had no issues, less miles, but man did I hit the jackpot in that trade, the LBZ has been a beast hauling, minimal issues just ur average things breaking due to lack of maintenance , I love the truck!

[@kevinunger433]

I bought my lbz in late 2005(2006) model. All I did was put a Banks air cleaner, dual exhaust, and six gun tuner. It’s still rockin today in 2021. Best truck I’ve ever owned. Still have the original factory brake pads, they’re at50% wear. Had to replace front wheel bearings from running to hard in desert sand and a module switch in the 4 wheel drive. But that’s the only 2 things to ever be in the shop. What an awesome truck.

Just changed the original brake pads on my 368k I finally told them to just change them even though they were still good 😆

I have always thought the 3 best looking diesel pick up trucks were 1st Gen Cummins, OBS 7.3’s, and LBZ Duramax’s! Would love to see a overview video of all the Duramax engines.

[@randydeshane9991]

Well, I must like the lbz. I have a 2007 Duran max HD crew cab with the classic body style and standard bed. I have used it to pull 2 different fifth wheels and all I have ever had to do is change the oil and filter, air filter and have the transmission serviced ever 30,000k. Granted it only has 105,000k on it. Awesome truck!!!

[@ericd7761]

If you ever want to sell it let me know

[@gabrielbz.]

i own a lbz and the only truck worth upgrading to would be a L5P with the 10 speed allison i’ve only heard good things about them.

[@stanlojewski6761]

Yep, love it enough to own one and do not plan to get rid of it for a long time. '06 Sierra 2500hd crew cab short bed 171k on it.

[@gemstatefisherman3409]

I’ve had my 07 classic for a couple of few years now. And seeing prices today I’m glad I got it when i did!! I also have a 2017 F350 king ranch and while the king ranch is more comfortable in every way. My LBZ is still my favorite.

maybe this is the place to ask, maybe its not. But I own a 2006 lbz duramax and have been having a problem with it. everytime i turn my tuner up to race someone once it rolls so much coal my check engine light comes on and then it goes into limp mode. any suggestions to fix this? I thought lbz's were suppose to be fast and mines slow asf.

[@myleslundy6771]

Well there’s many factors, you can’t just slap a 300hp tune on a stock truck and think it’s track ready doesn’t matter if it’s a lbz or not. Do you got a built transmission? Do you got a good proper tune cuz there are plenty of shitty tunes that will make your truck run like shit and was it done by a professional? Lastly are your injectors good cuz sounds like it could possibly be a injector issue or the tune itself. Cuz while rolling coal maybe cool it’s actually very bad and unhealthy for your engine and can lead to many problems like injectors for instance. I’m not a mechanic by any means but I’ve done a lot of research on Diesel truck and engines cuz I’m so fascinated by them but ya sounds like your tune or injectors

[@Bencoolio47]

04.5 is when they changed to the LLY and that is when the injectors weren't in the valve cover like the lb7 of 01-04 😜 , not in 06 lol. 06-07 are the unicorns.
