HOW MUCH Did I Spend on this DURAMAX at Auction???

[@Acaidia]

$3400 is a steal for this truck especially considering you're willing and capable of doing all the repairs yourself. Seeing the clean interior, new-ish batteries, and all the fluids at the correct levels are promising signs about how it was maintained. This truck is definitely worthy of being saved. You could replace every single part on this truck and the cost wouldn't even come close to that of a new 2wd base model 1500 gasser let alone a crew cab 2500 with a diesel and 4wd. Plus its more reliable and way cheaper to fix than a new truck. IMO Chevy already hit their peak with these early 2000's pickups. As you said these trucks hit a sweet spot between being modern enough to be comfortable and powerful, while still being reliable, simple to repair, and not loaded with tons of BS electronics and emissions garbage. I just don't see Chevy ever topping this generation of pickups.

Yessir. My dads got a 09 2500 Duramax with 345,000 miles and it’s had no engine issues. Had many minor issues with the interior, drive train and other small things. And some more major issues with drivetrain like the transfer case and transmission but the engine has been outstanding. He takes care of his stuff really good so that helps.

[@markm.9590]

Wow, a steal at even 4 thousand ! I bought a 2005 Tahoe with 150 thousand miles and paid 7 thousand! And No Duramax! I looked but what I found with Duramax was a 1/2 ton Van and the Trucks were off the charts High priced ! 12 thousand & up. I'd love to have that Engine.

That is a stock driveshaft, fuel cooler and fuel lines tend to rust and leak. Looks like most of the brake lines were replaced, that’s good. Stock tie rods are undersized and likely worn out, will likely need an upgrade to a stronger aftermarket along with the pitman arm. Also the intermediate steering shaft most likely makes clunky sound, replace with newer design. My 2005 is going strong, congrats Waldo!

We'll get a closer look once the bed comes off, but in my experience, it's mostly the crossmembers that rust out. They're easy to replace. If the main frame rails rusted through, that would make it much harder to fix 👍

[@bodymanruss518]

@@WaldosWorld I am a collision tech in PA and if I'm not mistaken,...Gm sells a service part( back half of frame) that you can replace,...as long as it has no diamond in the measurements. From the looks of it,....you will be replacing more than just crossmembers. At the very least,...you will be plate patching some of the rails in the back 1/3 section.

Even my 2002 Silverado WT had automatic headlights. They were standard equipment. I didn't have the crossmember rust, but I had to replace the leaf spring mounts in the back. When I got rid of it, the back bumper had holes through it and the bottoms of the doors were getting soft. Brake lines, fuel lines, and evap lines all had to be replaced at one point too. GMT800s are good trucks, but they are prone to rust.

Waldo, Ill be following this build closely. I have a 99 sierra sle z71 4x4. It is a single cab short bed fleetside truck. Im only the 2nd owner. It has 150, 000 miles on the ls4.8. The rockers are gone and the wheel arches are shot. One frame rail has some rust through. I picked up a rust free Texas bed for it very reasonably. One of the fuel lines along the frame has started to leak. So ive purchased all new fuel fuel lines and stainless steel brake lines from inline tube. They are high quality and vry affordable. Since youll have your bed off anyway, you might consider them. Im having the frame media blasted and repaired before I coat it liberally with por15. Looking forward to your progress

[@WaldosWorld]

For the brake lines, I have copper nickel tubing that I'll be using, but I'll definitely take a look at the fuel lines -- they're a lot easier to do with the bed removed 😂

[@toldroyd1]

There is one reason not to live in Utah: You must have a car salesman or recycler license in order to participate in a Copart auction. My truck was stolen back in February and then recovered 2 months later. The Insurance company paid me for the loss. I decided to buy back the truck and found out that I could not do so as I was not "properly licensed". I can repurchase it if I go through a broker, but the charge to do so cost too much. In case you were wondering that law was passed when there were 3 Automobile dealers in the legislature. Payola still rules.

[@WaldosWorld]

Yeah, that's the case in most states. I had to use a broker for this purchase. Talk about a middleman that adds cost, but no value. It's a load of protectionist bullcrap

[@TheCoopMan]

Just ticked over 300k in my lly. There is a recall on the intake horn. It was narrowed from the factory and can lead to overheating(the main reason these trucks have a reputation for bad head gaskets) If you don’t have the upgraded one, get the one from s&b. (While your at it, a full cold air intake is definitely worth the investment) Other than that, upgrade the exhaust and keep an eye on the fuel filter mount. They like to go bad and leak air into the system. With that rust, his truck only has a few years left in it. However, if you find another vehicle you want to swap an engine into, there are companies that make kits to duramax swap.

@Waldo's World Check the drivers engine mount they tend to tear rubber off the steel from the torque. Some have throughbolted to limit some of that. Some claim huge decrease in vibration from a fluid crank damper. The control arm bushings are probably splitting rubber by now. And get an EFILIVE tune for better operation etc
