I Might Buy This Totaled LBZ Duramax Dually! *Bad Financial Decision*

[@ednesbit2988]

That's so hard to pass on a L. B. Z. Dually man o man lol. I feel that though I looked for 2 yrs for a decent L. B. Z and they were either thrashed or way overpriced by far I turned down a lot of trucks it was the right thing to do I finally found a mint condition L. M. M and for waiting the Lord blessed me with a bad ass truck $30,000 with 120,000 on it it looks like it just came out of the factory I towed my toy hauler from socal to Florida with no issues Josh when that voice says no don't do it and just wait on the Lord it will pay off it's the right choice great video again it's a banger thanks for sharing!!!!!

A month ago I finally found a LB7 Dually and I absolutely love it!!!! You’ll find one you can’t pass up eventually!!! God Bless

[@christopherhawn831]

You TOTALLY made the right choice. The only wow factor of the dually was the spotless frame. The rest of the truck was trashed and you would be “upside down” in your finished project. Like you said, those trucks are a dime a dozen and you can find one that isn’t in demolished condition for a couple grand more. Easy decision!

[@mrgrim6549]

Man i love that truck. Old but gold. To bad you dont do give aways. Id of took it missing half the bed but atleast our family would have a second vehicle...gotta love it

[@bernhard8540]

Since i first got a lift pump and went through the top like your saying on that frame, about a month later i was ripping that out and installing a sump in the bottom of the tank, sloshing around doesnt affect fuel pressure at all anymore❤

[@finfan1009]

I have a 07 dually,from classy chassis. 136,000. Excellent condition, runs perfectly. Never had any wrenchs on it. Just filters and batteries. Maybe drive it 3 to 3500 miles a year. Going to keep it until my last breath.

You were smart. You were very smart that that meant a miles and stuff on it. Shoot time, you get them doing it. Taking the engine out taking it out. Turn all those repairs pairs sheet. That's a lot not some people that I see some guys have a little though. Still feeling they convert him into tow trucks and stuff

From what I understand, the LLY is a Detuned LBZ. But I could be wrong, I don’t know enough about the Duramax

That's only the trucks made in the second half of the 2005 year run.

[@drewmax-kl4oy]

@@TBGaels32 one way to check if it's a detuned lbz is a early lb7 duramax diesel badge and 06 lbz auto gear shifter

yes and no, 05.5 is a detuned LBZ major difference is connecting rods, pistons and turbo mouthpiece.

[@98ChevyK1500Z71]

It did run great, and miles don't mean anything, but the amount of body work needed along with the unknown of axle/frame/suspension damage make it a tough project. You can find trucks not needing as much for a little more...they wont be perfect, but there are fewer unknowns.

5 grand is STEEEAAAP. I live in NWI, I’ve bought rust free trucks that are in Indiana that were shipped from lower states for around 5 or 6 that need a simple engine swap. Just bought an lbz for 7 that’s got a lot of work done and sheared a cam pin. That dually is pass and a half man

[@leebuck180]

If the seller would have included the other bed, that would have made the deal even for a little more money. In Virginia ALL trucks and parts are (stupid)expensive, a similar truck to what you looked at would be $8-10K all day long and a clean high mileage example $20-30K. congrats on the frame score, you have a good start for another project. on the orange truck, is the oil cooler in the radiator? even a new radiator, check that first.

I’m the second owner (bought it with 18K miles) of a 2007 GMC 2500 HD Classic 4 door LT with 56K miles. Three years ago (11+ years later) the dealership I bought it from offered me $30K, sight unseen, which is $1K more than I paid for it in 2009. Considering all the issues with the new ones and them being $100K, I plan on it being my “forever” truck.

[@EduardoMarroquin-j6f]

The issue that you may have with Sunkist may be the engine oil cooler had the same issue on my lb7

Nothing crazy about walking on it. All I can say is I wish I had that kind of self control😅 i just signed a sales agreement to buy a 2006 lbz 2500 gmc round eye?

VERY PROUD OF YOUR DECISION BRAVO ZULU 👏 YOU WALKED AWAY FROM THE DUALLY. The whole time, I was using mental telepathy.. DON'T BUY IT JOSH !! Holy duramax, it worked !! I would be curious if the insurance totaled it ? Which explains wanting to sell it vice repair it.. so the title is a question... The free frame, good consolation prize lol... Drop a 62 Dually body on it... get a rear-end. What year is the frame ? Duramax and manual transmission... 4wd... RAT ROD... 😎👍 bag it, so when laid out, she is in the weeds... cruising in 2wd.. snow comes 4wd...

[@TruckMaster]

Nice 👍 great idea 💡

[@ronthompson2366]

​@TruckMaster Check out these two builders. Corey Wheat Customs and Hardcorps Fab...both have KZbin channels. Look at the builds they are and have done. Buy building a RAT ROD and using a older body style. Plus the newer frame. You are saving money and you are getting a cool custom truck. Go to a salvage yard and sort and pick a body . Then fit it to the frame. Check out their builds you will be hooked. You might even then consider going back for the dually 😮. A bagged, dropped, dually RAT ROD 67 stepside... with a Duramax.... next to a early 60's bagged, dropped 4wd..... and a Duramax. No paint job..patina is cool, it's a RAT ROD. Stock motor, sourced air bags, 4 link rear suspension, ... You can build both for less than the Sunkist truck. [And the WIFEMAX]. Search for a 57 Apache body... fleetside or stepside..

[@GallowayPerformance]

The only acceptable way to put a box on it is an aluminum skirted flat bed

[@davidrobinson3309]

I believe you have a busted oil cooler on drivers side of the block my friend. Only way i know that oil can get to the coolant tank. Dont think thats a head gasket problem judgein upon the biggest issues j ever had with my duramaxes was the oil cooler leaking or mixing coolant with oil. Or the headgasket being bad causing pressure in the upper radiator hose but never running hot or chocolate milk oil or sludgy coolant. I believe its oil cooler replacement time buddy. Unfortunately not just a gasket kit this time. Oil cooler not a bad job tho especially with your knowledge and the rack in ur garage.
