Nice truck, no visible smoke, coolant reservoir is clear, injectors tick sounds healthy, no boost leaks from the sound while driving. 109k miles low miles, no hitch In the bed so wasn’t used to towed a lot. All in all that’s a clean truck.

[@LamelKendrick]

[@Forgoten214]

I love this generation, The GMT800 with LB7 Duramax is probably my favorite Diesel/Truck combination of all time for a pick up. I don't like the newer styles personally and these LB7s are powerhouses. You can get 900whtq and over 400rwhp easily with simple bolt on upgrades and a tuner. Amazing power.

[@myk1_sp]

Agreed, especially 12 years later!

[@3wrapframe]

That engine started the quiet diesel craze in the big 3. I worked for Gm when those were new. Ugg colors tho, and 2wd. Neat vid. Thanks

[@Motorfordtoyota]

If there is one thing I have noticed through these vids is that the Duramax is definately a quieter then the 5.9 Cummins and the 7.3/6.0 Powerstroke! I love Chevys!

[@jarodcole876]

We got a 2003 silverado 2500 hd, and I've never seen a truck work as much as this thing! We've pulled an 18 wheeler who was stuck in mud out a few years back! He was pretty shocked!

[@thomasa3303]

That's exactly why I own an 02 durmax and my dad has an 87 silvarado longbed. U can't break them if u tried lol. Sure the interiors ain't as nice as the cummins and powerstroke but u just can't beat silvarados they are always the best. I love mine so much haha

[@bignix23]

I’m glad to have found this video. I’ve been wanting one of these 01-02 Duramax trucks for 8 years now and I believe I found one I want to pull the trigger on. These rigs are hands down my favorite Edit: I ended up buying the truck and it has not disappointed me one bit. You just have to know when buying an LB7, you have to save for injectors because they will go out. I just did mine and I love the truck even more now

[@helloby791]

The owner traded that truck in at 109k because it needed injectors you can get tell when he revs it you see white smoke caused by injectors leaking and burning more fuel.

[@carlosjaramillojr.6302]

Hello By how much is a repair like that for a diesel? Rough estimate

[@nabor9856]

Carlos Jaramillo 5-6 k was what it is for where I live which is the Napa Valley for all 8.

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

My friend's sister has an 02 Duramax as well. The first thing I noticed when I started it was that the injectors were out; it was blowing smoke through the air vents. Can anyone tell me why a lot of the 01-2 Duramaxes have so much injector problems?

[@lgnw-ong1189]

JDFan98 its called hazing it happens over age. If you have 1 or 2 faulty injectors you should replace them all, it is a costly job and no point waiting for the rest to go and having to repeat the same process. This truck is nice- shame its 2wd.

[@mattread6587]

Its also being revved cold and not at operating temp! Which will cause it to be hazy. CP4 gonna be strained since there is less than a 1/4 tank and prob no sump or lift pump

[@joseph.christiansen]

Gotta love hearing that Alison transmission shifting. Just clean smooth shifts every time.

This engine has awesome sound, you can here the turbo very clear ,and it sounds like a great v8 diesel .

Im not really a fan of Chevy, but i love the interiors of late 90's early 2000's. And those power specs are more than i had ever expected. Its an eye opener XD.

[@thewheelman6533]

You can hear that Allison whine at low speeds. You know you've got a good transmission under you when you hear that.

[@codyzent6471]

Transmissions arnt supposed to whine. The whine u hear is the turbo

[@zacharybishop6595]

Cody Zent It may have been the turbo but a lot of older Allison transmissions used to whine.

[@painterdood2484]

This is the best looking Chevy ever! I just wish he would have offered some feedback on how this model compares with the Ford and Dodge where drivability is concerned. Isn't that the point of a test drive?

As much as I love the sound of the Dodge Ram cummins Kyle test drove a while back this truck is a hell of a lot more refined inside.

[@Alviniscute]

i love that Duramax sound

[@gajda1984]

The cummins definitely has that 6 cyl whiney raspy sound, with an aftermarket exhaust it always reminds me of an 18 wheeler tractor trailor. The powerstroke always has a distinct whistle to me along with a slight v8 sound. The duramax definitely reminds me of a typical Detroit Diesel 4 stroke V8 like the 6.2, 6.5 as well as the medium duty 8.2L fuel pincher of the 1980s. it has a real throaty V8 diesel clack with a slight turbo whistle.

[@Righty736]

@whatthehallbetch If you hook up a mechanical gauge up to it, you'll notice the gauge in the dash stays the same whereas the mechanical gauge will go up and down. Not sure why they included a gauge if it's not functional. If I remember right, there were a few reflashes for the last Jeeps to have them (Grand Cherokees, Wranglers and Cherokees with the 4.0) that turned the oil pressure gauge into a fake one too!

[@Righty736]

@whatthehallbetch He is *kind of* right. On a lot of engines, the location of the oil pressure sending unit is such that if the engine sludge up and plugs the pick up for oil it will peg the oil pressure gauge at the max. A cold engine is going to have higher oil pressure anyway.

by far the best hd diesel out there! the 6.0 powerstroke sucks and the cummins in the ram outlasts the truck it self, the chevy has the best ride and is the most refined by far.

[@sedag100]

1:05 heavenly V8 sound, gives me goosebumps!!

[@freespeachrulez]

I for some reason like the Duramax more than the Powerstroke in terms of reliability and sound. The Duramax has a throatier rasp to it. But when it comes to sheer pulling torque the Cummins paired to a Allison manual transmission is where it is at. And I am a Chevy fan myself. I have just seen too many Powerstokes broke down or blowing up.

[@megastick9324]

Allison was not optional, ALL Duramax had the Allison. It was also on the 8100 powered trucks. They had an option of a stick shift.
