7:08 Vehicle production begins early for the new year. This one was manufactured in the latter half of 06 as you can see, with the September 2006 stamp, so it was marketed as an 07. Also, in 07, the newer boxier body style was released for both the GMC and Chevy so it was a split year, with this cat-eye bodystyle being maintained in production under the name "Silverado/Sierra Classic" I've been a sales rep at a new dealership for the past 20 yrs.

Tammi Lutz there are many places to look for a coolant leak the trucks are known for lower radiator hoses to leak also could be a water pump, cross over pipe that connects to both of the heads or it could be the head gaskets eating the coolant and you can test the head gaskets with a block tester on the coolant tank just can’t get any coolant in the bottom of the tester that will mess up the test or if the is coolant on the grown then you know it’s a external leak not the head gaskets

Take off the cold side piping above the egr valve, the lbz uses a lot of low flow egr during cruise, and the valve on the passenger side fills with oil and soot, which causes it to stick open when the goo in there is cold. Problem doesn't happen when hot unless the egr valve is shot. You can also pull off the actuator and push the valve manually to see how sticky it is. I cleaned mine out 20k ago and not a problem since. Would always throw a light when cruising at 50 mph for 10 minutes in cold weather. 20k for an LBZ still? I paid 24k back in 2012 for a cclb with less than 100k. I've got a bunch more tips for common issues with these.

10th digit is a 7 it's a 2007 and 06 and 07 is literally the exact same truck

06 is a LBZ. And first year of allison 6 speed also sure way to tell is if it has a DPF, they started them on 07.5 lmm also maybe I missed it but I never saw you check the transmission fluid. Or waterpump weephole.

I was looking for a truck exactly like this one. I always wanted one just couldn’t find one. I ended up buying a 2017 f250 platinum ruby red . After having the f250 for about 2 1/2 years. I still want a duramax.

That's too funny, I always wanted one too and now I have a 2017 Ruby Red F-250 with the Lariat Ultimate package. Guess we're in the same boat having to settle for 70k Fords LOL.

manufacturers dates run jan - august. september starts the next year. so this would be actually a 07 LBZ.

My father used to have a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with rust bad enough that he could stick his forearm through it. He also has right now a 1995 Ford F150. Can't drive it because a sway bar went through the strut bar via rust. They are local vehicles too. South Central Indiana sucks ass for weather

The sticker inside the door shows when the truck was assembled. It’s not necessarily the model year. It’s an 07 truck built in September of 06.

That frame wasn’t bad on the truck he walked. Everyone under coats their frame at some point in time. Just common maintenance.
