Just bought a 2007 K2500 Chevy Silverado LBZ Duramax Crewcab LT3 with 150,000 miles. Taking it for Fluid Film next week to protect it. So far so good. Truck is from MO - The Show Me State. Hope she shows me a good time! Good Video!
Definitely a big emphasis on the pump rub issue you briefly touched on. If you have 4x4… If you cannot find evidence of the upgrade or fix being made, expect on pulling the case to do so. Sooner the better. Also it looks salty in your area. Fuel lines, fuel cooler and brake lines love to pop after years of salt exposure.
I have a 2001 Chevy 2500HD Duramax with a Allison and a 2004 Chevy 3500 8.1L gas with a Allison transmission. I like the 2001 body style better , the hood and headlights
Is 260k miles something ti be concerned about? Service manager at work’s son is selling his 2001 and i am interested in buying it, thats how i came across your video. Many good notes taken, thanks!
I just purchased an 03 gmc Dmax and noticed I have an oil leak in the drive way size of a dime seem like it’s coming form the top looks like it’s by the turbo any suggestions?
I'd not cut the hole just unbolt the bed and lift it off so it's good and then can clean and treat the frame while it's off of it & don't have to hack the bed up
@@FoolintheRainSDMF Not always an option to remove the bed. Whoever put the gooseneck in my 04 definitely didn't do it the right way now there's a gooseneck ball with two probably 2" nuts rust welded under my truck.
Strange to see one like my 02. Same color and a hard ARE bed cover. Clear coat is peeling on mine. Is basically stock. Bought new. 300,000 miles on it. Just routine maintenance. I caterpillar oil filter. Changed oil and filter at 5000 miles and transmission fluid and filter at every 3rd oil change. Just like the battery commercial it just keeps going and going and going, 21 years so far.
This is my Humble opinion. The parking brake. Set it every time you stop. The GM pickups at work. The guys would not set the parking brake. The Lights would come on when Without setting the parking brake. I think that puts load on lights, why do they burn out. Also it puts load on the battery. I remember many times when I had a Dead battery for no reason. Just saying.
Bought a 2007 lbz new 138k no issues, oil filter n oil 4-5000, every fluid every 30k love my truck.
Honestly I have had all three and had no problems but I think these are all great trucks as long as you take care of them properly
Ever had fuel get into oil?
@@jackhu9225 no
@@jackhu9225nope
@@jackhu9225no the only thing I had to do with all three was just maintenance

11-16 superduty common failure points would be cool to watch
Common Fail points on engine, trans, cab, frame, and bed of super dudy
Don’t buy a ford… easy as that
Other common failures of these trucks is the window motors and door hinges
And door latch
@@Zach-td5mband the sensor in the door that determines when it's closed

I just got a 2003 sierra 3500 dually with 164k miles for 3k! It was a fuel/work truck but it's in great shape.
I love the gmt800 platform.
What years are the gmt800 platform

Best years!

Such a beautiful truck I hope to own one someday
Balance rate test must reference the calculated fuel rate to be meaningful. Run it hard and then check rad hose too.
lets not forget the discontinued headliner

bunch of duramax go over 500k with the due care
Definitely make sure pump rub has been addressed if it’s a 4x4.

Thank you for the video/ education. 👍👍
Those years didn't have lift pumps and if they did they wouldn't have to cut a hole in the bed to get to it
Exactly!
This guys a tool, i stopped after he said that
