You know your too north when you get excited over Door jams being rust free
😂
@@TruckMaster hey bud!
I HATE Michigan rust
You know you're too far south when you don't value your rust free cars and refuse to put tires on when you need em. 1 rain storm and you all hydroplane into a ditch 😅
But yes. I wanna move south maybe
@@j_mars_cars So true 😂 you don’t see rusted vehicles often here in Oklahoma.
I did exactly what you recommended and I passed on a 2008 Duramax after checking the water hose and looking for blow by and the exhaust. It was blowing white smoke from the oil cap and the water hose was hard to squeeze also. I looked for a small whole on the water reservoir tank and couldn’t find one. I looked at the tail pipe and it smelled like sulfur and had white smoke coming out of it. I then checked it with a scanner and it had a bunch of codes, specifically, it had all eight cylinders showing restrictions. When I told the used car owner that I was going to pass on the truck, he tried to talk me into it and said nothing was wrong with it. If I hadn’t looked at your video’s before I looked at it, I might have bought it and regretted it. Thanks a lot for the video, you saved me a lot of money and head aches.
I really appreciate your videos, I have been watching them for a couple years now and it has helped motivate me to buy my first dirtymax last year, It's an 05 lly crew cab chevy 4x4 and came with a 60 gallon fuel toolbox. I have watched just about every video you have and I love the before and after comparisons, not that many people do that. Thank you for your time and effort you put in these videos and congratulations on the new Duramax buy, really clean truck.
I love how everyone wants a deleted truck but no one wants to buy a truck thats been messed with 🤔
It’s because you never know how it was actually installed it could be a cobbled mess
The biggest reason i wanted a stock truck is I’m not paying for upgrades i might not want and i get to do everything myself and i know the condition/quality of the parts that are going on the truck.
jclark sometimes it’s like a girlfriend no one wants a girl that’s been messed with
Or the batteries were bead that also creates codes
becausae its had the fuck dogged out of it. buy stock, delete your own abuse it and sell it to a dumbass. been happening like this since the 70s bro
Very thorough... My 06 would pass all those checks and it's at a hard 200k.
Egr flow excessive is likely from a clogged air filter, that's the first thing that throws that code.
Love the fact you showed the door sticker Flint Mi built UAW 598.
I bought one of my first cars from that dealer. I had no issues with it. Wish I known you were in town could have said HI! Looks like a awesome truck.
Nice job. I watched the whole thing, without intending to at first!
Same
Me too
Thanks got lot helpful tips on looking at older dmax
Some down to earth dudes checking out some diesels.. Appreciate it. Going to check out a truck(LBZ) for the first time. Just sold my race car a few days ago to pay for my work truck. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you, very informative! Won't find anything that nice here in Ottawa Ontario!
Keep up the good work truck master you have helped me even more
Great info for those that might not be mechanically inclined. Keep up the great content!
Thanks
I'm glad I found your channel. I'm from Grand Rapids and love all trucks!
Thanks Tony
This is what a truck looks like whenever you love and take care of your stuff.
Just like whistlindiesel
Cali truck
Because I bet you any money it was bought brand new and owned by a boomer.
Mr. Big that’s true
I stuck around.. #greatbuy
Hey I much appreciate this video. I got my hands on an 06 LLY Duramax that was a hand me down from a 77 year old relative who bought it new almost 14 years ago. Frame is in good shape and with 166,000 miles I’m going to have to handle a couple things to it like ball joints, breaks, and odds and ends. Now I can investigate a little further thanks to your video. Stay Tuned!!!
My 06 Silverado almost has 230000 miles lol. The v6 still runs fine!
Proud owner. Of an 04 lb7. Bought dec 03. Orig owner. 150 k miles and yes I'm a Proud Grandpa!!! Love my truck. All original. Love your channel too
Thanks Hank
Very helpful video! Thank you! Love the great content
Thanks Noah
Them 2500s ain't no joke. I drive one for my work and it really gets on it.
Not a duramax guy but i can certainly appreciate this video.
If you have an 06 that’s tuned it’s an Lbz, only difference in 06 lly and lbz is tuning, with efi live your stock is “optimized stock” and they tune it to factory equipped lbz tuning
i really hope they knew that lol
Ya I don't know why people care so much about that. We all know that truck is getting tuned, so the factory tune doesn't matter at all
There is a difference... heads are slightly different and injector body diameter
Austin Mortimer you’re an idiot, go to any website and order injectors and it doesn’t ask you anything about a vin code for factory lbz or 06 lly same heads same injector same everything.
There is no 06 lly
The build sticker in the glove box could tell you everything you need to know about what motor/differential etc.
This guy is a drug store mechanic....I really hope nobody takes his advice.....he's so wrong in so many aspects of "knowing duramax's" 🤦♂️
Im looking at a 2008 right now and im so happy I found this video
I like that scan tool!!
This convinced me to look at cummins as an option.
Awesome content. 2017 stock duramax owner here. I'll be keeping an eye on your channel.
Outstanding, very well done. Sure, as you mentioned, you really picked it apart. However that is the way it should be done. Especially for the purpose of this program and pretty much all the time. Which allows you to decide what is important to be concerned about and what isn't. Outstanding job, great information, well presented and it reflects well on you to assist your friend as you have. Hope he bought you a beer... well done, bravo Zulu.... now onto the wifemax... stop teasing !!!
Thanks Ron I really appreciate it. Hopefully Wednesday I will have the Wifemax back
Right on, ive been waiting, very nice truck. I bought one out of New Mexico very clean
Nice 👍
Put Lucas injector cleaner when you follow up with diesel it makes the oil like new
I put Lucas injector cleaner in my diesel and increased my fuel mileage.
Great video and a really clean truck keep the videos rolling love watching
I just got an 05 rust free crew cab long bed lly. Blown hg. They broke the coolant reservoir cap so it would relieve all the pressure. I bought it as is. Everything looked good. But as I started driving around later in the week she started drinking coolant. When I was filling the coolant I noticed something inside the the cap was jiggling around so I replaced it. Then the bubbles in the reservoir started. I got it in the shop now. Definitely blown hg.
same
@Nonya Bizness yeah I thought about it. The whole lot
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.
Great info for people looking for a Duramax, I have a 2015 GMG 2500 HD. I will always own a Duramax.
I heard that 🏁 Lmm in Colorado 🤠
I wish I found your U-Tube video earlier I bought my first Diesel and did not look at the things you directed on your video. I was lucky.My 2003 2500HD loaded no rust had no head gasket problems no blowby no injector problems no leaky water pump. Guess I got a good deal on my 2003 Silverado 116,000 miles for $11,700.00
My first Duramax my second truck when I was 18 thought I had a great truck . Found out it had a pin whole drilled in the cap to release pressure a few days later. Bad head gasket lol lost my shirt lesson learned
Didn’t change them much, that interior looks exactly like my 03 lb7.
I dont think there were any changes from 03-07 like at all
99-07 used same interior seats handles etc
Different colors. Different door panels. Diff window switches. Diff instrument cluster: rpm gauge mostly.
Great videos on what to look for. Thank you
Anytime and thanks
Your video was really helpful!!
That is definitely the one boys.
That's 15 minutes from my house. I go by that place 3 to 5 times a week. Really nice people.
First thing to look for when buying a used chevy hd, pop the hood and see if the motor says cummins, if it doesn't you run far and fast.
Thanks for the video👍
Wow that was the deal of the century! Nice find guys
If my dad was ever selling I’d say come look at his bc he keeps it really good and rust free. Yeah it gets a lil muddy and dusty but he does keep it rust free
For sale yet? I’m in the market
Bought my own 2006 LBZ crewcab silverado with 4x4 in the floor. My only complaint is how quiet it is stock. I even cut off the muffler last week and have just the cat on it. All in all, its way stronger than my LB7 I owned. It only woke up when I put in 60 over SAC injectors
I feel like I need to bring you on my next diesel buy. Awesome vid
Bought literally the same truck with the same exhaust and arp studded. Came from the driest part of California I love the thing to death
It's not a thing, it's a Duramax. An lbz at that..
Leave the technical stuff to Earl!!! LOL!!! One thing to think about if a truck does come from CA (he did say LasVegas, NV) and you were getting EGR issues you’d have to take into account the emissions related things being put back on to pass SMOG, truck not pass SMOG, and the owner drives out of state to sell it. I’ll leave it for Earl to confirm!!! LOL!!!
Love the vids man. Also I am 15 and love trucks! Keep up the good work!👍😀
Thanks 👍
They say don’t inspect a vehicle when it’s wet/raining out. But I think this is definitely an amazing score nevertheless.
When I worked for Chevy (a long time ago) the next model year started in sept so that is an 07
going to look at my dream truck this weekend a 06 gmc sierra 2500hd duramax been looking for things to look out for videos great
I thought the date on the sticker in the door jam was the manufactured date of the truck..so the truck would be and 07
From Cali to rusty in 2 years or less.
Facts
Are you aware of undercoating sir?
How much a idiot are you? I swear people like you are just jealous lol.
Anthony Garcia You sound like the idiot, it’s common knowledge that GM truck frames are wax coated as opposed to enamel. The trucks rust out before vehicles twice as old.
Hopefully he’s smart enough to fluid film it yearly.
Probably had lift pump on it if it had brand new fuel filter housing
That thing is mint. Really wish I could find an LBZ like that.
I watched your videos when shopping for my LBZ, found a 07 outta cali with under 100k miles, 1 owner and completely stock.
Your buying guide helped look for everything and now a year later my truck is still running strong with no issues
Im glad you guys found what youre looking for!
Thanks
Very nice truck right there! See it was worth the wait that’s an awesome find !
Thanks 😊
Gorgeous truck, Im jealous!
Nice truck and great video take care.
Guy would be a nightmare to sell anything too.
huronhockey8 looks like that frame is painted with underbody spray too ......?
when you're buying for someone else with someone elses money your standards gotta be abit higher bruh
He’s smart he’s not tryina buy a rusted out bull crap truck period trucks are expensive and hold value not worth buying a 20k piece of junk
😂
I've had guys come in like this to the dealership I work at. I don't put stickers on the window, just ask a higher amount than you initially know you're going to get and let them talk you down to what they think is a good deal (your price)
All of these checks are interesting but what do you expect to do w this DuraMax engined truck? Is this for hauling or construction? Yes, it is prudent to examine the engine, frame and codes. Unless a truck has been very heavily used, trucks generally have good life left in them.
I definitely should have watched this video before buying my lmm. Everything worked out but I had no clue how to check for blow-by as I’ve only been a gaseous gone guy my whole life. Everything else in this test though I did. I got a desert truck that has immaculate door jams and frame but the white paint is starting to flake
I wish I knew about this channel before I bought my 2004 GMC DURAMAX 2500 PU.
I got an lb7 03 same color. Dark grey interior 6” fab tech lift. Dual shocks in front. Air bags geared, custom subs behind rear seat 5” exhaust. Haven’t put on my down pipe yet. 20x10. With 37” nitro ridge grapplers. I would sell it for 25k. Maybe lol. 161k. Runs really well. Just kidding I can’t sell it
I just went with a friend to look at a Lb7 crewcab for sale.
It was loaded, good exterior but steering was horrible, oil in the coolant, the motor was caked in oil, so was the transmission and the transfer case had an obvious pump rub leak. Banks 4 inch exhaust and intake.
It was a dog to drive, it just struggled to move, bad throttle response.
No deal was made.
Check coolant for blown head gasket. Check oil for bad rings.
I'm getting my dad's old 2006 duramax coming up here shortly and it's not rust free because it lived in minnesota it's whole life but I'm sure it will work as a good work truck for me for many years to come.
That’s my friends dealership! Truckmaster let’s meet up!
I like how he said a clean tailgate and the bolted the license plate into the tailgate
Really enjoy your videos
wow so clean, I wish I could find this
The Model Year changes around Jun - Jul. September 06 would be a 07
yep!!! very few cars are sometimes dont follow that but 95%do
@@timsheahan3951 There are time when we do a early model change, as early as February. It use to be the first 2 weeks of July shut down. Now we do rolling change overs and no real set schedule on change overs.
Nice Truck Fella's.... looks like you found a Gem, CONGRATS!
Check the upper mount at the frame left side under steering box of the front diff mount, the whole mount breaks off of frame, especially if its a plow truck.
Hey truckmaster, how do you like that scan tool? I'm in the market for one, and the one your using seems to be a good bang for your buck.
Good content as always.
Thanks Scott
You were over on my side of the pond! Haha! Should of stopped by and said hi! Nice truck!! Looks really clean!
I should have let you know 👍
Love your channel! I finally bought an 06 lbz! Also, I have the same hat!
Thanks
Could you break down all the subjects you brought up in this video, well done
Y’all are just confused, that truck is a 2007 lbz. Almost all vehicles are assembled way ahead of the sale year. You could buy a 2020 duramax in 2019. That sticker on the door shows the production date. That’s the month/year it was made. It’s an 07 lbz. Truck made in 06
Look at that black duelley Tennessee cadilac that was sitting besides his truck he was looking at at the beginning of video.
Thanks for letting me know when I buy a used truck when j get a license
The truck was assembled in 06 but was an 07 year truck. Anything that is assembled after June of that year, becomes the next year model.
Lol that's crazy man down here in Texas we don't really worry about rust to much unless someone used it for the beach.
I’m from Alberta and I have the same exact truck expect a long box extended cab. It’s got 150km on it and no rust. Things absolutely mint and wouldn’t sell it for the world
My 06 LBZ has 147658 miles . Love this thing. Only driven occasionally. Sits inside of my pole barn unless I'm pulling my boat or trailer. Any other time I drive my gasser. To keep the miles down. And not for sale.
Why are you trying to keep the miles down?
This is also a canadian (quebec) duramax dreams truck 😅! In our country. Its very hard to find a clean diesel truck without is fuckin rusty cab because of our winter season roads. Great truck body 🤠
With no rusty seat brackets! Amazing
I hope to buy one some day
How can you look underneath, and tell that the truck needed an alignment?
Rynberg's sells pretty good vehicles. Nice truck!
Can't wait to see those wheels and tires he had already bought gonna look sweet on that truck
CARROLLCHEVY I’M OLD SCHOOL AND REALLY LIKE THOSE FACTORY ALUMINUM WHEELS, I HAD AN 05 GAS MOTOR WITH THOSE WHEELS. THEY ARE EASY TO KEEP CLEAN.
@@noahdunaway it does look better stock
Hey! That website or app he is using, can it pull info on a Chevy Duramax in Denmark? Great videos by the way! Getting some good knowledge in what to look for, in my search for a decent Duramax. And your red truck sounds sick!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I feel so bad for the guys up north that this is a truck that’s hard to find lol down here in Texas all the frames look like that if not better
What do you think about the 2011 Duramax? There’s a really nice one but it has 211k miles on it. Seems to run and sound really nice. No milky substance. Seems to be super well taken care of. It was a 1 owner corporate truck, all stock. I’m in Texas. What all is there to worry about on the Duramax and what do you think it’d cost to fix blown headgaskets? Doesn’t have any head gasket issues as of now though
Hard upper hose COULD ALSO indicate the coolant tank cap needs to be cleaned or replace if it isn’t release the pressure on cool down or will hold extra pressure when hot
DirtRoadDiesel stupid question but could this cause coolant to leak? My parents having an issue with their 06.Loss of coolant and have taken to multiple mechanics and they all say they can’t find anything wrong. They are ready to sell it because they are worried about traveling with it now.
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
@@tammilutz7955 it might be burning coolant too if it isn't leaking out somewhere
"Look at these door jams! Unbelievable!" I was looking at it and thought, well yea... don't they all look like that? (I live near San Francisco, CA)
Michigan
ActiveMonkey I THOUGHT THE SAME THING, SOUTH LOUISIANA IS NOT AS GOOD AS CALIFORNIA BUT TEN TIMES BETTER THAN MICHIGAN.
man that thing is clean!
Josh another thing a hard rad hose can indicate is a thermostat stuck in the closed position which can lead to a overheating and head gasket issues or a potential blown radiator
Thanks Nathan
Truck Master you are welcome Josh
