looking at buying a 2003 LB7 Chassis cab that served as a mail truck w/ 203,000 miles.

never owning a Duramax, I was wondering if 30lbs oil pressure at idle ( 700 RPM) at 180 degrees water temp is about right?

Sorry about being nitpicky, but its an e-bay independent-dealer special 600 miles away:o:

i would say so... several others, myself included have seen otherwise but 30 lbs sounds like good pressure...
