: 2001 LB7/ZF-6 on eBay...has a "miss"

Hi guys.
I found an ext. cab dually (not my preference, but it's a Dmax/ZF, and it's CHEAP). Anyhow, he said it starts easily, no knocks, 80psi oil, no blow by. Could it be injectors? That's what he was thinking, BUT when I was still new to Dmaxes and I took my '02 (that I used to have) in to see what was wrong, the stealership thought it was a miss...I took it elsewhere and it really turned out to be a broken DMF that shook the truck at idle, mimicking a miss.

The truck is 18 hours away from me in West Monroe, Louisiana, so driving down to look at it and listen to it is out of the question. I am wondering if it could still be injectors, or something else? $4800 is, I think, a GREAT price for a Dmax/ZF6/4x4 w/182K (unless it needs a motor or something:eek:)

Here's the truck:

Thanks guys!

If it was closer I would be interested in it for another work truck. It's weird it says regular cab in the description and shows a pic of an extended cab??

It's been on and off of Ebay for some time. It's out of warranty even though he don't know that. It's strait but the steering wheel is shot :(.

I'd pass unless I could afford an engine.

He said the previous buyers couldn't afford to ship it or something...Yeah, that steering wheel needs to be re-wrapped, or be "cool" and go to Walmart and get a Mossy Oak steering wheel cover! lol

Yeah, you're right Kyle. 7 years or 200K,whatever comes first...Personally, I think it should be 200K, no matter how many years. Some people don't drive a lot.:D

:eek::eek::eek::eek:WOW!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'd expect to shell out twice that, for just an engine!
