The '91 is going to qualify for second time (200,000 miles) before the end of the week. Seems to have been a great choice and, believe it or don't, still the factory original brakes and clutch.
The D-max is only 1/4th of the way to 100,000 miles, but so far it's been just as good as the '91 for fuel economy, reliability and lack of problems, and WAY more capability. (Of course it cost almost 3 times as much as the '91 did new.) Nothing to complain about.
one twentieth the way there....! ONE HAPPY CAMPER ..exceeded my expectations so far..(pretty soon i'm gonna get my wife out of corporate so we can put some miles on this baby) .really enjoyin' this forum..later, bc
Right at 150,000. Good truck and transmission. Duramax fuel system has caused me many breakdowns and is extremely expensive to repair. Hope the new fuel design addresses these issues.
Another guy here that's halfway to 100K. I just turned 50K a week ago, and loving the truck just as much as day 1. Actually, maybe even better now that the beast is broke in a little.
'88 S-10 Blazer 4.3 currently 221,000 miles, only repair to engine was to replace water pump and while they were that close had them replace the timing chain as well, needs valve guide seals but don't add any oil between 5,000 mile changes
'78 Jeep J-10 360 pickup sold in '02 after buying current D'max, had 400,000+ miles, engine rebuilt once and 2 clutch replacements
'02 3500 D/A just under half way with 45,000+ miles, has run strong with no engine/transmission issues, hope to put more miles on it than I did the J-10
I've got a whole 7200 miles on my 2003. What a truck!! Fun to drive, tows great. Only real complaint if I really had one is the initial purchase price, but then what do you buy these days that doesn't cost mucho bucks.
1/5 of the way there. I enjoyed 207k miles on my 88 Silverado. I love the way this truck handles the 5er. I expect this may be my last truck if I keep it as long as the 88.
Got a buddy with a 98 dodge cummins with 650,000 miles on her and no problems todate except a water pump and a couple of engine belts. My duramax has only 15,000 on her and except for a one time magor injector nock no problems. Should be a good truck once I get the new updated injectors on it.
Howdy Yall,
longtime lurker here but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for through searching. I just picked up a 2001 2500HD LB7/ZF6 recently and its been great! Used to have another ‘01 with the ally but alas it died an untimely death, but I digress...
The check engine light came on, so...
I have recently purchased a 2004 LB7 CCFB dually. I'm just curious what the oil pressure is at idle and also what the average engine temperature should be?
Hi I need help, I’ve got a 2003 lb7 CA. I’m trying to get it smogged. I just did the injectors, vacuum pump, egr vacuum solenoid and the glow plugs. I’ve put 2000 miles on it since then and the CCM monitor won’t go ready. Has a tuner on it from Dyno sources tuning. I know a guy that has the same...
I picked up an 04 lb7 from a buddy, he says it ran fine, he parked it and when he tried to start it a week later it won't start. I have checked for fuel leaks, made sure it is primed, tried pumping the primer while cranking and still no start. Security light isn't flashing, no codes, all fuses...
I have read several post on this site before I began to really understand what the balance rates are telling me. I thought I would share what I have learned.
First let’s define some variables that show up on a scanner:
Fuel rate - average amount of fuel delivered to each cylinder measured in...
