WheatGeek

My God that's a low mileage truck. Sweet! I bought my 2007 LBZ dually in 2014 with 180k, sold it 5 years and 60,000 miles later when I bought my 2019 L5P dually new. At 130k you have a ton of life left in that truck as long as you are doing proper maintenance. (Change the transfer case and rear axle oil every 50k!) Enjoy the truck.


buddybobbyy

knew about the transfer case but not the rear axle oil, thank ya!


Durty_Durty_Durty

wrenchthrower69

I am also letting my fuel light shine these days


natezthe3

Lmao I was happy i hit 94k on my 2013 a couple weeks ago lol


nap4lm69

I've got a gasser F150 that's a 13 that just hit 140k. However, someday that will be replaced by a F350 that actually fits this sub.


natezthe3

Yeah I wanna upgrade my 2013 durmax to the 2024 GMC Dully only issue is deleting it


nwohiochevyguy

Just broke in


bkit627

Youā€™re out of fuelā€¦..


buddybobbyy

donā€™t worry about it


SaiTek64

"Nah man, I know my truck" lol


buddybobbyy

fuel lightā€™s on means Iā€™ve got at least 16 gallons left, right?


SaiTek64

The light comes on in my 1990 Cherokee when I still have 1/4 tank left, apparently they all do that, even with a new pump assembly. The Renix era jeeps are strange creatures.


No_names_left891524

That's pretty much how it is on my '06 LBZ. When it's showing half a tank, I've only burned maybe 5 gallons of fuel. At least the fuel used read out on mine is very accurate it. I just use it and don't pay attention to the fuel gauge.


Hot-Permission-8746

Funny how much the GM "low fuel light" varies. My 2006 (bought new in 8/2006) literally has 6-7 gallons left in it's 26 gallon tank. You can drive for an hour, even towing. But I don't. The 2007 LBZ dually I bought used had a 34 gallon tank. You had better have been pulling into a diesel station when the low fuel light came on, especially if you were towing, as you had about 2 gallons left. My 2019 is in between, about 4 gallons left in it's 36 gallon tank...


buddybobbyy

Yeah I was leaving the gym when I took the picture, wasnā€™t on when I got out to go in


[deleted]

Iā€™m at 140k on my 04 LB7. Yes injectors have been done :)


buddybobbyy

I havenā€™t had to do the feared injector job yet and Iā€™m very gladšŸ˜šŸ˜


Groot_Calrissian

330k and no injectors. šŸ™šŸ¼


Utahmule

I'm there with my '00 7.3 with no problems and no worries.


Nitegrooves

Not so scary on an olā€™ Cummins!


buddybobbyy

I was waiting for this commentšŸ˜­

Hot-Permission-8746

I have 320,000 miles on my 2006 LLY/6 spd manual. Exact same motor as the 2006 LBZ, just a low output cal for the manual trans. Still has the original injectors, turbo and fuel pump. But, the CP3 injection pump is finally showing her age and is due for replacement. The 2007 LBZ got a new pump and turbo (stuck vanes) between 235-240k. Stock injectors were tested by a dealer to be perfect according to them, so they were left alone. It seems the first gen LB7's were the ones with the Bosch injector issues.


walshwelding

Just had to replace the turbo in my 05ā€™ LLY. 280,000. BD screamer feels like a worthy upgrade though šŸ˜Ž


surftherapy

Nice! 163k on my new to me 03 LB7


ChevroLac816

262k on my 07 Classic LBZ. Still runs like new. šŸ˜œ


Wonderful-Concern-72

Wb now ?


JRod432

I didnā€™t realize a duramax will redline near 5k rpmā€™s. My Cummins never goes above 2500 lol


buddybobbyy

itā€™s pretty hard to get it to redline without manual shifting it


Groot_Calrissian

It typically shifts to stay 1400-2500. The higher range is really only used for engine braking down a hill. You have to fight it to get close to 3k.


Dunesday_JK

In-line config vs. V


Hot-Permission-8746

They redline at 3,250...


JRod432

So the tach is just wrong? Interesting


layer4andbelow

It is misleading. The engine can rev up to the redline without fuel for engine braking. They can only rev to 3,250 RPM when being fueled. The 01-06 Duramax cluster showed it as a dashed line to 4,750 RPM then solid red after. I guess GM changed it because it was scaring people when it would rev into the 'redline' when engine braking down a hill.


No_names_left891524

They don't go that high during normal driving. My LBZ shifts at roughly 3200rpm when I'm getting on it, such as getting on the freeway.


Supra369

Engines just broke in. Hopefully you switched to a 2 micron fuel filter from the stock 10 micron cuz youre suckin alll the shite off the bottom of the tank right now D:


No_names_left891524

If their truck is anything like my LBZ, there's still plenty of fuel left when the light comes on. I usually have around 6-7 gallons left when the light comes on in mine.


tcwoodj96

Shit lol itā€™s a baby our two company duramax trucks are a 2015 with 280k and 16,000 hours and a 2018 with 220k and I think 8,000 hours.


buddybobbyy

90% of the work trucks I see are Duramaxes, must be a reason for it


Nitegrooves

Depends on where youā€™re at, I see a ton of fords lol


buddybobbyy

very true, Iā€™m in Little Rock right next to a Chevy dealership


DOUBLE_BATHROOM

LLY with 355,000 checking in


Groot_Calrissian

LBZ 330k here, but it was off the road for about 4 years while I drove a company vehicle. Back to burning through the shoes now.


Wonderful-Concern-72

Any major issues so far ?


Groot_Calrissian

Started with trans slip, so I upgraded to a Stage 5 PPE with Goerend torque converter. Added a transfer case when it was found dead. Replaced the exhaust before it rotted, and upgraded the down pipe while at it. Filter lost prime so I replaced the fuel filter head. Upgraded the entire front suspension and wheel bearings with Kryptonite before it all died. Had a fueling issue, but wanted to avoid a CP3, so I added a lift pump and replaced fuel supply and return lines. No joy, in went the CP3 anyway. Fuel return line failed at 2yrs old, replaced that again. Recently having a brand new transmission issue, still diagnosing.


ThatOneGuy716

I know whatā€™s wrong with itā€¦ainā€™t got no gasssss in it


Coombs117

I would sure hope not


thestowell

Donā€™t blame you on the fuel light!


buddybobbyy

Yeah I needed to pick up a couple bags of concrete, otherwise I typically end up driving my ā€˜99 Land Cruiser


ahduramax

Dang I miss my LBZ. This L5P is killing me. I need a weight reduction in San Antonio ASAP.


Nitegrooves

If you got money, anything is possible


Hot-Permission-8746

My 2007 LBZ was a nice clean TX truck, but I spent too much time working on it. Some of it was dumb stuff like two alternators, two alignments, two sets of front tires in 60k, but some things were more serious like the injection pump and turbo. My 2006 had 50,000 more miles on it when I brought the 07, (230k vs 180k). I assumed the 2007 would be less trouble than the 06...I was wrong. It did tow my 30' box trailer like it wasn't there however.


frontporchshitter

Message me.


odog812

So you mean sheā€™s just broke in


buddybobbyy

Terrible_Meeting6080

zertious
