01 LB7 owner here, wanted to add 2 things: 1.) You can get a kit for a 6-speed tranmission, if the stock 5-speed bothers you. 2.) Not all LB7s are created equal. California LB7s(YF5 code) are different than the Federal(FE9) LB7s in that Federal has no CAT/EGR. I always recommend a lift pump for LB7s, keep those injectors clean with clean diesel!

@thoroughbreddiesel 4 года назад

Great points

@evanch123456 4 года назад

Do you personally run the 6 speed kit? Always been interested...

@tyrelgranger8105 4 года назад

The 6 speed is only for someone that really uses it for long drive but doesn’t pull a trailer because you really won’t use 6th and yeah the Cali trucks have egr and the heads do not flow as well as federal trucks

My old auto teacher has an LB7 Duramax, and when I showed interest in a Duramax, he told me to avoid early LB7s because of the injectors and head gaskets.

@berntout3697 2 года назад

In 2012 while working on a pipeline project in Kentucky I had the pleasure to meet Wade and Adam at Thoroughbred Diesel. I managed to convince them to install new stock Bosh matched injectors an air dog fuel preparator and and an NP271 heavy duty transfer case with custom made drive shafts. The next year I installed Eaton eLockers Front (electric) and rear differential lockers. A PPE tuner set at 90 hp and PPE oil spinner filter round out my 02 Extended Cab GMC Duramax with Allison AT. Like Wade, I really have enjoyed this truck, it exclusivley pulls my 5th wheel with Jeep behind to jobs around the country. It still brings a smile everytime I drive it....trouble free for all these years and miles. It was a fantastic experience workingvm with Wade,, Adam both knowledgeable folks. I do no regret for one second the money I invested into this truck at Thoroughbred Diesel.

Just picked up a 2004 duramax dually. Was a 2 owner truck. Originally from Vermont, then upstate new york and now its in pa. All very salty states. And this thing has zero body rust. I had to replace the whole steering system and body mounts, but other than that, just some surface rust on the frame I will repaint. No broken plastic, no broken parts anywhere and no ripped seats. The LT model . even all the buttons have all white writing that isnt rubbed off from continuous touching. I found a gem. And didn't pay big jeweler price for it. By far my favorite vehicle of all-time. Ive had 39 vehicles in my life so ive had many others to compare against. Dont be afraid of any LB7 shortcomings.

It has only 256,800 miles. It seems to run well and I’ve only had to change out the water pump so far in the first month. Thank you Sir for these videos and your channel, it is an excellent resource for repairs and potential upgrade options!

I know im blessed looking at that Duramax engine bay compared to my 03 5.9 HO Cummins; working on it is child's play.

@Diddley-js6lf 4 года назад

Myles Swann that’s what I say all the time, the HO 5.9 is the very same motor that they use for most Schools Bus’s because of the durability, power, and no maintenance for the most part. I have to say I loved it when all you needed was a 12 volt wire and Some fuel and you were rolling, unlike today when you need five techs to fix one stupid problem. Kudos to Dodge in the Motor department but their 98 truck was the very worst truck I have ever owned, but it was a gas motor that’s when I looked at all three truck manufacturers drove all three and at the time Dodge didn’t offer a very big crew and with my children I had to go with GM at that point and the Duramax has been great but my heart if I am honest has always been with the Cummings motor and the kill proof Shakers. Loll

@braxtonearly7338 4 года назад

2004 lb7 owner, when replacing injectors if you haven’t already upgrade your banjo bolts on the return lines, the stock ones are not deep enough to get an Allen wrench in without stripping them out so therefore you can’t get them torqued to the right spec and that will also cause fuel to leak into your crank case as well, the injectors were replaced and still got fuel leaking in the crank case and a buddy told me about the banjo bolt issue and that fixed the issue and like someone else said, a lift pump is a must weather you are at stock hp or wanting to create more hp, that will also help the longevity of your cp3 and injectors other than that I absolutely love the truck

@carltonegarage8624 3 года назад

I've loved the GMT800 platform since they came out, and I've owned 2 of them, but I've never had a Dmax. Every time i ever considered buying one in the past though, the injector issues scared me away from the LB7 specifically. After talking to some experienced techs though, the overall simplicity has drawn me to them despite its downfalls. So I'm picking up an '04 dually tomorrow for a pretty good deal since it has a crank-but-no-start condition. It just shut off while driving, and they can't get it to start. We'll see what I find when I pick it up tomorrow and diagnose it.

My 2001 made it to 165000 miles with bad injectors dropping diesel into the crank case and the dealer told me it wasn’t a injector issue it was a pump problem that was going to be recalled next. so he said to drive it. Then it started losing power and traded it in on a new one in 2009. I feel like I should sue that dealer for the loss I took on the trade in since my motor was shot. I’m sure he lied to me about the injectors.

@thoroughbreddiesel 3 года назад

Thank you! P0093 could come from a couple of different areas possibly developing on your truck, high side fuel system related. I suggest driving with some sort of ability to monitor actual vs commanded fuel rail pressure while towing just to see how low it gets. Switching over to a external lift pump, Airdog, FASS, etc. would be a good upgrade to start with. After that, suspect injectors, weak cp3 or cascade valve.

@thoroughbreddiesel 3 года назад

White smoke at idle is usually going to be an injector condition, which is common in Lb7 trucks. Unrelated but yes, drive truck and get to operating temp and check upper radiator hose after it has been shut off for an hour or so. If you have pressure on radiator hose after that time, beware of head gasket or injector cup.

I have been thinking of making a offer on one thats been sitting, 2002 1 ton dually, 170k km, been sitting for 3 maybe 4 years, needs 4 new tires, and the frame is solid but needs cleaned up, and just a little bit of work and tlc, otherwise seems in very good shape, has had injectors already done too, any suggestions? I don’t really have a purpose for one of these but it would be a dream truck i live in the salt belt i wouldnt plan to drive it in the salt, and just overall preserve and enjoy it,

I think you covered a lot of the things that you look for there. If the price is right, and you know what to look for with these trucks, you will be just fine! Put fresh fuel in it before you try to start it.

I have an ally and it has a knocking sound when at idle but gets worse when in gear and stopped. When driving or accelerating it goes away. Any pointers?

Cracked flywheel?

What about a 2003 automatic transmission

@nickcary7175 4 года назад

Was the pump rub issue on the manual shift transfercase or push button or both?

@thoroughbreddiesel 4 года назад

Both. The 261 and the 263 TC had the pump rub issue.

Do a buyer's guide on a 2011 6.7 cummins

@thoroughbreddiesel 4 года назад

Noted. Maybe in the future!

500k engine ..50k truck

@michaellangdonful 3 года назад

So I’m guessing avoid buying an lb7 Duramax and just buy an LBZ?

@PhilD54 4 года назад

Do maybe a 6.0 buyers guide

How can you tell if injectors have been replaced when looking at one to buy?

@nfdbb6906 3 года назад

You can test them not sure what it called but there are videos on how to test them.

@jeffreydickinson6202 Год назад

Thinking of buying one tomorrow, very helpful video

Hey I just bought one of these its a 2004 and I was just wondering when I've been driving amd then slow down and get down to idle like 5 mph ish or at a red light it starts to smoke a little bit of whiteish blue smoke. Anyone know what it would be?

@thoroughbreddiesel Год назад

Start with checking our balance rates, +/- 4 is the spec. If all in balance, then you probably are going to have to use a block off tool to find the injector culprit.

@gerryortiz7276 Месяц назад

If on budget should I get a gas 2500HD or a diesel 2500HD?

@thoroughbreddiesel Месяц назад

I have an 2002 GMC Duramax LB7 with 101k miles. Is my truck still covered under the 200k mile warranty for the Injectors?

@thoroughbreddiesel 10 месяцев назад

I believe it will be out on the age of the truck. Check with your local dealer though.

I'm looking at 01 2500 gmc truck , has the allison trans...guy wants 7gs....isit worth that...?? 177ooo miles

@thoroughbreddiesel Год назад

01-02’s are bad for head gaskets and injector issues. Take this into consideration when buying.

@alexwalters1403 4 года назад

Talk about the LBZ

@thoroughbreddiesel 4 года назад

Patience!

@darrencombs5483 Год назад

This is a dumb question but are all the duramaxs for this year manuals?

@thoroughbreddiesel Год назад

Duramax only had manual shift through the 2007, ended with the LBZ’s.

@darrencombs5483 Год назад

Ahhh ok thanks
