Keeping the engine stock and without a tune is what has kept that truck going. From years working in a shop I see it all the time where guys buy a truck and put a big race tune on it and blow up the transmission or blow head gaskets or worse.

You answered your own question as to why you see them blown up. "Race tune" stock trucks can be great. A truck with an intake exhaust and small tune can make them have even better longevity than stock. With egr's dpf and def systems it can become more problematic faster and far more expensive to fix. To delete it it will get better milage and have less under hood heat as well as longevity not breathing it's own shit. Yes a race tune on a stock truck is asking for breaking things. But a decent tune on a truck with a couple mods and possibly a trans rebuild with a few upgrades like a 6 speed conversion from someone like duramax tuner. The 5 speeds on occasion would burn up clutches but built they are fine. The lly also would occasionally overheat too under certain conditions even bone stock. It was rare though. The lbz (06-07)was basically flawless other than minor interior issues like this had and the lmm(07.5-10) had some interior issues but very minor and shared engine architecture with the lbz. Lbz's will crack pistons with big tunes but stock or "tastefully" tuned and modified they are great. Saying tuning is bad basically is a huge misconception because of those diesel douchebags who crank it to tune 11 and blow them up 4 times before moving on saying all diesels are trash

@@jaredanthony8070 I'd put money on a stock setup lasting much longer (engine and trans) than even a mild tune and supporting mods. You can change shift points for towing but then you deal with higher trans fluid temps (unless it's manual of course) and if you put a tune on the engine all you are doing is dumping more fuel causing higher egt's and putting extra stress on the stock turbo. It's a rabbit hole... I care for fleet vehicles mostly and some of the trucks see heavy abuse. We tried the tuner thing with a few vehicles (per customer request) trying to get better fuel economy/ better towing ability and it ended up costing them more money in the long run. If you plan on trading in evey 2 years then sure! but adding a tune, exhaust and intake to a truck that already has 200k miles is just asking for trouble

@jaredanthony8070

@@jamessweeten6926 it's not just dumping more fuel in. It's small amounts across the map to make it run more powerfully efficient. It changes injector timing to burn better at a higher compression moment. You remove restrictions from the exhaust and free up the exhaust flow letting the turbo breathe easier reducing drive pressure. You put an intake on reducing egts. At the same time full delete the truck removing what emissions equipment it has further reducing egts. Less restrictions in and out mean better flow and cooler air. You work on fleet trucks. Trucks that are beat to shit every day by someone who has zero investment in it. It doesn't matter what you or the company does to them they still will be floored up every hill getting that trailer to where it needs to be no matter what those gauges say. Trans could be welding its clutches together and they would just push the pedal harder. Mild tunes with proper modifications will improve milage and longevity in a personal vehicle. Emissions equipment especially kills vehicles faster than anything when properly maintained and used by normal people. A full delete and "stock" tunes will be a safe bet for longevity. Stock from the factory trucks are only tuned to run the cleanest emissions they can. It may include a huge lean curve in fuel maps which could become an issue. It could run them at a high temperature to help burn more carbon dioxide per cf of air. They don't necessarily tune them for longevity. There is a 1 million mile lml duramax fully deleted that went around recently. It is bone stock other than the delete and supportive mods and the few things that failed along the way like alternators. Its not just stock but what it rolled out of the factory with. New engines are becoming more reliable and if it wasnt for the emission equipment which engineers themselves say is what will be the death of those engines they could last for as long as they are maintained really.

LLY were known for HG even on stock trucks. GM dropped the ball and added a EGR cooler without upgrading the rest of the cooling system and put a shitty turbo mouth piece on them. Remove the EGR cooler and swap out the mouth piece and you're usually good to go. There are of course exceptions...usually people who don't tow or don't tow heavily. That's why HG issues are mostly on 04.5-05 trucks. 06 LLYs had the upgraded cooling that the LBZ got.

Trust me when I say this Taylor. Fix EVERYTHING that it needs & maintain the shit out of it. These are one of the best generations of Duramax. I owned an LLY & it was the best purchase I've ever made. Bought a crew cab short bed SLT brand new & within 200 miles I did a 4" lift - 18x12 wheels - 35" Toyo M/T's - deleted, chipped & tuned + 5" turbo back exhaust & put over 150,000 miles on it. Most comfortable/reliable tow rig I've ever owned. I'd trade in my LP5 for a brand new LLY in a heartbeat.

Rancho 9000 and new cab mounts with the hydraulic rear mount. Guaranteed it will ride like a Cadillac.

I have a 2011 gmc 2500hd diesel that I purchased in 2019 with 93,000 miles. I only have 112,000 now, but have had only a few issues. The oxygen sensor got stuck and had to purchase a new catalytic converter. Nothing else to complain about! This was a one owner truck and meticulously maintained. Got it for 29,000. Keep up the great videos!

Good thing you got a good year. My dad has a 2002 crewcab, 2500, about 120k miles, owned it since 2004. For the past year or so, fuel has been leaking into the crankcase, he changes the oil about every two months even though we only drive it now to tow stuff. We just towed a 6500lb 89 Chevy loaded with toolboxes and tools and it handled like a champ. But don't think for a second we didn't have a backup vehicle. They want insane money at the dealer to change the injectors, recall or not, and he's not even sure if that's the problem. Either he's going to run it til it dies or trade it in.

Good video. As a 30 year auto tech, nearly 20 of it for GM. I have not seen a ton of the supposedly "known for" problems that people always say. Since 2001 I may have replaced 6 sets of injectors and one set didn't cure the problem on an 02 lb7. Ended up being the injector cups. Only 1 Allison issue but that was caused by neglect. The gentleman knew he had a leak but kept driving it anyways.

I've had mine for about a year also. Had to replace the FPR and one I injector because it got stuck open. Put 15k on it and I'm loving as much as I did when I test drove it. Did 5100s, turbo inlet, 5 in straight, and EFI live tuning. Still haven't replaced my actuator for the recirculation door, but it's been extremely good to me.

My 06 duramax has been hands down my favorite truck/vehicle. I’ve owned about 12 cars so far and I’ll never sell it. Put like 70k on it in around 2 years, towing, beating the hell out of it on tunes and it’s awesome. I’ll keep it forever. Sitting at 260k miles now

Easy fix thought. Besides that loved that truck. Towed a 35 foot travel trailer with no issues at all.

@Taylor Ray , recommend upgrading the crankshaft balancer. Engine harmonics have caused some high mileage engines to break crankshafts. Helping bro change out a 08 lmm truck with a broken crank with 330k kms or 207k miles. Tho the previous owner took poor care of the engine. Keep it up!

Or since you have the camper, just use a piece of 1/4 plywood, trim it to fit the wheel wells. It will slide on the plastic bed liners in those trucks. Just put a handle on it near the tailgate so you can pull on it easier.

These GM trucks have a "secret" storage compartment in them. If you pull the cupholder plastic straight up it will pop out and reveal a pretty big area to keep stuff that you want out of sight. We would keep the GPS and a few other electronics in there in our Suburban when we had it.

I had the same issue with my window switch panel, rear ac blend doors, ac/heat actuator, and my heated seats. Driver side acted funny but passenger side worked. Otherwise it was a great everyday truck.

My buddy had a topper on his obs f250 idi and he put a fold out couch back there so in summer events at rallycross we would unload it and sleep in that or just chill in there to get out of the sun. I just wish it was the same color as his truck.

Blend door actuator can be reached without taking the dash out. I did it on my suburban. It's above the throttle. It took 45 minutes to change it

Buddy of mine has a Duramax with 500k miles on original engine and transmission with heavy towing all it's life.( Hauls lead all over) no major issues. Needles to say I just got one to upgrade my service truck to.

Taylor, was wondering if you've been rotating the tires on the truck? Knobby truck tires can get fairly loud over time if you don't rotate them regularly. Perhaps different tread design might be better ride wise or even add bags to the rear springs. I have a 3500, so the rear springs are super stiff, but found my tires were the big factor in ride comfort. Some videos on fixing those minor issues (seat heater, etc) would be good and it would be nice to get those things addressed before your next road-trip.

And 8800.00 is a killer deal for how nice of condition yours is in, in Washington state even with those miles that’s a 12000-14000 truck being 4x4.

I also knew that no matter what I bought, it would need the egr deleted. The only other major problem with the 6.0 I was worried about was the oil cooler. I now have the headstuds, gaskets, and upgraded oil cooler sitting here waiting to be installed. But I’m not doing it until something fails. I’m very happy with it.

Nice truck, I have a 2006 2500 dmax.

Still rockin a first gen 4x4 5 speed bag of bricks is pretty much right.i tell people if i was to hit a quarter you can tell which side its on

I have a 2010 dodge hemi 280xxxkm on it and a guy with a 02 durmax wants to trade his has 450xxxkm not sure if that's a good trade or not any thoughts?

Thanks for the video. Currently looking for a tow rig around the same price. Good to know to get the 2004 and up!

2004.5! You can check the vin and verify it’s a LLY.

The trucks beforehand are great, too, if they've been taken care of. Take a look at my cold start video that I just posted! I have an '02, LB7, and it runs great! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Anybody know if you gotta rebuild a duramax v8 engine after so many miles or will it go into diesel runaway if you don’t replace the seals
