Nice truck, no visible smoke, coolant reservoir is clear, injectors tick sounds healthy, no boost leaks from the sound while driving. 109k miles low miles, no hitch In the bed so wasn’t used to towed a lot. All in all that’s a clean truck.

That's exactly why I own an 02 durmax and my dad has an 87 silvarado longbed. U can't break them if u tried lol. Sure the interiors ain't as nice as the cummins and powerstroke but u just can't beat silvarados they are always the best. I love mine so much haha

I love this generation, The GMT800 with LB7 Duramax is probably my favorite Diesel/Truck combination of all time for a pick up. I don't like the newer styles personally and these LB7s are powerhouses. You can get 900whtq and over 400rwhp easily with simple bolt on upgrades and a tuner. Amazing power.

Agreed, especially 12 years later!

If there is one thing I have noticed through these vids is that the Duramax is definately a quieter then the 5.9 Cummins and the 7.3/6.0 Powerstroke! I love Chevys!

Gotta love hearing that Alison transmission shifting. Just clean smooth shifts every time.

I’m glad to have found this video. I’ve been wanting one of these 01-02 Duramax trucks for 8 years now and I believe I found one I want to pull the trigger on. These rigs are hands down my favorite Edit: I ended up buying the truck and it has not disappointed me one bit. You just have to know when buying an LB7, you have to save for injectors because they will go out. I just did mine and I love the truck even more now

Thanks to this guy I finally decided what truck I want thank you my good sir

The owner traded that truck in at 109k because it needed injectors you can get tell when he revs it you see white smoke caused by injectors leaking and burning more fuel.

JDFan98 its called hazing it happens over age. If you have 1 or 2 faulty injectors you should replace them all, it is a costly job and no point waiting for the rest to go and having to repeat the same process. This truck is nice- shame its 2wd.

Mine is pretty well equally clean but is an LT. Amazing truck, my favorite vehicle I've owned!

As a Ram owner. 97 360 V8 i think a Duramax is my next truck. Even tho the ram is with me for life

I got to say that as someone who drives this everyday I have no complaints 🖒🖒

look like Andre's duramax but the rims and tail lights, grill different, aftermarket exhaust, same color from the fast lane truck.

My dad just got a 04 gmc duramax very nice

Im not really a fan of Chevy, but i love the interiors of late 90's early 2000's. And those power specs are more than i had ever expected. Its an eye opener XD.

the front ends on these trucks look so good

As much as I love the sound of the Dodge Ram cummins Kyle test drove a while back this truck is a hell of a lot more refined inside.

The cummins definitely has that 6 cyl whiney raspy sound, with an aftermarket exhaust it always reminds me of an 18 wheeler tractor trailor. The powerstroke always has a distinct whistle to me along with a slight v8 sound. The duramax definitely reminds me of a typical Detroit Diesel 4 stroke V8 like the 6.2, 6.5 as well as the medium duty 8.2L fuel pincher of the 1980s. it has a real throaty V8 diesel clack with a slight turbo whistle.

This is the best looking Chevy ever! I just wish he would have offered some feedback on how this model compares with the Ford and Dodge where drivability is concerned. Isn't that the point of a test drive?

by far the best hd diesel out there! the 6.0 powerstroke sucks and the cummins in the ram outlasts the truck it self, the chevy has the best ride and is the most refined by far.

great video,more trucks please.love the sound

Where do you find such clean older model trucks like this they look brand new

I like this kind of truck not to fancy but very nice daily driver

Yup Jeremy is right it is a straight pipe

can you test drive the new 2019 ford f450 platinum dually

@whatthehallbetch If you hook up a mechanical gauge up to it, you'll notice the gauge in the dash stays the same whereas the mechanical gauge will go up and down. Not sure why they included a gauge if it's not functional. If I remember right, there were a few reflashes for the last Jeeps to have them (Grand Cherokees, Wranglers and Cherokees with the 4.0) that turned the oil pressure gauge into a fake one too!

Im a Ford guy. But the Duramax is a great engine. Only a fool would disagree. All the arguing is pointless. All engines have their pros and cons.

gotta love the play in the steering, i got a 04 f250 that does the same thing haha

"Without further adUE, I bring you this two-thousand and TWO", haha it rymed

@whatthehallbetch He is *kind of* right. On a lot of engines, the location of the oil pressure sending unit is such that if the engine sludge up and plugs the pick up for oil it will peg the oil pressure gauge at the max. A cold engine is going to have higher oil pressure anyway.

is that the original steering wheel? ive been looking for a 2500HD with a steering wheel like that but cant seem to find one?

Such a shame that the LB7s have insanely expensive injectors. Also, this is the best Chevy truck design imo.

I for some reason like the Duramax more than the Powerstroke in terms of reliability and sound. The Duramax has a throatier rasp to it. But when it comes to sheer pulling torque the Cummins paired to a Allison manual transmission is where it is at. And I am a Chevy fan myself. I have just seen too many Powerstokes broke down or blowing up.

If My dad owned it we would enjoy it

why cant they just make a duramax and a cummins mix because there both great engins!!!!!!!

Duramaxs and allison transmissions will last forever as long as you take care of em.

@MrChevyman95 this has the lb7.... lb7 was the first then in 04.5 came the lly. In 06 they switched to a different lly that basically was the same as the lbz just lower power. The lbz came in 06.5. After that was the LMM and now the LML
