Interesting video on what we all know is going on with automobiles

Keep driving it. I have a lb7 in my collection also. I'm not a duramax guy but it's better than the new options for a whole lot less money. The body is gonna rust off of it but other than that it's good to go for what I use it for.

I was hoping by 04 Dmax he was meaning 4.5 and the LLY not the LB7! My 03 LB7 was nothing but problems. Dumb design with the injector locations and no lift pump to help out the CP3. I think I dumped 12K or so in 5 years on mine just to keep it running and go from 75K - 175K on the miles.
Currently have a 15 cummins I bought new in Dec 15. Minus an issue with the DEF pump she's been solid through 140K. I don't trust the 68rfe as far as I can throw it, but I baby it, change fluids, drive like a pawpaw (my wife's words not mine)! Plan to keep it till it dies or I do because I can't afford a new one!

Lb7,lly,lmm etc, none impress me to be honest. But if he has it, keep it. I'd say I've put 12k in my 04 lb7. 45 over injectors, 10mm cp3, efi live, and a built trans (cause an Allison is an overrated *** when any more power than stock is put through it). It's just a beat around farm truck and most issues I've had was self inflicted. Duramax and powerstrokes both suck in design lol. You couldn't give me a ford.

I'm a Cummins man when it comes to light duty diesels. I have one still, no idea why you would own anything with a def tank still on it.

Smart move lol. Revmax made a good 68. If firepunk has their 68s out, I'd go that route hands down if you ever have issues. Then you won't have to worry about it again. I run nv5600s and they have took some abuse
