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!

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.

I just bought my first Duramax it’s a 2002 GMC 2500 HD. I’ve owned many OBS trucks before including Ford 7.3 and GM 6.5’s. I’m pleased so far with this LB7 and look forward to getting it just right. 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!

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

Have had to address instrument cluster twice, transfer case, lb7 injectors twice plus a few electrical gremlins. With that I still enjoy driving and using this vehicle for towing. Will keep repairing over purchasing a replacement due to new vehicle cost. Got lucky and have a rust free unit but located in central Missouri. You can trust the review by thoroughbred diesel.

A little tuning and with a southbound flywheel and clutch. I have no envy of the guys in their high dollar L5P trucks and all the epa crap with it.

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.

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.

That's all I know but man I don't know what level of performance it's at with the program. It was fast enough to 60 and it had way more it was a blast to drive. I am just looking for a used car or truck. My wife and I need another vehicle. I am not a diseal guy but WOW after I drove this GMC. I gotta buy this is the farm might let me it was some much fun.

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.

If the rockers are rusty no doubt the leaf springs and chassis is a bit rusty too.

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?

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.

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

@@kennethklaumann8799 Thanks for the response. This would be my first diesel I’ve ever owned. And from the looks of it. It seems like high mileage on these engines isn’t much of an issue.

Mine is a 2002 and looks just like the one in this video I would say get an adapter for the fuel filter and go with spin on filters as opposed to the junk that it's on there now my truck was a California emissions truck I took the smog pump off and I have yet to do the blocker plates or the up pipe I may just get rid of the EGR with block plates for now tie rod ends are terrible on these trucks

Looking at buying an 04, currently has a white smoke issue. So I should let it warm up, then come back a few hours later and check the radiator hose to check for pressure? The truck is in really good condition overall condition.
@thoroughbreddiesel 3 жыл бұрын
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.
