Is this a truck i should look at or steer clear?
 
Im about to buy a duramax and switching from my cummins. I was looking around to get a ballpark range of the price of trucks and found a 2003 GMC duramax with 87xxx for 15,800 LT 2wd white. That price is super low.... should i steer clear of it or drive three hours to look at it? Any help would be great because im going to be doing something tommorow probably. Thanks,,

2wd? what's that?:U: LB7 all I'd watch out for would be injectors, but they have a 200k mile warranty on them

Switchin from a cummins:argh: no duramaxes are good I would at leasst test drive it and look it over good to see if he's trying to cover something up :c::pca1:

sure you can look at it, but why?

haha man my torque converter is going out, but the only thing telling me DONT switch is i replaced fuel pump,injection pump front main seal and brakes all within the past year. So if i keep the cummins i would get a 3500 aftermarket tranny from somewhere but ive heard that all aftermarket trannys are never good.... any ideas guys? Im StUMpEd:argh::argh:

also how would i be able to test injectors? i mean i guess i could "feel" the power of the truck but other then that i dont know of any way i could do that.

Injectors
 
In all honesty, I have a 2002 d-max and have gone through the bad injectors deal. I never once felt an ounce of power loss, not saying this couldnt be different from another LB7 but just a heads up, check the oil, when mine went bad their was an excessive amount of fuel in my crankcase, also call a local dealer and give them the v.i.n. to check if the recall has been done.

You would have to check balance rates using a scan tool. For the most part, if it's a good clean truck then it's worth it. If you have an injector problem GM will fix it- 7yr/200k miles :U:
