What's considered high miles on the LB7's ?
 

Hey there, in the market for a new (used) truck, would like to stick with a GM considering that's pretty much all I ever bought, but was wondering how the duramax holds up once the get up there in the miles. My price range is getting me trucks with around 150,000 miles on um and I would be planing on keeping it for awhile at least another 100,000

Thanks!

150,000 isnt too bad at all:hellox:

not bad, see if you can get a history and see if it has had any inectors replaced

i bought mine with 137,000 and now i have 260,000 and no issues

i have 03. that went from fairbanks ak to prudo bay oil fields on a dirt road. bought the truck for 10k with 290,000 and it just rolled over 340,000 and still running strong.

Nice! Those are the kinda numbers I was hoping to hear! Have you had any major problems?

Injectors are the biggest issue with the LB7, if the injectors have been changed to a newer style they should last much longer:hellox:

i hade to replace the fuel pump at 305,000 miles and a fan cluch at 320,000. then little things the only thing tht i dont like about it is it eats light bulbs like there going out of style. but i love the truck

:tu:My LB7 has 437,000 miles on it, replaced head gasket at 367,000 miles, two sets of injectors replaced, still running on the original transmission, and pull a 40' gooseneck in the gas fields of Towanda, Pa for the past year...... I wouldnt even sweat it as long as it was taken care of.
