Title: Is this Chevy Diesel any good? What do you know?
Post by: Trigger05-11 on April 03, 2019, 08:46:50 PM: This Truck just went up for sale in Yakima. One owner and very clean. $19K seems like a decent price for a Duramax with 66,000 miles. What do you guys know about the 2007 model? Is this a decent price if the truck checks out? I looked up the owner. Looks like a very nice older gentleman.

Thanks

Mine has 212,000 miles still runs like a dream. Average 18 all around. Easily over 20 if hiway or keep my foot out of it. Pulls incredibly well. The 6 speed Allison is awesome. I'm assuming 4wd and base model? That's the exact same truck as mine but a year newer. I paid $21000 for mine 6 years ago and it was a good deal then. Lots of them selling for $25000 and up. I would buy that truck in a heart beat if I was in the market. But I would also look it over real good first.

Post by: dewandgin on April 03, 2019, 09:53:11 PM: Buy the truck if you are in the market for it. That is a steal. 07 Classic is the moat desirable one out there. My 07 has 168k and runs awesome.

Post by: Dhoey07 on April 05, 2019, 10:35:54 AM: I bought my '06 LBZ 7 years ago for 30k. It has 125k on it now and I have put new tranny lines, shocks and glow plugs in it. At 60k you'll want to do the tranny fluid and filter if it hasn't been done. It's been a great truck for me.

Post by: HntnFsh on April 05, 2019, 11:12:25 AM: Tranny fluid recommended at 75000. TES295 approved fluid. Internal filter is lifetime. Just change the spin on every other oil change. Use only AC delcofuel filter. Changed my leaky tranny lines too.
