    Considering Buying LBZ Dually with 500k+ Miles

    California-owned, so there’s zero rust that I can see, but I’ll need to take a closer look. I’ll take some photos and post them if the owner allows it. The owner says maintenance has been done based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, with oil changes every 5k miles. It’s a GMC Dually, and...

    Considering Buying LBZ Dually with 500k+ Miles

    I have an opportunity to buy a 2006 LBZ Dually with 500k+ miles. The head gaskets have been redone, and it’s completely stock. The owner is asking $10k and selling because he bought a new Duramax Dually. I plan on upgrading it to manage EGT, coolant, and transmission temps, and it’ll be used...

    Failed visual test

    Did smog check(CA), everything passed except pcv. I do not have the stock parts, but I re routed it back to the intake elbow and it’s smoking like crazy out of the tail pipe. Am I missing something?

    Engine Codes while towing Heavy.

    Update: I Used my neighbors Autel to test P2563 & P0847 and everything is working fine. Going to look into the wheel hub, ABS sensor and clean up the ground on the driver side. What causes it to shift weird ? If the fixes sound pretty reasonable?

While towing everything was reading good on my Edge Monitor nothing that I was worried about. Check my transmission...

    I was in Denial about headgaskets

    Came into reality that I need my head gaskets done, so I am pricing different shops in southern california and it look like it will run me about $8,000-$10,000. They quoted me that based on the last job they did on a LLY that also had the same amount miles (225K). Does the price sound about...
