I am going with a freind to go look at a 05 ccsb dmax. I was wondering what the most common problems with that year was and if there is anything he should look for? Thank you

injector harness rub through right off the ficm plugs. the harness routes over the ficm bracket and has no insulation to protect it. not major or unfixable. see of it has an upgraded intake system, it would be the big round filter from the lbz trucks, it is a good indicator of an over heat condition in its lifetime.

Could I get a picture of where this is at?

Never had any problems with mine except for the tranny getting hot when towing heavy loads. Might need to upgrade the transcooler depending on how much you will be towing.
