Question: Looking @ HIGH milage lbz
- Thread starter farmtrucklb7
- Start date
06 LiLLY's had the six speed too.
Just check the eighth digit of the VIN
If it has a 6 speed, it is an LBZ motor detuned. It has absolutely nothing in common with a true LLY other the HP. The VIN will tell you it is an LLY but truely is an LBZ. The code in the glove box will say LLY, BUT if it has a 6 speed, it is realistically an LBZ
I have 7 4X4 GMC/Chevy trucks currently and None have 4X4 stickers
u must have the cheap ones then ... we only use ours to go from stop to stop an count money.

Why is it that 2/3rd's of the crap you post makes no sense?
I personally do not like the factory door moldings, 4X4 stickers etc. I have removed them on MY trucks as I prefer the look without them as many others do Im sure. Point being just because the truck in this thread does not have 4X4 stickers did not rule it out as a POSSSIBLE 4 wheel drive truck (To ME). Are We clear yet? If not feel free to continue P.M.ing me with your non sense so we do not have to further clutter up this thread :thumb:
I was just gonna say that Kyle. My hours reset when I replaced the batteries. The truck has 140k and only 4xx some hours. My avg speed would be somewhere around 300 mph! :rofl:
Provided the hour meter didn't reset itself like mine has done somehow, IMO you cant put to much faith in the hour meter
opps i see I was way late with this comment, sorry

The hour meter is stored in non-volatile memory in the cluster. Meaning, disconnecting the batteries wont reset it.
However, there is a "glitch" in the cluster software that, if the batteries are getting weak and the voltage drops too low during cranking, it CAN cause it to reset.
LLY's seem to do it the worst.
My truck has reset probably 6 or 7 times over 200k miles. Ive had the batteries disconnected much more times than that. And ive left the truck with batteries disconnected for months and it didnt reset. Yet then I would notice at random times while im driving (and the batteries havent been disconnected in forever), ill look down and the hour meter says 1.6 hours or something.
There is no common thread with the hour meters resetting... its NOT "when you disconnect the batteries, it resets"
and while we're on the topic of instrument clusters, if you suspect a truck your buying has "odometer fraud", you can tell if the cluster has been replaced. On your build sheet, GM tracks serial numbers of lots of main components that each truck leaves the factory with. ABS modules, engine serial numbers, trans serial numbers, instrument cluster serial numbers, airbag module serial numbers, and much more. So get the dealer to print your build sheet, look at the instrument cluster serial number on the build sheet....and then look at the actual serial number on the instrument cluster itself. If they are different, then you know the cluster has been replaced. If you have a tech 2, you dont even have to remove the cluster to check the sticker for the serial number....you can just ask the cluster what its serial number is with the Tech 2.

I feel ya dog :thumb: that's why there are a million threads about whether the person has an LLY or an LBZ. GM just having to make things difficult lol.
Truck looks like a good buy man.
Thanks for the explanation Ben! I was wondering what happened and why it doesn't do it every time the batteries are disconnected.
