LB7: Need some advice

[Jacob tomlinson]

Okay so i have ran gassers my whole life but work on diesel tractors, im selling my 2010 gmc sierra and found a 05 dmax woth the lb7 and alli trans in it. This truck has 313k on the chassy and they guy rebuilt the trans and engine woth his dad and has pictures showing it. The engine and trans has 10k on them and they repainted the truck themselves. It is stock rebuild with studded head gaskets, 63mm turbo from pro performace and Efi live. He is asking $20k for this truck just was wondering if it is a good deal for it. He bought the truck for 6k with a blown engine and as i said they rebuilt the truck.

I think you can find something better with less mileage.

Well my budget is 24k and in north carolina diesels are way over priced 150k 04's are priced on average 26-30k

I'd be offering less than 10k....

You have no idea how well the motor work was done. Stock trans build will not hold EFI power. Walk away from this.

05 would be an lly and I see them with 200k for 14 all the time down around Wilmington and Eastern NC. Thats a rip off...

He said they got a lb7 block and built it for the truck

The blocks are virtually the same. What heads does it have?

I nust seen an 08 with 270k miles on it for $18K, so I'd scream rape to that price.

Run and look outside nc. I just moved out of Jacksonville and lbzs are high as always but llys are cheaper. I'should have sold my truck when I lived there I'm sure it would be gone in a week for 14.5k.

I found my truck in Texas for $27k. 2008 CC LB, DRW LTZ with 130k miles. Cost me $1400 to ship to California.

The LB7 with that many miles should be far less

Lb7 in 2005 didnt exist

No way in hell I'd give 20k for that truck. 10k maybe.

Run like the wind blows!

You said he's asking. Look it over well if you like it. Take the advice of the others here in the forum and give an offer that makes sense to you if it's what you want. Don't be afraid of insulting him. Most want to get more out of a truck than they put in it. Reality is, most never get their money invested back out of a built truck.
