Got a buddy who is looking for a 06+ Dmax so I am trying to help him find one, well its actually my dad's buddy who's 65 he's not exactly computer literate so I am just trying to learn a little more... and he's an old guy he can't help but love the ride of the dmaxes... I cant lie guys your trucks ride sweet! I told him I thought the Dmax would be the best thing for his needs,

( and im sure you guys have been asked his a million times so I apologize)

I cant go into why as I have not ever own any of them (LLY or LBZ) and I have yet to have a stock anything for more then 3 weeks.

I am sure others here will have better info then I.

Ya I prefer the lbz put out of all of them. No emmissions crap, most power from the factory, 6 speed Allison vs the 5 speed in the 01-05 trucks, gear selector for towing, prefer the classic bodystyle and it gets pretty good gas mileage.

The lb7s (01-04) were the ones with the injector issues. The lly's tend to have cooling issues because of the intake mouthpiece which is easily fixable. Lbz don't really have any big issues at stOck power levels and the problems with lmms are the dpf which is also easily fixed

Thanks James! thats the kinda info I was looking for!! cuz I know thats what he is gonna ask me which one gets the best fuel mileage etc etc and tranny... he is pretty smart when it comes to vehicles he just isnt up to par on whats what, I mean I keep up with the diesel world pretty good and all these different versions of the Dmaxes confuse me :rofl:

So an LBZ def sounds like the direction I should lead him towards
