New guy with a new (to me) LLY

[Mr.T]

Figures I'd join up and see if I can learn a bit about this new truck I got. My previous ride was a 2002 LB7, she treated me really good and never gave me any trouble, but my wife and I decided to upgrade and we found a 2004 LLY with low miles for a good price so we snatched it up, this is hands down the cleanest 04 I've ever seen and so far I love it.

Welcome man llys the headgasket pukers:rofl:

 

[Mr.T]

From doing some light reading yesterday (4+ hours) it seems that with a few upgrades, the head gasket issues seem to all but disappear. This one only has 100,000 miles on it and its never towed anything in its life, so I hold out hope that an EGR delete, PCV reroute, intake upgrade. And a downpipe/exhaust upgrade will keep my head gaskets nice and solid, keep my temps down, and help the fuel mileage. That's the thought process anyway.....

Looks like a clean solid truck, just don't expect that lb7 fuel milage from it! My truck gets a best of 17-18mpg with the wind at my back going grandma speed :rofl: my old lb7 would get over 20mpg pretty easy.

I'm not expecting the 21-22 I could get out of that one, but I'm gonna try to get close! Haha

Must be nice, my Lb7 gets like 10mpg.... considering it is a 4x4

My lb7 was too. It'd get 14-15 in town and around 20 on the highway all hand calc

That's mine. CCSB 4x4 and I averaged 15-17 in town and 19-21 on the highway.

I got 22.5 highway in my LLY but that's with a VERY high flowing efficient charger.
