Good afternoon everybody,

I recently purchased a new to me 2003 Chevy lb7 I've been lurking for a while and have managed to learn some things. She has 87k miles, no issues. Not sure if injectors have been replaced as I am the second owner and the previous owner passed away. I have done 2 oil changes and one fuel and transmission filter change. Anything I should look out for? I wouldn't say I'm new to diesels but I am no expert. I've owned a 6.5 Detroit TD and a 97 7.3 powerstroke.

Thanks

Mods so far since I purchased at 84k miles:
5 inch exhaust downpipe back
PPE tuner on level 2
Leveling kit with shock extenders
S&B intake
33s on 16x9s (slight trim)
PPE boost valve

I forgot to mention, I am from Northern Delaware! Also looking for a good transmission shop around my way as I am interested in possibly going with a stage 3 suncoast at some point while keeping her as a daily.

Welcome. Your PPE should read injector rates, I would imagine at that mileage they would be OK still. Keep a clean filter on the fuel system, and run an additive, should stay healthy. Can't help on the trans shop.

87K LB7? *whistling* Dang.

George Alexander in Baltimore (?), MD. He goes by "big dipper" on the forums. Excellent builder, but hard to get ahold of.
