hey guys/gals, im a new member here and im looking to buy my first duramax. i found a nice 05 lly, now the truck has 180k miles, no rust (southern truck) and overall it looks super clean. it also has 30 over injectors and a 68mm turbo, head gaskets and studs were already done. im just curious about the injectors and big turbo, could this be an issue? or should i not worry about it? thanks for any help!!

LLY’s are the biggest pieces of shit ever produced...














:rofl: JK I own 2 of them, just like every year there is always something that will need attention. 30 overs are very small injectors, the 68 charger can be a little laggy but I never minded it.

Ck the balance rates and look the truck over well, steering/suspension stuff, leaks, odd noises, etc etc.

Moved to Smoke Signals.

Id have a compression check done on the engine, plus check for blow by before buying it. Youve got no idea if it was flogged hard or not.

If I were you, I wouldnt buy a modded truck unless I knew who's truck it was and how it was run.
