A guy I know proposed a trade for my truck, mine is a 2wd 07 ecsb LT LBZ with 93k miles lifted. His is an 03 ccsb LT 4x4 Lb7 95k miles also lifted. Mods are both the same, mild tunes and exhaust, both in excellent condition. I was planning on building my trans and keeping the truck, but should I trade and have the cc 4x4 before I build a trans?
Trade LBZ ecsb for Lb7 ccsb??

Your going to lose, your manual shift button, 6 sp. and have to worry about doing an injector job sometime around 100k +/- and every 100k after that unless you throw a new top end on it and rewire, I know the 4x4 would be nice but I'd stick with the LBZ and not have to worry about losing the injectors
Lol its ultimately up to you but i like my lb7 but the injectors are a huge downfall if your ok with injectors going bad then you'll be good but id stay lbz make it 4x4 if you want a project lol 
Ya the six speed is very nice to have, and I rarely if ever need 4x4 but it is nice to have along with the crew cab. This is tough because of the injectors though..
haha i do like the way both motors run..
No that was some guy blowing smoke, the only way to cure the injector problem is to go to a LLY or LBZ top end
Depends on what you mean by "run as well as a LBZ". they both will run very well if kept up to par and both would last a very long time as well. Stock for stock, the LBZ will walk a LB7
My truck is nice and very well maintained, his needs a few minor things but only has 75k miles, it is a 4x4, ccsb, leather, and has a nice fabtech lift on it. He just paid to put injectors in it so I think that is alot of the reason why he wants to trade.
He has only had an edge juice on it, and I plan to build a transmission either way so I thought this may be a good deal.
why are you wanting the LB7? what benifits are you seeing that are making this a worth while concideration?!?!
I dont see any motor or trans benefits, but I think they are reliable aside from injectors. I would gain the crew cab, 4x4, 20k less miles, and a better lift kit. Other than that my truck has the six speed/LBZ, better interior package, and alittle better body style.
Well then i guess its really up to you at this point. all your gunna get from us is opinion and when your deciding on a truck, its your opinion that counts. with that said, id stick with the LBZ. your resale value is gunna be better in the long run.
I would stick with Lbz, my play truck has 180,000 and tow rig 190,000 both Lbz
I had a lb7 before them with twins, bigger injectors and my stock lbz went faster with just a lift, pump, tune, and exhaust. Lb7 is a strong motor, but after 3 sets of injectors, it gets old

Keep the lbz. Lower it, throw a built trans, bigger tunes, and some slicks on it and after one pass u will b glad u kept it.
I have no use for a 2wd truck newer than 1972. I'd be looking for a 4wd regardless of whether you trade or not.
Are you proposing an even trade key-for-key?
LBZ & 6-spd w/ tap shift would be hard to lose but 2wd is least desirable FOR ME.
