Looking for Duramax LLY or LBZ

wapawekka · Jun 6, 2024

Been scouring Facebook, offer up, and craigslist looking for an 04 (LLY only), 05, or 06 (LLY or LBZ). Crew cab, long or short bed with leather and center console. Somewhere in the $20k to $30k range. Most want too much. Anybody wanting to get rid of one or have a lead on one? Prefer under 150k miles.

It's almost comical they are selling today for nearly what they were new.

I paid $38k for my '04LB7 new.

I agree. I understand the nostalgia of them and know the value of pre-emissions trucks but it is hard to pay out that kind of money unless it is in mint condition and less then 100k miles.

The California trucks still had EGR. The LB7 did have a 49 stater without though.

Correct. Meant DPF or DEF. I'd much rather deal with an EGR then any of the current stuff. I owned a 13 Ram 3500 and a 19 Ram 3500 that had DEF problems. Want to avoid it at all costs. Plus, don't want to pay the new price tags.

Thinking about letting mine go. 2007 lbz lb cc 4x4 14x,xxx miles. No accidents, maintained, unabused, bone stock but definitely not perfect. Will be looking to get in that $ range. In San Diego (Clairemont)
