We’re the same age Dustin. My dad had the lbz duramax when I was in middle & high school. I will definitely get one soon. Pure nostalgia of my childhood 🔥🔥
I’m so happy I found my LBZ over a year ago for a good price! She was bone stock with low miles, I remember seeing and riding in one as a kid and have always wanted one since then. The GMC Sierra 2500 was my calling! Looks better, sounds better, and runs better than all of its other competitors! Got my 18inch XD Grenade Wheels from you guys on 33s for my LBZ! One of the nicest upgrades to compliment my Fender Flares and the body of my truck! More upgrades (mainly performance) to be done but I love it!
I bought my lbz in late 2005(2006) model. All I did was put a Banks air cleaner, dual exhaust, and six gun tuner. It’s still rockin today in 2021. Best truck I’ve ever owned. Still have the original factory brake pads, they’re at50% wear. Had to replace front wheel bearings from running to hard in desert sand and a module switch in the 4 wheel drive. But that’s the only 2 things to ever be in the shop. What an awesome truck.
2007 LBZ here. Great truck. But I always keep my eyes out for a Dodge 12 valve. Their simplicity is valuable. If I found a Dodge, I would still never sell my LBZ. Stay gold.

2007 LBZ (3×) owner here. 1.6 million miles on my 3 trucks. LBZ with the 6 speed Allison is a vastly superior powertrain! When I bought my first one new, I did not get a call from chevrolet, I got a call from Allison, "how do you like your new transmission?" Fantastic customer relations! Thank you so much!
Love my LBZ with a passion, wake up every day and I’m excited to drive it. only thing I wish they would’ve done different is make the front suspension and steering a little tougher lol
I absolutely love all the Cat Eyes. They are just so amazing. A cat eye avalanche was my first truck ever and i will never sell it. I will just get a 2007 Classic Silverado 2500HD when times comes.
Well, I must like the lbz. I have a 2007 Duran max HD crew cab with the classic body style and standard bed. I have used it to pull 2 different fifth wheels and all I have ever had to do is change the oil and filter, air filter and have the transmission serviced ever 30,000k.

I own an lbz and it is by far the most reliable and with a little money they are fast asf and of course powerful! my second choice would be an lb7 both the best duramaxes with lots of potential although I haven't driven an L5P yet
I bought my first Duramax LB7, 2001 2500HD 92,000 miles tow tune K&N breather. The sharpest 01 around been garage kept. One owner, I am the 2nd owner . Very tight truck.
Own an 06 LBZ. Love it! Now, making big power, above what I have, which is only around 440hp, you have to upgrade the trans. That’s where shit gets real and pockets need to get deep! Still fun and sounds cool!

There’s a dealer in Eureka, Missouri called Gateway Car Connection that specializes in old, near mint condition trucks. I bought a bone stock 07’ 2500 classic with 50k miles last summer from them and I couldn’t be happier. I had to pay $45k for it but you could argue it was an upgrade from my 18’ dually Ram.
Super late, but I can relate seeing them for the first time….. I had a neighbor who had one he named it “ Big Red . I would always hear him start it up in the morning while I was waiting on the school bus and ever since I’ve fell in love and on the search to purchase my own. 😂
Absolutely. I have two of them, both over 300k. They are totally solid and reliable trucks when taken care of. Don’t do all the stupid performance mods to them and they’ll run forever
Had 2 LB7's and currently own an LBZ and I would have a hard time buying another lb7 or any other diesel for that matter. I'd buy another lbz without hesitation.
My LBZ is a '07 and still runs and drives like new with 275k on it. I attribute it's fantastic driving characteristics to having never ruined it with the oversized wheels and tires that stick out of the fenders looking stupid. It's the absolute WORST mod you could do to a truck. It's just plain stupid.

Basically a less perfected lbz More prone to issues and less power If you can pick up a cheaper one and do a little work to it paired with a tune you basically have an lbz
04.5 is when they changed to the LLY and that is when the injectors weren't in the valve cover like the lb7 of 01-04 😜 , not in 06 lol. 06-07 are the unicorns.
Lbz is good minus the possible Cracked Pistons Water Pump Failure Glow Plug Failure Transmission Line Leaks EGR Valve Failure. Other than that it’s okay.
why doesnt co do truck meets across the usa with entry costs and booths so its usefull and purposeful for you guys as well? you could make money, content, co labs, and a ton more...
Meanwhile my LBZ is 100% stock. The trucks that are lifted and have wide tires look cool but I tow all the time, I go wood cutting with it and some trails those tires wouldn’t make it lol. My LBZ gets used like a real truck but to each their own. Some of your guys set ups look dope though.
The "cat eye" Silverado appearance is given more credit today than it deserves. Wouldn't rate the appearance over any year of Silverado besides '00 - '03. The 90's silverados may not be the most exciting, but they're nostalgic. Have you even seen a clean and nice stanced out '16? It's appearance is much improved and arguably more aggressive looking than a '04 - '06. This is my opinion.
Best dirtymax by far at 18 i was buying one off my ex sister in law making payments cause you know family would never screw u over but I guess that's why I drive a 93 k1500 and not a dirtymax
Let's talk about how if you find one that is 4WD and less than 150k miles most listings are between $35-48k 🙄
