Bought an LMM with 325,000 miles from the oil fields of Texas. Love that thing and it's a beast towing and hauling 500 miles a day over Applicable about every time it moves.
Higher mileage diesel truck is better choice because the last owner pretty much replaced all the issues it having and replaced it with better parts and have it bulletproof the reason you see guys with 400k miles on their engine and still going strong!
Yup! Just bought an 06 LBZ w 260k. You have to know what to look past if your a painter like myself. Mine was bone stock w a 5 position tuner. And a phantom coolant leak. Tackled the egr delete which turned into manifold and up pipe - downpipe change. Found coolant leak behind down pipe. Now it runs like a new truck motor and trans wise. Couldn’t be happier. About to drive it from Ma to Florida.
Just bought a bone stock old man owned 07 classic with 260k on it. Dealer maintained and well worth saving the 10k+ on it compared to one with half the miles
Bought 120k lbz from 07 Arizona truck, so clean it’s insane, definitely feels good having a truck that no one has beat on and was treated like shit, will last longer than any high milage truck that 6 different 17 years old have owned in the past 2 years
i bought a 04 lb7 with just under 300k and in inside is insanely clean besides some headliner sag, as far as i can tell its a 1 owner truck before me. but i only paid 8500 vs the 35k people are asking.. i can build a motor for less than 20k so really mileage doesnt matter in that sense
@@Povertycab hell yes dude as long as the frame and body aren’t rusted to oblivion everything else is repairable, great score my headliner sags right in the front behind the sun visor on passenger side I gotta fix it before it gets worse haha
@@LumenChaser yea that’s the exact spot mine is sagging, I planned on doing a starlight anyways so I didn’t mind it, but sadly the rockers and can corners are getting bad. From it being a north truck that came to the south, but I priced it and it’s around 2k to fix so not bad really. Frame is good just has some surface rust
Love the high mileage truck! You build the trans,if not your opinion who to trust to build? I have a bone stock 05 LLY with 379,000 miles on original everything..thinking upgrading trans
I have 2 LB7s a ZF6 with 97,000 miles but a rotted Frame and mint body and and a regualr one with 348,000 rotted body but mint frame Im planning to do a frame swap both are extended cab 8ft bed configurations
Go with the daily driving high mileage I Bought a 89k stock 1 owner lbz 2 years ago been nothing but problems. Biggest was constant limp mode for low fuel pressure all the seals and lines in the fuel system had holes were kinked or wouldn’t seal was sucking in air replaced eveything from the tank to the cp3 and did a hi flow cp3 kit with a ported fitting and bigger lines deleting the stock shit small lines. Also cause the truck sat all the seals dry rotted ended up ripping the whole thing apart after both upper valve covers started pouring oil so I deleted it new ppe up pipes ppe down pipe to 5” straight with a wherli custom fab hi flow kit on motor now she’s in a great spot. After buying the truck for 20k and dumping close to 15k in parts should of got a 6.7
Should I buy a 300k miles lb7 the onwer said it was “never tuned” also got the injectors replaced. The truck is sitting on 24x12 and the frame n body is solid so is the “motor & drivetrain”
Take a higher mileage good running Southern US truck over a lower mileage piece from anywhere else save for maybe the desert Southwest. Boight an old farm truck for cheap(!) But they had maintained and replaced a lot of stuff and runs great even with almost 400,000 miles now. Just broken in. Did i mention it was cheap?! Bought it just before the diesel craze took off and no one wanted to hang onto these. Back in '17-'18 no one was going diesel crazy yet.
My 400k mile shitbox needed work and still needs work, but I paid 2.6k for it and I know a guy who’s got more motors on hand haha. Just wish she would simmer down on the leaking.
the main reason id say go with a high mile truck is purely the cost of the low mile trucks. you can get a decent high mile lbz/lb7 for 7500-10k or you could get a 100k mile lbz/lb7 for 30kish. you can fix alot of issues with 20k. dont like the clapped out seats? $750 for all new cleans seats and interior. are those injectors clapped? go ahead and get those nice and new 40 overs and installed for 5k? just my take on buying clean vs clapped trucks
I’ve got a nice 06 LBZ thinking of selling. Original owner. 145K CCLB with a lot of extras. In storage in Cali. Never seen snow. Needs a few little things to be perfect. Blue/gray color.
@@dieselsyrup I’m trying to figure a reasonable price to put on it. There is a lot to say about it. It’s been well taken of. Lucas add in it belly and Diesel clean every other tank. I was thinking around 25k but like I said you would have to hear the history. I could send you some info and pictures if you like. You
Where you from? Im in alberta too lol pretty sure ive seen you truck. Never would have thought it was almost a milion k. Thats awesome. A few huttrites in my area have lbzs with over a mill on em and still driving them around and they work them hard.
I picked one up with the intent of keeping it forever. So I bought a 2007 LBZ classic with 65,000 miles in mint maintained condition. I can justify $24K for that versus a brand new $90K truck

That’s the hope. That the previous owner took care of their truck
Higher mileage truck has my vote

Love the high mileage truck! You build the trans,if not your opinion who to trust to build? I have a bone stock 05 LLY with 379,000 miles on original everything..thinking upgrading trans
Quick question. Did you ever do a valve adjustment on the high mileage lbz? I heard your supposed to adjust them every 100k.

Me personally i would choose the lbz

Higher mileage can be better, cause all the parts that worn out have already been replaced or upgraded
Very true!
