Today Dustin takes a deep dive into the LBZ Duramax to figure out why they're still so popular this day and age! What do you think about the LBZ Duramax?

I had an LBZ, best truck I’ve ever owned. I sold it with about 475,240 miles on it, and it had 0 issues. Now that I have my new truck, I regret selling that ol LBZ...
TexanErection - was it the original motor?
Cameron Boyer yep, the only think I had to replace on it was the belt. That went out after 300k
I went that far on miles on a regular 5.3L 2002 Chevrolet Suburabn replaced the transmision but the motor kept going untouched when I sold it
@@texanerection492 nice makes me happy I made a good choice on a lbz, did you delete the egr?
Oh how much did it sell for?
Tstan I didn’t. From the sounds of it, it sounds like you get some pretty rock solid benefits from doing that, but since I’ve never done it I can’t speak from experience. Oh I sold it for about $7k. I could have probably gone higher, but i beat the 💩 outta the body and it didn’t seem very fair of me to do that. Hope you’ve been liking it👍
Lbz gang wya 🙋🏼♂️
Soon
Right here👋👋
Right here, I only got a couple...
Just got one Saturday
Got 400k on mine
Congrats on Cat Eye LBZ. I freaking love my 06 GMC LBZ searched for a year to find one in good shape and low miles. Such a comfortable good pulling truck without all the emissions crap.
2006 LBZ 3500 with 281k miles. Still pulling strong. Towed 12k lbs from the Hill Country to South Texas in Scorching heat for 5 hrs in the am then 5 hrs back to the yard in the pm. Temp outside reached a high of 108°(low of 94°) and it had to be at or near 100% humidity. She loved every minute of that pull. A/C blew ICE cold. Best Truck Ive ever had. Ill never sell her. My Children are youngsters but already fighting for her.
The lly also had a restrictive turbo mouth piece. One of my really good friend changed out his mouthpiece with a s&b and it helped with the over heating issue and let the turbo breath. I own an LBZ GMC with 328,000 and it still puts me back in my seat and I plan on keeping it until even when the motor blows and put a new one in it.
Just bought a 06 chevy lbz off my grandpa. Living in alberta we as well deal with a lot of rust🙄 But this bad boy only has 107 thousand kms and no rust. Already ordered a 4.5 lift and a bunch of other goodies!
Better be off customoffsets.com
Good for you my guy
Billy Joe I live in Canada so sadly I did not order the stuff from custom offsets as the shipping is very expensive to get all that stuff here
They aren’t terrible for rust hear in Alberta my buddy’s dad gave him his old lbz but lucky him they lived in Texas for a while and it’s got no rust
I have a 2007 LBZ in Calgary with 201k km that I've owned since new, make sure you check the rockers and cab corners diligently. Mine seemed fine until the cab corner rotted out at the bottom from the inside. Wish I used fluid film all those years.
Bought mine in 2017. Watched car adds daily. Mine came on the market at a dealer. Drove to the dealer took one look at the truck and said I’ll take it. Salesman informed me it’s a good thing I did because someone else was on their way to purchase and other customer was on the phone wanting to make the purchase. Never regretted my purchase. Have used mine to pull my 12k lbs work trucks out of the mud....saved on towing cost. At 250k looking forward to 500k.
I have an LLY I bought brand new and still going strong.
mines got 380k miles, runs like a dream
@@hadenharper3641 really cause I’m thinking of buying one with 200k miles. Have it treated you well?
4th gen cummins w/the aisin for the win!!
still rockin an 03 single cab lb7 with stock injectors!
I love my LBZ. 310k miles and absolutely NO issues. I use it for hauling gravel and equipment, but still can clean it up and take it to shows
Did you delete the egr?
@@stn7172 No. All mechanically stock besides a tune and exhaust
I’m so glad you finally got you a cateye duramax. Can’t wait for the build series!!
Love my LBZ!!! Never had anything break that wasn't my fault! Mine was lifted for 4 years and now it's lowered. Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for your build!
I've got a lbz with a 10" lift that I want lowered too. can you tell me how much it cost you to lower yours?
@@frankchiu8524 well, the easiest way to do it is find someone to trade setups with. If that’s not an option then you’ll need shocks, u bolts, sway bar end links, stock knuckles, and the weld in cross member which can be found at a junkyard or NorCal trucks website. I spent about a grand on quality parts to be lowered.
I have my '06 LBZ with 121K miles love the truck! My friends have 2016-2021 Duramaxs & Ram cummins trucks 5 of the 7 have taken their trucks back to dealership because electrical issues & one cummins with broken trans. No issues with my LBZ just simple maintenance!
I've got a 2007 GMC Sierra 3500 LBZ CCLB dually w/ 312,000 miles and get offers everyday! Other than water pumps and interior dash lights going out....ZERO problems!
I have a 2006 LBZ , first diesel I’ve ever owned. Seems like a good truck with 245k
The lbz is hands down imo the most well rounded diesel out there. It still is my favorite diesel I have ever owned. Never had a single motor or transmission problem with it.
I have the early07 lbz classic 3500 quad cab long box, my dream truck. Being my first diesel I didnt realize when I bought it how gr8 it really was. Its my go anywhere, tow anything, carry everything and everybody beast. Absolutely love it
got an LBZ about 10 years ago, tuned, replaced intake and exhaust, upgraded the fuel system a little bit. havent had it on a dyno but put some decent tuning in it i believe its a little over 500hp. 275k miles on it and it still runs like its brand new!
I bought my 2006 CHEVY 2500 LBZ in June 0f 2006....18 Years later I still love it. SS fuel lines, SS brake lines and a Kryptonite front end. BEST TRUCK EVER!
I have an 07 GMC LBZ with about 345,000 miles on it. I bought it new to use in my construction business and its been a great asset. Loved the video and keep up the good work
I own a 06 gmc lbz and I love it, have some plans so it doesn’t stay stock very long
Dustin, you are my favorite person. Cateye + LBZ + 07 classic! My respects to you sir
The LBZ has been my dream truck for the last 4 years . I finally start my job as a nurse and my first purchase will be a low mileage lbz in blue granite metallic (4x4 Of course!) . I can’t freaking wait!
Love my lbz bought it 5 years ago daily drove it for 2 years now it mainly does any towing or long road trips and couldn’t be happier with it!
Wasn’t 2003 it was 2000, than it was released 2001, duramax was born in 2001.
And GM owns Isuzu as well, just asked them to build a engine for them
👆 he's correct you know lol fix this @customoffset
It’s want 2003 either that was the lb7
I think he said 2003 because that’s when the cat eyes first came out, just a simple mistake.
@Jacob Del Bene designed by in collaboration with gm
I do have a 2007 crew cab Classic with short bed. I have owned it for 14 yrs, new off the lot. I use it to tow a 5th wheel RV. It has performed in all conditions than others I have passed going over steep grades. Love my truck.
Dustin should start a UA-cam channel and show us the Lbz build
they prolly gonna do a build series on the channel like they did for lawson
You didn't mention that half of 2006 was still coded as LLY, which it was a completely different motor than the LLY, in fact it was an LBZ but it was de-tuned to 300hp and 600 ft lbs, they didn't boost the power numbers and change the engine code until they saw how they performed for the first half of the sales year.
Thanks for the feature! Can’t wait to get back to the states to drive her again! LBZ best diesel ever!
Love your videos @itzhamm I just bought a lb7 with 155k on it
It is till u need to tow something..
@@reaganriddle My 07 LBZ towed trailers for 10 years until I retired her from the business last year. What are you smoking?
@@keepingitsimple4740 all I’m saying is go to a rodeo and see what they pull trailers with, it’s all ford and sometimes dodge.
@@reaganriddle A rodeo in your little bubble? Go to a Home Depot or a Lowes and see how many Chevy trucks are parked there. I have horses, as do some of our friends and neighbors. You should tell them to sell their Chevy trucks before they haul their horses to the next show. SMH
I had a 2006 gmc 2500hd 4×4 ext cab LBZ had it for 4 years put 850000 miles on it hauling changed oil every 10k best truck i ever owned wish i could put that motor in my 2021 gmc now
Lbz and lb7 are the best. I personally own an lb7 and absolutely love it.
I bought a 64,000 original mile LLY awhile back and absolutely love it! Already replaced the turbo mouthpiece very strong running truck
I bought my truck of the lot at a young age of 21, crew cab, black on black LT. My dream truck, im 34 now and the lbz is still going strong with only minor issues like the notorious loss of fuel pressure, but other then that the odometer reads 144.000 and is still breaking necks.. I'm chevy guy for life because of this truck.
the lbz cateye is my dream truck too that and a squarebody
LBZ squarebody...
@@jake_ruhl not even lying I saw a guy who did that I have a picture of the ad he was selling it on
Sup Dustin, I had the '06 Chevrolet LBZ and I absolutely LOVED IT 💯%! The ONLY reason I no longer have it is because the Wife insisted on a 2017 Denali! I am always looking for the perfect LBZ! Love C/O!
Owned a 96 suburban with 6 inch lift and 35 bfg. Bought it new and was the best hauler I've ever had until the 6.5 td took a shi#. Now running a 06 lbz ext. Cab long bed with air bags and a 40 gallon tank in the bed. Still able to close the tailgate with the bikes in the back. Love it
Lb7 started in 01 with the bubble eye trucks and had minor changes in 03 with different charge pipe lengths and boots
01 was sick!
So much wrong in this video from someone whos supposed to be an expert.
2007 was hands down the best year for diesels in their primes. 2007 we had the 5.9 Cummins, LBZ Duramax and the 6.0 powerstroke all three were refined, more reliable and awesome! great power and even better sound!
I heard the 6.0 was the worst Ford Diesel ever made. Supposedly they could cost you $5k-$10k in repairs
@@jasonbrown5014 6.0 is not bad if you put head studs on it. The 6.4 power stroke is junk.
@@richardturner7560 how much does that cost?
@@jasonbrown5014 it’s about $600 bucks for just studs, then you add labor if you have someone do it and if you do new head gaskets before studding it it’ll add to that, not hard to do honestly, the EGR delete is highly recommended for 6.0s since their coolers collapse internally and fill the cylinders with coolant
06 LBZ had no DPF like the 07. Same motor and transmission. 07 lost mpg. 06 all day 21 mpg empty, 19 towing enclosed and 14 towing 10k excavator.
Best towing GM of the last 20 years.
Good video keep them coming to us
The LB7 wasn't the only diesel with common rail injection
When the 3rd gen Cummins trucks came out that version of 5.9 came with Common Rail injection
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST THE GMC BODY STYLES?! 😡
LOL
Noooooo, I love them. To be honest, I almost bought a Sierra before I found this lbz. I think the gmcs are very underrated! -Dustin
Let’s just say the gmc’s started looking the best in 2015
@JW Montoya your l5p nice 👌
@@m0nster0usZ0mbie *2014
Bought one a few years ago before the stance diesels started getting so popular. A south GA farmers truck, all factory still and in great shape with some new parts and work done, coated frame and a few miles but it was so cheap I couldn't say no. Now it's worth 2.5x what I bought mine for. Got lucky 🤓
I have a LBZ in a 2007 2500 classic. Only 165k on it and going strong. 99% of the time it tows a 24ft work trailer or 32ft travel trailer. Really enjoyed the video.
1 yr later what happened
I have an '07 w/ 440,000km and it is still super strong.
All stock and never lifted so I've had zero issues w/ front end.
Engine has never failed me only needing glow plugs & ECU(got cheap on amazon for $250)
i bought an ext cab/ long bed 4x4 lbz / allison brand new, still have it, still love it! its got a whoppin' 42k miles on it - i have a peterbilt work truck, so the lbz is not a daily driver. but i use it all the time around the farm to pull trailers and whatever needs done. but, with the family, now i wish it was a 4 door 😔
Bought brand new in 06. Best truck I’ve ever driven and the most powerful stock truck I’ve ever been in…. Very reliable trucks, comfortable, haul a 17k trailer around like it’s absolutely nothing, and has plenty of power to put the smack down to most kids cars or other trucks on the road…. Definitely one of the best Duramax motors ever produced, with the L5P leading 1st due to how much of absolute monster they are, especially tuned and deleted…
17k bumper pull ? Or gooseneck?
Didn't think they were rated to tow this much weight?
The lbz classic was the first truck I ever bought brand new of the lot. Still have it and love it!
120,000 miles on it!
@@alderbottomoutdoors9794 how's it running today? Any repairs or maintenance you had to do?
Sweet! Just found a 2006 lbz duramax that I was considering, and now this video is on my recommended
I love my 2007 duramax 2500! Power is amazing and gas mileage isn't too eyewatering. Easy to tow boats and trailers with bobcats. Great utility vehicle!
I drive an 07 lbz dually, after deleting it and throwing a nice tune in there she's making nearly 600 hp. Never had any problems at all with her, she'll handle damn near anything you throw at her!
How’s the Allison holding up?
@@bigchungus1848 just hit 307k miles and never had to replace it. Never had any problems with it either, still shifts smooth as butter!
@@kaiserant7320that’s rare
I have a 2007 LBZ w/ 142,000 miles and been traveling for the last year in my retirement. I held onto this thing for 13 years and barely drove it until now. It’s all stock except a FASS lift pump. Good video.
looking to get one for my first truck, I’m finding a lot for under 20k which is pretty surprising tbh, but i’m excited!! Will definitely get some stuff from custom offsets
I had 2 LB7’s over the last 15 years… and just recently found a 06 with 75k miles that lived in a garage it’s whole life. Such a fun truck!
🤘😎👍 Just got mine back in August! Look forward to the content.
I have had my LBZ for almost 4 years now. And boy was she a hidden gem. 2006, Crew Cab, LT3 package, and she only had 52k miles! But unfortunately, due to Wisconsin salt, my rockers and cab corners are gone, even with me washing almost every week during winter. Currently sitting at 123k miles and hoping to get a ton of life out of her!
My dad has recently passed, so I inherited his 07 LBZ she has a 6in lift with 35s and a full exhaust kit.. beautiful truck is an understatement
Sounds like a stout truck!
Congratulations Dustin. Glad you found one. Cant wait to see the build series
Looking forward to seeing an LBZ build series!
Congrats on the new truck Dustin. Looking forward to the mods that you have planned for it
Thanks Karl! -Dustin
@@CustomOffsetsTV lb7 started in 01 and development in 99.
@@CustomOffsetsTV Not to dog on your videos, but it seems you guys need to do more research before posting some of these informational type videos.
September 2020 I became an lbz owner❣ my first diesel and I am soooo glad I was lucky enough to get the truck I did! 2007 2500 HD classic. The power is amazing! That turbo whistle is pretty sweet too!
How’s the towing?
@@dallasjames4272 rides better with weight on it. Feels like a rock without weight! It does great!
@@rt66hdguyifyany tips to make it ride better?
@beronib888 mine is lifted 6 inches and has 35 inch tires. It rides like James said pretty much till you put some heavy weight in it. I just got used to it. I'm sure you could spend a bunch and get it softer but I'm not sure what that would do to the way it tows
I bought an ‘06 LBZ new and still own it. Tuned w/ a PPE, few other tiny engine mods and airbags on the rear w a flatbed later. Will pull whatever you put behind it and will get there in a hurry. Absolutely love it. Oh and has 410k mi and still no issues. Best truck ever.
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for that beauty! Holy crap! 💯😻
I have one. 2007 with 58,000 original miles
Loved the video and can't wait to see the build. But you know what I haven't seen? A Powerstroke What's the Hype. And specifically a certain engine made from 94-2003, slow as a bull, pulls like a workhorse, overpriced on the marketplace, and last but not least... Reliable. lol
So I'm curious to know would a lbz radiator drop in a lly with no modifications?
so the first chevy was equivalent today to almost $60k
Damnit thats the exact truck I'm looking for to upgrade while towing my camper!
I own a 2007 gmc serria lbz duramax classic, and i have modified it to 1186hp and 1900lb feet of tq. it has a single 98mm garret turbo, stage two socal af cam, stage 4 trans, and wc fab piping aa mm front and rear end. truck makes around 40-60 lbs of boost. it also has wc fab track bars and anthem equalizer rims and much more. its a beast!!! best truck ever in my opinion.
just bought my dream truck CCLB LBZ LT Duramax. bought it 247k miles for $12,500. frame is so clean. i get compliments on how clean it is. no rust. 85% stock. has the original window sticker. and the flipping glove box air bag sticker. i’m the second owner. guy towed with it. has upgrades shocks. leaf springs. diff and tranny cover. bigger breaks. all new ss break lines. new driver side seat. it’s deleted so it’s not clogged up. i’ve owned for 4 months now. it’s been a dream. rides so nice for a 2500 with the independent suspension. if your looking to buy an lbz. just do it. if your pockets are deep for some upgrades. do it. i’ve got efi live, 35 inch tires, boost gauges from glow shift. new lights. ect. it’s a project. but at your own will.
I’ve had an 07 lbz for about a year and my dads had one since it was new in 06. Best trucks ever made IMO
Congrats on the new rig Dustin!
Thanks Thad! I’m excited to build this and have you guys along for the ride! -Dustin
Coming from the marine diesel world I just love my 2006 6.6L 3500 dually. Bought with only 16,000 miles on it as a package to move the 35' 5th wheel attached. The first owner made a mistake. Found that RVing was not for him. That was late 2006.
2021 & now over 230,000 miles the truck is still going strong. It has dragged that 12,000lb trailer into every state from MD at least twice, been to Alaska four times & been in every Canadian province, even Newfoundland. It is used exclusively for RV related travel. It's tires have touched the waters of the Atlantic ocean & also the Pacific Ocean. It has climbed the highest paved road in the US, Mt Evans, CO. It spends six months of the year indoors in complete hibernation.
Service-wise it gets nothing but the best treatment. It has never been to a Chevy service center. It gets oil changes at double the recommended frequency, every 3000 miles. A small town garage gets it every year & is told to go through it as if they were personally going to be taking it on a long expedition. Not a speck of rust in it. The truck has never seen snow.
We have a few more RVing years left in us but when we are finished somebody will get a hard worked but very well loved bone stock truck.
Very cool thanks for sharing ✌️
I have a 2004 5.3 but have thought of either doing a 6.2 LT4 or 6.6 LBZ swap.
Just bought myself a 05 lly cat eye duramax and love it my dream truck for sure
Love my 2007 GMC classic crew shorty. It's a dodge eater even under a load. Upgrades are Air dog, straight pipe, egr delete, and a few more. Love it
Oh yeah. Tow 18k to 20k on a regular
I have one she’s the best and it’s a dually
I've probably watched this video like a dozen times lol. I have a 06 crew cab with about 205k miles. I bought it from a friend/mechanic and it was originally a work truck that was fleet maintained. It has new injectors, egr delete, professionally tuned computer and a few other goodies but I always had problem with the y bridge. So I got the hsp ybridge kit and cant wait til my beast is back in action lol.
That’s why I own 3 LBZs they all have over 300k with no major issues!! 👍
Great video, man and nice truck! I have an 07 LBZ CCLB Dually with 187k and she's been great to me. She is also a FE9 truck which means emissions meet Federal requirements and none of that State crap!
Yes I own a 2007 Chevy 2500hd LBZ DURAMAX, CCSB, incredible Rig I must say , LOVE it !!!
LBZ ftw🖖🏻
Aside from the transmission I think the LLY is just as good
Definitely great trucks! -Dustin
I agree with that. Especially when you look at the price difference.
@@BeastlyWarrior228 I can definitely say my LLY for the mods it had and condition, was probably atleast 5 grand cheaper than a comparable lbz
LLY's have head gasket issues dont they?
@@jacobking4106 they do with the combined drawback of the small turbo mouth piece and the smaller radiator makes it easier for trucks to overheat pulling a trailer up a hill.
Although people found out that if you replace the turbo mouthpiece that usually takes care of it. Mines studed so I don't have a thing to worry about
Personally I think the best Durmax ever made is the first gen lb7 because A no Emissions or egr B The torque it has and C It just sounds the best . And for work truck I have driven the LBZ and LLY every day and I own a lb7 to me its the best u can't kill them
Had lb7, lbz(just got another one yay), 2018 l5p, and 2021 at4 l5p. My favorite pulling truck is the 18 l5p the torque is nuts. Second favorite is the lbz bc of power and throttle response. Loved my lb7 she just didnt have enough umf. New at4 l5p made me switch to a powerstroke. 😢
I'm getting an lbz slt sierra 2006 in a few days and that will also be my first truck. really looking forward to driving it. so watching this video made me more confident on my choice, thanks guys!
I've got a 07 gmc classic lbz and I love it
Me too ❤️ it .....best truck I’ve ever owned hands down ......love my dually .....lol it is a very tough truck it blows away traffic in a heartbeat 💓 even loaded with 10 thousand pounds haha 😛 I plan on keeping it for as long as I can. Even to the point of a full restoration in the future if need be.
2:22 2003? The LB7 started in 01
2:38 they introduced high pressure common rail, not regular common rail
3:34 18 months?! Once again, the LB7 started in 01 and went through the first half of 04, replaced by the LLY
I have an 06 LBZ CC DRW with less than 100k, pretty happy with it
I felt like I was watching a donuts media video. 👏👏 cool vid tho
I got a rust free 2002 LB7 replaced injectors no other issues and have a 2006 LBZ 3500 love them both
Just bought my first Duramax in Feb. it’s a ‘07 LBZ!!!
Awesome informative video 👍👍💪💪
Had new hybrid lbz/lb7 engine put in because old lbz broke the crank. Now stuck in limp mode and saying turbo is stuck at 100%. Also brand new Sinister pitbull series turbo had tech run a tune because of dpf/egr delete but idk how good that is I'm not sure what to do next ANY IDEAS
I have a lly recently bought it and absolutely love it dream truck as a little kid Bc of the body style new dream truck 4th gen Cummins six speed
Congrats Dustin welcome to the fam we’ve been expecting you!
I have a lly
I love my truck
However tho lbz are great
The lly seems to be of better value and the easier to find
And gm rates 95% of all lly dmax will reach 200,000 miles w minor issues and repair
Aka if the truck runs cool and is close to 200 k and well maintained
You’ve got a good one 👌🏻
I have an 03 lb7 Zero problems and i love the truck plenty of power stock and tuned also. Hopefully in the future i can get an lbz tho
Gotta love that “classic” 05 and 06 Cat Eye!
was never a chevy guy till i had an lbz for sale fall in my lap when i started looking for a tow rig. gotta say at almost 300k for miles I absolutely love it. pulls everything like its not even there ontop of riding like a damn caddy. i almost want to go find a lower mile clean one now but gd theyre asking almost new msrp for em now lol.
I’ve got on 06 LBZ crew cab short bed with just over 500k. It really is a million mile truck
Bought a 2007 2500 CC with 91K miles back in 2021. Leather, heated seats, DVD player, the works. First diesel I ever owned, loved that truck. Someone decided they wanted it more than me and stole it Sept 2022. Found another LBZ, this time an 06, 3500 CCLB. Same color, same features but add sunroof/delete DVD, with 101K miles. Connect my loaded up utility trailer with my 4 wheeler and drive through the mountains of Utah and dont even know the trailer is there.
I loved my 06 gmc until someone took it. Now I’m putting a low mile lbz in a 93 c3500 dually. Using a gmt800 Escalade interior will make it the perfect balance of looks, function and comfort.
Just got a 2006 Silverado LBZ. LOVE IT
Congrats Dustin
