    Very thorough... My 06 would pass all those checks and it's at a hard 200k.
    Egr flow excessive is likely from a clogged air filter, that's the first thing that throws that code.

    I really appreciate your videos, I have been watching them for a couple years now and it has helped motivate me to buy my first dirtymax last year, It's an 05 lly crew cab chevy 4x4 and came with a 60 gallon fuel toolbox. I have watched just about every video you have and I love the before and after comparisons, not that many people do that. Thank you for your time and effort you put in these videos and congratulations on the new Duramax buy, really clean truck.

    I just got an 05 rust free crew cab long bed lly. Blown hg. They broke the coolant reservoir cap so it would relieve all the pressure. I bought it as is. Everything looked good. But as I started driving around later in the week she started drinking coolant. When I was filling the coolant I noticed something inside the the cap was jiggling around so I replaced it. Then the bubbles in the reservoir started. I got it in the shop now. Definitely blown hg.

    7:08 Vehicle production begins early for the new year. This one was manufactured in the latter half of 06 as you can see, with the September 2006 stamp, so it was marketed as an 07. Also, in 07, the newer boxier body style was released for both the GMC and Chevy so it was a split year, with this cat-eye bodystyle being maintained in production under the name "Silverado/Sierra Classic"

      Tammi Lutz there are many places to look for a coolant leak the trucks are known for lower radiator hoses to leak also could be a water pump, cross over pipe that connects to both of the heads or it could be the head gaskets eating the coolant and you can test the head gaskets with a block tester on the coolant tank just can’t get any coolant in the bottom of the tester that will mess up the test or if the is coolant on the grown then you know it’s a external leak not the head gaskets

    Take off the cold side piping above the egr valve, the lbz uses a lot of low flow egr during cruise, and the valve on the passenger side fills with oil and soot, which causes it to stick open when the goo in there is cold. Problem doesn't happen when hot unless the egr valve is shot.
    You can also pull off the actuator and push the valve manually to see how sticky it is.
    I cleaned mine out 20k ago and not a problem since. Would always throw a light when cruising at 50 mph for 10 minutes in cold weather.
    20k for an LBZ still? I paid 24k back in 2012 for a cclb with less than 100k. I've got a bunch more tips for common issues with these.

    What do you think about the 2011 Duramax? There’s a really nice one but it has 211k miles on it. Seems to run and sound really nice. No milky substance. Seems to be super well taken care of. It was a 1 owner corporate truck, all stock. I’m in Texas. What all is there to worry about on the Duramax and what do you think it’d cost to fix blown headgaskets? Doesn’t have any head gasket issues as of now though

    When he is looking at the rear leaf springs and he says "everything looks pretty good" I was thinking that's one of the cleanest undercarriages I've ever seen.

      They are strong and they last a long time but they are not bulletproof unless you build them

    The sticker inside the door shows when the truck was assembled. It’s not necessarily the model year. It’s an 07 truck built in September of 06.

    the 2006 lly is the exact same engine as the lbz. the only difference is chevy hadn’t finished the lbz tune yet so they just kept using the lly tune until the lbz tune was done. the engine and all is 100% the same

    You know its a rust free truck when the factory grey primer is still underneath the cab! I have a duramax now that still has no rust in those areas. We have car washes here in indiana that do underbody wash i took mine through it anytime I drive in salt.
