Hell, I think you can even get a lmm for less than a lbz in some cases.

 

[Outlaw]

You can. LBZ's are kind of a "holy grail" truck.

Have you considered just buying one that has shit balance rates and just doing the injectors? If you can show the guy on the scanner that it's not correct and negotiate even half the cost off the agreed price it might be worth it... He's selling the truck and you're getting a truck with brand new injectors that you know you won't have to worry about for another 150,000. Might be worth it to pay "half" of an injector job up front over getting one that's OK now but might need it within a year or two...

 

[Outlaw]

It seems like you're fairly mechanically inclined, and, IIRC the Duramax injectors aren't nearly as bad as a Powerstroke engine. Just my .02, but I'd rather do that and KNOW you're in a good truck.

 

[GTPpower]

No one believes me when I say their injectors suck. Gm spec is +4/-4, but everyone forgets that you need to figure in total fuel used to that to get actual ibr's.

 

[Outlaw]

I gotcha. Well that's lame. I'd say just find a truck that's hazing but who knows how long some hilbilly has let that go.

I have a 6.0 in my truck. It gets around 13 combined and towing it gets like 10 with my open trailer and my mustang on it. Ive pulled a 25 foot inclosed trailer a few times and it was fine around tow but when you get up to 60-70 mph its horrible. The truck has a hard time. And this is coming from a guy that go rid of a diesel for this truck. If you plan on only pulling a open trailer you will be fine, I cant even feel it back there when I pull it. Also, if you go the LSA or LS9 blower option Id imagine you would have horrible IAT issues and will probably hurt that motor pulling long distances. Just my two cents.

Was that a mega cab? Why did you get rid of it?

No that was all with my 6.0 silverado. The Dodge pulled the inclosed like it wasnt even there lol. I got 16 combined and 13.5 towing the inclosed to St. Louis.

It was rotting out really bad. It ran perfect but the rust snuck up on me and there was too much to try and repair. I miss that truck, I will hopefully be getting another cummins in the summer when I start making money again.

Bought an 8.5x20' enclosed trailer. Pulling it home empty with the ecoboost going 60-65, it averaged just under 8mpg. I bet my Chevy gets 5-6 pulling it.
