I've been looking at used trucks today. Thinking about selling mine and buying an older used diesel. Save bout a good chunk each month on a note. Love my truck but not that much [emoji23]

Nope, it's not going anywhere, it was my granpappys favorite tractor
Love to hear those old poppers when you goose the throttle a bit and make the pop some.

Just hated to hand start one, unless it was setup properly. Need to chrome plate the exhaust pipe, that looks good on them.

They are good trucks. Dad's got a early 2000's 2500 diesel and I like it. Pretty good mileage, around 15-20 pulling a trailer all the time. I liked the 96' 2500 a lot more, but this one is starting to grow on me. Love the throttle response on this one much better. I will say that the LBZ engines are a pain in the butt with injectors. Had the set go out last summer and only had to take it apart 3 different times due to failed reman injectors. I'm sure other members on here can attest to the joy of changing the injectors on the LBZ's.

I've always heard good things about the lbz. It's coveted as the best hey made for the Duramax
Those early model DuraMax engines bad injector problems and pump problems. Our diesel tech used to hate those engines, especially when they were under warranty with 50,000 miles. Used to have to run a lot of tests on the flow and return rates to find the bad one, replace it and do it all over til they were all in specs.
Doing 4 to 6 injector was a pain for him.

And I'm not a big fan of emissions BS so I don't want any of that DEF junk
DEF can be removed, $$$$

A girl I work with, her uncle does a lot of the programming stuff on diesel trucks so I could get a deal on the programming aspect. Get up in the 30's for mpg not hauling

No kidding. We got about a year out of the injectors and it started to have really bad problems restarting in the warm weather. Ended up installing a new am lift pump this summer and that seemed to solve most of the problems. Something is still not quite right, but it works well enough so we won't be touching it.
I used to have an 82 Chevy Luv with a diesel, near 40mpg, pulled ok, if you could down shift fast enough to keep the RPMs up. Never had any problems with it after I cleaned and adjusted the injectors and replaced the timing belt. Had over 300,000 on it when I sold it for $500.
