Re: Diesel Tow vehicle options
If the #8 digit is a "1", then it is indeed an LB7...LLY would be a "2"...but while the LB7's did indeed have injector troubles (covered by factory warranty 7yr/200k miles), they are among the most reliable of the Dmax trucks...best mileage, best pistons, no cooling issues, no cats & no egr, etc...
But with that said, that is a steep price for a 2wd extended cab LB7...you should be able to get into an LBZ with decent miles for that price, assuming you'd settle for a 2wd.

Re: Diesel Tow vehicle options
Rob, What can be said about 2nd owner warranty ??????
and what can be said about price disparity between say the West Coast and the Mid West. What price level on NADA or KBB should a buyer be willing to pay for 1) a dealer or 2) a private party..... Seems like most of the nice trucks are at dealers as a result of being traded in........ Thanks, Chuck

[/ QUOTE ] I believe it would be out of warranty time-wise...so, the only warranty that LB7 will have is the 7/200 on the injectors...early owner/low miles helps, but only adds peace of mind I suppose, 'cause in the end it's still a "used" truck...same issues are gonna get it as the 200k mile 12 owner truck around the corner...and the injector issues have no correlation with service upkeep at all. As for price, west coast folks seem to want a premium right now...Florida & Texas are *great* places to buy trucks, as there are bunches in both states, and folks come for the winter but leave for the summer & often times leave vehicles behind. As for pricing between dealer/private party, you can almost always save money buying it from an individual...the crappy economy has really hurt HD truck owners, and a lot of them are bailing right now...the current downturn in the price of fuel is helping them a *tad*, but trucks are still flooding the market. Just my $.02...

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, "yes"...there was a small blurb in my last "Diesel Power" about a company building a drop-in Cummins conversion cradle for the '89-'00 Chevy trucks...several different mounting height/options...looked pretty cool. You can drop one of those manual ip 5.9's in just about anything now...!
