What can be said about 2nd owner warranty ??????

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...

Just a quick look shows...

'07 LBZ, regular cab long bed 4x4, 30k miles, $21,000

'06 LBZ, ex. cab long bed 4x4, 128k miles, $20,000

I've been jonesing for a d-max for a good while now, but it looks like I'm keeping my old '99 crew/dually/2x4/454/4L80. Anyone know of a conversion to put a cummins in a Chevy?

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...!
