06-07.5 LBZ & LLY Duramax PowertrainDiscussion of components that are directly involved in the power production and all that is needed to get and keep the truck moving . Engine , Transmission Ect
yep,they all really do not differ that much,as example,the only diff IIRC in the LLY and the LBZ is the tuning,and a few other things,but that's another thread.If I had to buy a Duramax it would be later than a 04.5 for darn sure.After they took care of those faulty,leaking and case cracking injectors..Not to mention after tons of injectors failed in those years,then the filtration was paid close attention to....
My lbz just turned 61k,never ant trouble 90hp tune,and I never hooked onto something I could not pull!!!
