Hey Folks, introduced myself a bit back, lurk mostly as a hopeful owner.
Now, got two trucks that are possible. 06 LLY with 204,000miles and an 07 LBZ with 155,000. color is not a matter and the two are interior identical - leather, bose, heat seats, etc. Both in good shape.
The LLY has new injectors and soft stuff replaced on the front end otherwise original equipment - no tuner, not raised - has been a 5th wheel hauler for a landscaper from Louisiana to Texas kind of run as well as towing a fish boat and run around town. Tires are fair.
The LBZ has a new turbo rebuild with a tuner, after market air shocks, new tires and set up for a camper on top.
The LBZ is $5000 (asking) more than the LLY.
MY deal: I need a pick up for hunting, heavy haul yard mule and the occasional heavy tow. It won't be a daily driver.
Is the newer truck, less miles worth the extra $5000 or would the group, in my case, opt for the less expensive truck.
Ive read the threads - both have the Alison 6 and "word" is LLY and LBZ are the same engine - some say not so due to injectors and some gaskets(?) from what I remember.
I'm not interested in tuning, lifting, racing, smoking or heavy 4wd. I want a dependable truck that may be the last truck I purchase given my limited use.
So bring forth the opinions….I thank you in advance.
