So I wanted to get some input from others who own these LLY Duramax’s. Ir any older duramax. I’ve got one with 323,400, still runs and drives but have plenty of problems. Too much to list. Name a problem and it probably has it. That’s a Duramax.
The costs for just parts on these trucks are a small fortune, let alone paying someone else to rebuild it professionally. Working on these things are such a headache and take so long. I can work on vehicles, but I’m not pro mechanic and I know I shouldn’t try to rebuild the thing on my own.
Unfortunately I’m left with only a few options: sell, rebuild, part out, or swap. I’d like to sell but no one wants to buy these things with high miles, they just really aren’t worth much when they’re old. I’d love to Cummins swap and make it worth something but it’s again not worth the time or money. Rebuilding is just as expensive sadly.
Should I drive it off a cliff? Redline it then junk it? What are other people’s thoughts!
