Gmc 2500hd
 

I have a chance to purchase a 2003 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4 with a Duramax Diesel, Allison Transmission but I have to pull the trigger by tomorrow. Has 244000 miles on it. Trans was redone at 102000 miles and had new injectors 40000 miles ago. The owner is a friend of the family and it was very well maintain. The miles are Highway miles. He is going to trade it in on a new truck and the dealer is going to give him $11500.00. I can buy it for that. Any input will be appreciated. Going to look at it in a hour. Thanks.

How many miles does it have now?

244000

nope

Nope What?

244k???????? Pass on it. The price is not that great either.

Assuming the truck is loaded LT with everything that price is the low end of the market which is ok but not great deal.


The 03 power is good but the 06 LBZ Duramax is the start of the new design, current production, which is much better of a build. 06 has no exhaust emission junk, except for an egr, and all that other fuel robbing stuff starts in 07.

Good luck

Looked it up on KBB and NADA and both had it listed average retail with that kinda mileage up around 20000k. They only deducted like 3200k for the high mileage.

It is the SLT package.

I have a 05 with 50k and love it !!! would pass on this for sure !!

wouldn't do it. not a great price, lot of miles, even though the injectors have been replaced they seem to have a habit of going out again on that year model. Don't know why, theoretically they should be just as good as the current one's, but they don't seem to be.

X2 Scott. Pass on this one.

If it was well cared for and not hammered on I'd say its a decent deal considering the price of Duramax trucks these days, power differences from the 04 to the 06 are minimal, if you want a little more there are tons of programmers and tuning software out there, an 04 could either be LB7 or LLY either are good options, LB7's had injetor issues but with 244 on it om sure if its an LB7 they have been done. LLY's have a few issues with cooling but can all be fixed with minor cheap mods. That truck with lower mileage say, 150k range would bring almost 20k around here.
