WTF did I miss here?? do these just bring crazy money???
So he puts it up for sell, first day gets people wanting to fly in to buy it...Max bank loan limit on a 06 LBZ is 16k. In good condition 20-25k all day.
I had one, but traded it in once I got it back (theft recovery).
it sold the second day for 25k.....what did I miss????
I'm not getting it... what's the want for these old trucks,.. I know his was super clean...but damn...I sold mine last year for $24k I believe. Wasn’t 4x4 so that hurt me. I think he was underpaid by about 3-4K.

That’s why I haven’t bought one yet... 200k Miles is a little too high for my comfort zone. I get the engines last. But what about everything else. I have an 02 with less than 200k. Shits falling apart
like I said.... I'm just not see'n the value... but I do know this, every time he drove it he was afraid of it getting stolen... and the constant... is this truck for sale notes,... he had to go out of town, parked it in my garage... said too many people knew it was in his garage.. I just laughed... ah OK...My pops 06 LBZ 4x4 went for 29k last year
X2These trucks bring all the dough. Not sure why. I wouldn't pay $25k for that shit...
is a 210 Hallett worth anything?Part of the value of the LBZ is it's pre-DPF/Urea and the other part of it's value is $25-30,000 seems like a bargain when new F450s are going for $100,000+ and 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks are going for $80,000+.
Same deal with used boat prices. As the market improves, and new boat prices increase across the board, the used market value continues to rise. Simple economics/Supply and Demand.
I'm sure because the Hallett 210/240/270 lineup has a "Cult" following.is a 210 Hallett worth anything?
My theory too engine itself may last but there's too many electronics on them and emissions that can fail which may cost half the truck to repair.That’s why I haven’t bought one yet... 200k Miles is a little too high for my comfort zone.

Beautiful truck. What size wheels and tires do you have? I had methods too on my 2007.5 LMM SDP twinned truck.Oh ya! Ordered mine brand new. Still love it. 197k miles & going strong.

Exactly right. They were 360 hp, 1st year with the 6 speed Allison. A much simpler truck than the new ones.Part of the value of the LBZ is it's pre-DPF/Urea and the other part of it's value is $25-30,000 seems like a bargain when new F450s are going for $100,000+ and 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks are going for $80,000+.

worthless fuggly duck....wish my dad had one....A bunch, those things are timeless! But less if it has purple pin striping. That shit isn't timeless.
No one ever talks about that stuff lol.
I had an 04 (injector issues) but even taking that out of the equation.
Truck needed new 4wd, bearings, couple other things between 80k miles when I bought it and 160k when I sold it. I very well may have been unlucky but I’d figure on any used diesel you have 5k needing to be spent somewhere

What I can never understand is why you would buy a 12 year old diesel with 200K miles and a low tow rating (12K/15K)? You can go get a new 360HP gasser with a 6 speed transmission with the same tow rating. That new gasser will be under warrenty and less money to operate.
Because you have to run the gasser at 3500 RPM up a hill and have to floor the truck sometimes, and that drives some people crazy and they think it is gonna explode.

Not true, either part.Max bank loan limit on a 06 LBZ is 16k. In good condition 20-25k all day.
Yup.......the 06 and Early 07 was the "Holy Grail" (Where have I heard that before) for the Duramax all the way to 2015 or 2016. It was the only year with that strong non-DEF motor AND the 6 speed Allison.
I bought one last year (extended cab - 1 Ton) with 100K miles, Fully loaded with Leather, Heated seats, EFI Live and a 72GA slip tank for $22K from a snow bird who was here from Canada and had the exchange advantage going for him.....and I thought I stole it........it sure does a great job hauling my 14K lb 5th wheel and I am going out of my way not to drive a new one cuz I know I'll fall in love and this thing basically just sits around waiting for a trip.
Bought my 06 4 x 4 LBZ Crew Cab new in 06. Have had NO issues in 178,000 miles except replaced the batteries and thermostats. I keep it serviced and all filters and fluids clean. Use Synthetic trans fluid. I talked to a guy in Parker that had the same truck as mine last summer, he asked how I liked my truck and how many miles on it, at the time I had about 160,000. He said he had 509,000 on his! Asked him what all he'd done to it, he replied.........NOTHING! My dealer said he'd write me a check for $20,000.00 if I wanted to sell it. Would like to have a new truck but really don't want to spend $70K + when I have a nice, unmolested truck that serves me well......
No DPF, no DEF, very little smog shit in general, has the same 6 speed trans as the 2007.5 - up trucks, and good HP / TQ out of the box. The most reliable Duramax ever produced. The term gets thrown around alot, but a 06-07 LBZ 4x4 SB CC is..........THE HOLY GRAIL OF DURAMAX TRUCKSI'm not getting it... what's the want for these old trucks,.. I know his was super clean...but damn...
Does DEF really bother you guys that much? I’m talking 2016 forward trucks. I know there were initial issues in the 07-09 trucks

Just an inconvenience really. I don't like where they mount low on the new trucks. Relocate kit and be done. I would rather have new all day. The old trucks are rattle boxes compared.
