Yes sir. It's an 06 Chevy duramax. Guy took very good care of it. Was in need of some more towing power to tow my car to the track and I found this gem I couldn't pass up

06 Duramax Best one they made bulletproof motor and trans good HP and Great torque Class leading @ the time
Cummins = Weak trans terrible injectors
Powerstroke = Heads and or EGR issues either way your askin where did my coolant go? 

Brand new they are all good they had a real world test towing Max rate of all 3 2013 from detroit to colorado then up huge grade in the rockies to give real world test ratings for towing stopping milage all that good stuff the Duramax won the shootout.


Again Nice truck great year to own

Thanks guys. The truck has 121k on it which is nothing for a diesel. Jet fever is right on the money. I researched the duramaxes for about a year and finally bought one. The best truck for the money is hands down from 06 to early 07 with the lbz motor. They made the most hp ( 360) and the most torque (650). On top of reliability. They also came with the 6 speed Alison trans. From 01 to 04 the duramax came with the lb7 motor and from late 04 to 05 and some early 06 they had the lly motors and the 5 speed trans. So basically if your looking for the best truck look for an 06 to 07 with the lbz and 6 speed package. Not a fan of ford or dodge as they had numerous problems. And like jet fever said duramax won the shoot out :)

EFI Live has been proven to be the very best upgrade you can make. Very nice choice Sir on the truck. Even though I am a Cummins guy (1999,2006,1995), I have to admit that I have had my doors blown off of me by many a Duramax. I would start saving up for new injectors. The common rail injectors are delicate and sensitive and don't last as long as the old mechanical injectors.

Yeah I have the ppe programmer that is set to level 2 which is a 90 hp tune and he did swap the injectors. He was a diesel mechanic in Orange County so he had a list of receipts for this thing as well as for the previous owner. I want to get the efi live or the evolution live

They run good for being a rice burner!!!
I used to work on em when they first came out had all kinds of injector problems. But GM got that all figured out their a good piece now. Amazing the HP and torque with just a programmer.
Congrats!!!!
