Here's why a 500hp Manual LB7 Duramax is the PERFECT Daily Driver

My manual, lifted, and wide LB7 Duramax is an interesting truck to daily drive. From the 22X14s, to the 4-6" lift, to the high HP tune (stage 5) to the clunky ZF6 and aftermarket clutch, it makes it a unique experience for sure!

-2003 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab Short Bed
-66k miles
-Original ZF6 manual
-LB7 Duramax
-Too many mods to list!

Lmao I drove a 10k pound 7.3 dually zf6 as my very first vehicle. I single handedly seal coated my high school parking lot with oil leaks and diesel leaks. Biggest pos on the lot but boy did I love it. C clamps to keep the utility body closed because the latches rusted out of it. Then pulled up in the cleanest e46 bmw the next year no one really knew what to think of me😂

We fixed a Cummins at our work to get it running and damn. I’m in love. I want a manual diesel for fun now!

Love this video because most of the points you hit were the exact reason I love my truck. The On Star part was the only dud, lol. Most city slickers wouldn't understand!

I think you just built greta thurnburg's dream vehicle.

This video was hilarious haha! Quick question though! I have a 2003 chevy 2500hd LB7 and I'm running 37s. I'm on my 3rd red head steering gear in less than a year. Do you have any advice?? I can't tell you how many shops I've been too and no one knows what to do

[trevorfast]

I really want to know the part number for the transfer case. I’m looking to turn my 03 3500 dually with ZF6 into 4x4. So far you and one other guy on YouTube have an 03 with zf6 with 4x4

[Dingthedingbat]

The owners manual says one may let the LB7 idle all night.

[dakotaferris]

If you cut up the clips and take out the word truck it sounds like your talking about a prius 😂. I am always jealous of your truck though, it definitely has a place.

[half-assedandnotfast]

I've obsessed over buying a zf6 for years but too much money and problems. Glad I never did!

[justinwood]

Lol. I feel bad for the stater on that thing.

[BM-vbbo]

Fuel economy really isn’t even bad 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[MLCIT]

That wheel setup is horrible. Great truck, but thin rubber on the large negative offset rims makes it look like a joke. :(

[kevinp]

Wish you didn’t sell but on to bigger projects!

Love my Honda hybrid, my Duramax sits at home on a charger.

[javonyoung]

Why complain about a truck if you chose to own it

[mrxklash]

hey if you don't want it, I got a, "mint, " 2013 prius we can trade.
